I think this topic has been covered previously - under Humanities if I remember correctly.

Posted by Cydonia on General board !
In the future, please post topics about languages on the Humanities Board.
We will not merge this with topic with the other two language threads on the Humanities Board. This topic can stand on its own, apart from two existing threads on "Foreign Languages".

No. That's Spanish for...no.
I do know karate...and several other foreign words.
Joking aside, I know enough Spanish to converse just barely with a three year old.

No, I can't speak any foreign language unless you count Braille as a foreign language. I tried to learn Spanish, but my tongue wouldn't work.

The other thread seems long ago buried in Humanities, so I'll respond here. I am also fluent in French, but that isn't really foreign, since it is Canada's other official language. With that French base, I can guess my way into what is spoken in Spanish, Italian, and other Latin-basd languages, but I couldn't say much to them.

Like most Americans of my generation, I didn't have any opportunity to learn a foreign language during elementary school. I started French in 7th grade and Spanish in eighth. Then, my dad went on sabbatical to Germany right after I finished high school. Go straight to college, or take a year off to spend in Europe? So I learned German, which is my best spoken language. French is my best written language. These languages are a huge help for doing Trivia quizzes and reading Chaucer.

I speak schoolgirl French and a bit of Italian (enough to get around.) My biggest problem in Europe is that people speak so quickly I find it very difficult to catch much of what people say.

Fast talking is probably the most difficult thing to understand in any language you're not used to. My second language is Danish, but we had 5 years of Latin, 3 of French, 1 each of German, Spanish and Russian in school, and I learned a bit of Chinese and Greek on the side. All helpful in quizzes.

I took 5 years of French in middle and high school, and was able to get around well on my trip to France. I have since forgotten most of due to lack of use. I recently picked up Italian, and can speak it at a basic conversational level at the moment.

I can speak fluent German, and a smattering of French and Spanish. Learning German was hard, because the grammar is tricky. French and Spanish I learned in high school, and I remember Spanish being easier to pick up than French, since French grammar is difficult, too.

At school I learnt Italian, Spanish and Japanese, I remember a few things. It was fun to learn a different language and the pronunciation was fun to listen to.

I learned in school english and spanish, but I can also speak and understand a lot from italian and french. Spanish and italian resemble a lot my language, which is romanian.
