I'm curious about the language abilities of the Funtrivia populace. What languages do you speak? Which languages have you studied? Which languages do you find difficult to study? What has been your language learning experience?

I can speak English and Tagalog/Filipino (language spoken in the Philippines).

There is also a language casually spoken by Filipinos. It's the combining of English terms with the Filipino language or vice versa. It's called 'Taglish'. :)

I can speak two languages...English and New York! Having grown up on "Lawn Guyland", I was well familiar with the accent common in that part of the country. I often kid people that I can speak to New "Yawkas" in their native tongue, and also speak to everyone else in English.

On a much more serious note, I studied German in Junior and Senior High, but I forgot most of it, mainly through lack of use. My grandparents all spoke Slovak. Wish I learned some of that.

I learned French until I was 13 and German from ages 11 - 16. I can recognise words in French but couldn't form a sentance. I could probably stumble through a conversation in German.

Now I live in NZ so am surrounded by Maori - I know words only.

I also know the sign language alphabet for England and NZ

I speak Romanian and English.
I've learned German in school for 7 years but I remember very little of it. A funny/strange thing is that I've never learned any French yet I can understand a lot when reading and I also think I will be able to find my way around in a French speaking country if forced. :)
