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?

English is my native language and I'm fluent in French and German. Furthermore, I studied Latin at school and am currently learning Russian. I'm really impressed with the language skills of Fun Trivia members - almost all of those who've posted replies on this board have far better language abilites than I do! I thought I was doing pretty well 'til I encountered you lot... :( Reply #41. Jan 12 04, 7:01 PM |

I speak English, but have some training in French but am not fluent,as I only have two years so far of it. I know a bit of Latin (and hope to be fluent someday because I want to be a vet and knowing Latin would make remembering everything way simpler). I also want to learn Gaelic (because my dad's family came from Ireland). Reply #43. Feb 16 04, 11:57 PM |

Well, which language should I name here? I speak 5 lngauges and am learning the sixth one. Two are my own languages, then I speak English, Dutch, Urdu, and am learning Germans. I think Germans is very difficult langauge, with it's complicated Grammer it just kills me. Dutch is also difficult, but now I am going on with it, getting better. Reply #45. Feb 24 04, 9:38 AM |

I speak English fluently and German to a capable degree. I think the hardest thing with learning new languages is the new grammer concepts! It can be confusing :( Reply #48. Mar 09 04, 4:38 AM |

hi all, in my opinion German is the easiest language in the world (but probably only for Germans :D ), so I learn Spanish, French and English too. Here just a little sentence to think about: Denke nicht gedacht zu haben, denn das Denken der Gedanken ist gedankenloses Denken; Wenn du denkst, du denkst, so denkst du, dass du denkst, aber denken tust du nie.

I can only speak English, but I am learning Spanish at school. I used to be able to speak fluent marathi, but I forgot most of it when I started school, but I also know a couple of words in another language. I am not sure whether it is marathi or tamil though. Reply #52. Mar 13 04, 10:12 PM |

I speak English fluently, but I wish to learn Hindu, French, and Japanese. They don't teach Hindu in schools so I have been teaching myself. It's a reall hard language. But next year I'll be taking French or Japenese if I'm lucky. Reply #54. Mar 21 04, 5:15 PM |

Oracle, I usually have to tell people to USE capitals, now I'm asking you to only use them in the normal places ie at the beginning of sentences or names. I know in German many words are capitalised, but I don't know about Swedish. Thanks, satguru, board moderator. Reply #57. Apr 07 04, 7:10 AM |

Hi there, I speak English( i guess fluently) and I speak Sinhala. Ever heard of that language? We are the only country (Sri Lanka) that speaks this language. Anybody know where Sri Lanka is even? Reply #58. Apr 14 04, 11:21 PM |

I know where Sri Lanka is (possibly required to moderate in geography...) but I haven't heard of Sinhala. Is it also called Singhalese? Reply #59. Apr 15 04, 1:06 PM |
