so I am in a discussion a site I frequent about what people on there speak . So I'm wondering about my buddies here. If you can speak another language what is it? Fluent? Any reason you learned it?
Me personally I am mildly versed in Finnish, German, Greek, and a years worth of HS Navajo from a decade ago lol. The first three are the spoken languages by my grandparents on both sides, the Navajo was cause I lived in flagstaff AZ on the res and thought I'd need it. I was so wrong lol.
Ooo, languages. Never ask a dutchy about his language skills they say. ;)
I've had basic French And German in school. English ofc and my native Dutch. Next to that I speak just enough Spanish to order a tequila and convince speakers I don't :)
I got portuguese because im brazilian, spanish because its easy if you know portuguese, english because i live in the US, and some French because French
English, semi-fluent in Spanish, and a little bit of German, Dutch, French, and Italian for when I studied abroad, but everyone there knew English, so I didn't need to learn much.
I used to be pretty fluent in French, but as years pass with no one to speak with, I have lost most of my ability to hold a conversation. However, I can still read it, which is weird.
I'm obviously fluent in English, mostly fluent in Hebrew, and speak some Spanish. I'm not so good at Spanish but I'm working on it. (Yes, I'm still in HS)
Fluent in English, French, somewhat fluent in German
English and can speak halting Spanish..
English, basic Spanish, some Tagalog and various insults in other languages
English and a little Spanish
So am I the only one who knows/knew Latin? I know you don't "speak" it any more but I took 4 years of it in high school.
Also used to speak some passable German. Picked it up from a college friend who grew up in Germany.

My teacher made me memorize a bunch of Greek/Latin roots, does that count? Surprisingly useful for figuring out what a word means!
