aside from your native language, do you know other languages or dialects? My native dialect is Ilocano (this is the language in Northern Philippines) but I know how to speak Tagalog, English, I understand a bit of Ybanag (another dialect in Northern Philippines). I can speak very little of Jpaneese

Hello yammydudes!
I can speak, read and write in four languages namely Urdu, English, French and Panjabi. There are two more languages (Persian and Arabic) that I can understand and read but I can't speak them or write them myself. I do have a little understanding of some other local laguages of my country but not enough. I really love to learn languages and whereever I go I try to have some basic understanding of their local language so as to understand a little better.

Except for my mother tongue Italian I can speak English quite well, my dialect of course which hasn't an English name and I understand lots of other italian dialects, Latin, I can understand Spanish and some french because it's similar to my dialect and two or three words in Japanese and Korean (I wish I had time to learn those two though...)

Hi there, besides of talking in my own dialect I also use English as my mother tongue. And I have some functional knowledge of 4 other languages : Tagalog, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese and Spanish. I hope I could learn those languages and perform in excellent.

Here in sweden all the dialects are the same language so we all understand eachother. I also understand norweigian and danish and they understand me as well since the language is alot alike.
I also speak and understand english fluently and I used to know turkish as well - but i forgot most when I broke up with the guy I was with at the time.

im affraid to say that the only language I know is english even though I would love to learn spanish because most of my family knows speaks in spanish and my grandmother only knows how to speak in spanish and it would be nice to understand her because when she stays at our house I have no idea what shes saying and it would be nice to be able to talk to her and stuf.
