what other languages do you know or what to learn?

I took french from grades 3-9, and then spanish for 3 years after that. It comes to me quite easily, so no, it wasn't very hard. Unfortunately I haven't had much opportunity to use them outside of school so they've sort of faded from my mind. It can be an advantage to know more than one language when applying for certain jobs.

English is my second language. It is really useful for me to get a job. When in college, I'd learnt French for one year. I've got a good native French-speaking teacher. And now I am studying Japanese.

And my 1000th response goes to!!!!!!! lol. My mother tongue is English. I speak conversational Tagalog after living in the Philippines for a year and a half (well maybe not quite conversational but enough to get by; maybe a few thousand words). My partner is also Filipina. I have lived in India so speak a few words of Hindi. I now live in Egypt so know a few Arabic words here and there as well. I by no means am able to speak either Hindi OR Arabic in any comfortable way and I tend to understand more than I can actually speak; but I am able to at least say the standard stuff like OK, hello, goodbye, thank you etc Same as the above goes with French, German and Spanish. Just a few words here and there. I would love to be fluent in a language other than English and it is most definitely an advantage to be able to speak more than one language because the world is becoming a smaller place whether we like it or not! Speaking more than one language also can open many doors in a career etc. And in terms of difficulty; I struggled a LOT trying to pick up more Hindi. Yet I found Tagalog not so hard to pick up here and there. The fact that my partner;s family do not speak English helped in this way I guess! I find Arabic somewhat difficult also. Both Hindi and Arabic have a lot of different accents on letters and words that I struggle with; yet I find Tagalog flows much better in this regard. Salamat po and I wish you maraming swerte!

I ONLY KNOW CHINESE AND ENGLISH.i want to learn spanish and started a discussion about it for help.mylotters have given me some good suggestions.there are many free resources for lanhuage learning.just to search,you'll find it.by the way,which foreign language do you want to learn?

I had to say English. (Of course, otherwise I can particiapted here in myLot ) It had huge advantage learning English cause I can speak and write to many friends in the world. (I was in a pen friends club for years) and when internet go world wide, I can surf online and type here with all members of myLot.

hi my friend I am interested in this discussion.I am a chinese.But i learn other countries' languages,like english,japanese.I am very happy at these lanaguages.I learn them by myself.No teachers. think i have a gift for this kind of studying.I am not tired to learning my favorite languages. Maybe in future,i will learn others,like french,etc. have a good day

i know english of course learn it from school, i also know a little spanish learn it during college but i dont have anybody to talk with i remember a little but i am not sure if i cant still make a sentence. i know also to speak japanese, i worked ther twice and learned the language there. my sister is married to a japanese so i have still someone to talk with

I want to learn japanese and chinese language. Well, for me its really hard for them to understand. I guess they felt the same way to our language (tagalog) but anyway some japanese or chinese people also studying many language most especially English. Being smart and curious will make us grow and if ever we'll have a chance to travel abroad I know we can learn different language too. =)

I speak our national language which is Tagalog. I think I'm fluent enough in English. I know a little Japanese, to be precise, Nippongo. And a little Spanish. I learned how to speak Japanese and Spanish, while I'm in high school. What I really love to learn how to speak is French. In my opinion, it is really an advantage if you could speak different languages so you can communicate well with other people, in different countries.

As a Filipino and a true-blue Bulaceño, I should be fluent enough in Tagalog language. Of course, I learned English in school but not so fluent like I have to be, in Tagalog language. I know a little of Japanese, Spanish, Pampangueño, Ilocano, and Bisaya. But my second language today, after tagalog is Cebuano, which I learned to speak well after my 15 years of stay here in Cebu...

foreign languange is always be my passion. I've learn english since i was 8 years old, yap my parents push me to learn it, but in the process i enjoy it and love it. Now, i am still in the process to gain some skill on chinesee languange and spanish languange. Oh ya, forget to mention, i am from indonesia, so indonesian languange is my number 1 languange. :)

i don't know other languages except my mother tongue and english... but i wanted to learn nihongo... because i'm an anime, manga and jdorama fan. once i learned nihongo i don't have to keep on looking for subbed.

i know filipino & english languages. of course, yu need to know your mother tongue coz you won't be able to communicate & express yourself. and as for me, it s also important to know how to speak in english since it is the universal language.

My mother tongue is Tamil.I know to speak and read the language but can't write so easily.While still a kid our family shifted to North India where the two prominent languages were Hindi and Marathi.I learnt both - to read,write & speak in Hindi and to read,write in Marathi.I am fluent in english too.And in schoole I had French for a subject but I am out of touch with the language now.I hope I will take some time off in the future to relearn that language.

I am an Indian ...being in an Indian country since its a diverse u get to learn many regional languages ..Currently I known Hindi, Marathi ,Punjabi and Bengali .....Apart from that I have learnt Spanish ...it was an amazing experience ..especially when we were interacting with the Spanish professors...Right now i am learning Welsh .....i am finding it difficult to grasp the words.....lets c ...whether i will be able to put another feather in my cap......

It is double language system for my country. Everyone gets to learn their mother tougue plus English starting right from as young as kindergarden. So no problem for me.

I can only speak two languages. I wish I could speak another language- mandarin! I don’t understand the language but I love to watch some of the mandarin series that's shown on tv. Also some of the songs are quite nice too;)

English i am sure is so universal that it is good if everyone knew. then comes the mother tongue - tamil which i knw and speak at home. hindi is something i learnt from school, so pretty good at tht. but always wanted to learn a foreign language as i thought it is always a plus point in a resume. started learning german , but then could not continue more. vil surely learn some language sometime.

My mother language is Punjabi and national is Urdu.I also know English as I have studied it upto Masters level.I want to learn Arabic as it is our religious language and will be spoken in Heaven as the only medium of conversation.By learning Arabic,it will be easier for me to understand the last divine Book,the Holy Quran and sayings of our beloved final Prophet Muhammad(pbuh).

Of Course I know Filipino and English. I took up BA European languages major in French and minor in Spanish. So I could say that I'm fluent at both languages although I must admit that it was really hard to learn a new language because it is very different form the ones you know and you have to unlearn your old language just for you to be able to absorb the language. Yes it is definitely an advantage for me to learn a new language because I could actually appreciate and understand more cultures because of it.
