My mother tongue is Filipino and my second language is English. I also understand a bit of Kapampangan (a dialect in the Philippines), although I don't really speak it.

It's true that there are similar words in Filipino and Spanish because we used to be a Spanish colony. Actually, it's more acurate to say that lots of Filipino words are derived from Spanish words. Many Filipinos also use the Spanish numbers like uno, dos, tres, etc.

I think Filipino is not very hard to learn. But then again, I'm a native speaker. I think it would be better to get the opinion of a non-native speaker who is studying or has studied Filipino.

Hi stanlee, my mother tongue is Hainan. I mixed with many neighbors and playmates since my childhood. Their ancestors are mostly from the different parts of china so I could speak very well in their dialects, like southern Fujian dialect, Cantonese and Hakka. My Fujian and Cantonese speaking improve tremendously after watching the tv series from Hong Kong and Taiwan frequently Here in Malaysia we learn 3 languages since our primary school days. So we could speak and write in Malay, Chinese and English language well. If I could, I would like to learn Spanish as well. Happy posting

You are most welcome. I wonder whether it is difficult to manage. I was told that the pronunciation of this language is quite similar to that of the Malay language which we are quite familiar with in our place. Yeah, it’s in Romanization. Hopefully this could help me a lot in learning this language later on.

I can understand *written*: Swedish, some norwegian ... and spoken... I can understand Mexican Spanish. I'm also learning American Sign languages. A friend of mine by the age of 15 could fluently read, write and speak: English, Mexican Spanish, Canadien French, French, Norwegian, Swedish, Dutch, Russian, German. My understanding that Europe for the most part has stricter linguistic study requiremens than America does...
