Which languages do you speak?

In my room i speak Bangla and my mother tongue. But out side i use English to speak and Chinese with Chinese people. as i stay in China. In class i speak English because my class mate from different country. Some time i use Hindi to talk with my Indian friend. And some time Urdu with Pakistani friend.

Hey. :) I live in Romania, and I only speak Romanian and English. I started learning English when I was 3, at kindergarten. We had American teachers, so they had some standards, I guess. :P Suited me just fine, because when I got to school, I was basically top of my class at the subject. :P Went through 8 years of it in primary, along with 4 years of French which didn't really stick to me. Then had another 4 years of English and French, where nothing really happened. We were too unsettled (as students) to pay attention to English, and almost all of us had NO knowledge of French, so the teacher took it easy with us. As for my native language... well, started talking at 9 months, learned to read at 2 years and 7 months, (at home) and learned to write at 5. (again, at home) Then hell broke lose. Our language is difficult to learn. Everything has more than one meaning, there are maybe a dozen times for verbs, as well as different categories. Had to go through 12 years of this, and I must say it wasn't pleasant, nor was I any good at it, lol. Teachers had expectations though, so I had to live up to them... all I can say is that I tried my best. :P The basics of the language can be learned in a few months, but what they had in mind was turning us into literature worms, and I hate literature more than I hate school. Hope this helps. :P

I live in the USA and in our state they have just required our students to learn a second language to graduate. When I was in school it wasn't required, I took spanish class in high school but my teacher moved to fast for me and I didn't learn then he told me "I didn't have the brains God gave a monkey!" in front of the whole class, so I closed my book and worked on my history!!!! I wish I had learned spanish as many times it would have came in handy working in restruants and with the public. I am glad the kids do have to learn a second language but I will be honest, we have a lot of parents that are against this!!!!!

hi. :-) I'm using my motherland's language which is Filipino (Tagalog) but in cases when there are foreigners not adept to my language, I use English. I also studied Spanish during highschool and until now but I lack practice so my know how to speak is limited. I am interested in speaking french but it is costly here in my country to do so. You are lucky you've learned those languages. I kinda envy you.LOL

I speak Polish is it my orginal language. I speak czech I live near this country I have 5 minut to them so I always had contact with people from this coutry so I learn automatically . I speak English I learn him when I come hire 5 years ago so it is my fifth years when I learn this language. I can speak a little German this is language whose I learn in school 10 years , but be honest I don't speak that good like for example English.

Wow, I envy you, I would have loved to study Latin! English is my native language and at school I studied French for 4 years, it was compulsory and I also studied some Dutch and Japanese on the side. Languages are awesome but I don't seem to have the aptitude to learn them well unfortunately so I will just stick to attempting to master the English language. :)

I speak spanish and english. English is my first language. I read, write, and speak english everyday. Spanish is my second language. I read, write, and speak spanish when necessary. I speak spanish and english to my fiance. I know a little creole but not enough to considered it a third language. They do offer second languages in the middle schools. I find that the spanish I learned at school is helpful as far as conjugation goes. I learned way more being around conversation. I know way more just being part of the conversation. Where I live spanish is just as important as english. You should be able to understand a little of both. If not you may have difficulty. I think languages especially the ones that are spoken in the community should be taught. THat's why I promote the children's shows like Sesame Street. They will tell you the word in english then in other languages, mostly spanish. You'd be surprised how Dora, Sesame Street, etc. help children. They can help all who watch. Languages are a gift. THey will get you jobs as well. Who would you hire? A person with one language or a person with multiple. I think it answers itself. These days if you dont know a few languages you may be in trouble. Happy MyLotting dl

hey im from India and there are many languages in India(above 10).My native place is kerala and i speak Malayalam which is the language there and i also speak English.apart from this two i understand and speak a little Tamil and Hindi.And these are the four languages i speak

In addition to our native language, we speak english in my country (Philippines). I speak basic Japanese (tada yasashii na nihonggo), english and tagalog. Other languages like french, spanish and japanese etc.. are being taught in some universities. I took spanish but since I have no one to talk with in the said language I forgot how to. I love languages too. It would be nice to speak with someone abroad.

I can speak Mandarin, Russian and English. Mandarin is my mother language. Russian is my first foreign language. When I was a child I started to study Russian. I also got a chance to study in a Russian university. Later when I purchased for my master degree I started to study English. Now I live in the UK. at my daily life I use English more than others. However I still have problem to deal with the language. I need to spend more time on studing it. I'm glad to meet you here and happy mylotting.

In my country there are many languages. Mine mother tounge is Bagheli, I usually speak Hindi which is our national language. I also speak Marathi which is spoken in maharastra where I work. In short you can say that most of the states in India follow a different language but Hindi is the most common. Hindi is the official language of our country and regional languages are also used as per their regions.

wow that's nice! I hope I can enter in those kinds of school too. It is very advantageous if you know a lot of languages. I wasn't able to learn a lot of languages because there were no school that could teach me the Languages I want to learn. Our country's Language is Tagalog and have a lot of dialects. In our place we have the Ilokano dialect and almost all Filipinos know how to speak english because It is being taught in school. The Language that I would like to learn were spanish, latin, japanese Language, and finally, I want to know more about mandarin because there were a lot of countries here in Asia that uses it.

i've learned quite a few languages throughout my days.. i'm quite fluent in english, mandarin, malay and indonesian. i'm a bit rusty with my spanish & japanese. and i can understand, but have difficulty speaking tamil, arabic & portuguese..

Wow, you do well!! I can only speak French and a little German. I studied French to O level and did two years of German. I would live to be able to speak more languages, I alwys try to pick u[p a little bit of which ever country I visit just so I can at least show a little repect for their language

Other than English,I can speak German,Having done training and work experience in Germany,Many moons ago now...I have some basics in French and Spanish,but nothing I can make a conversation out of as yet..Having encountered Germans,French,and Eastern Europeans through work,I'd like to pick up some of those languages,but not being related to English like German and French are,they seem a lot tougher to get a grasp of as they don't have any (or Many!) words in common,apart from the borrowed ones...

Well, I'm a native English speaker so that is the only language that I really have a handle on, but I did study Spanish for five years when I was in middle school and high school and I know enough to carry on a pretty good conversation, but there are some things that I know ae lacking. In addition to this, I also took one semester of French when I was in college, but I really can't remember any of that except for a few little terms.

For me yes but it is easy to learn if you love to learn different languages.

Wow nice... karen.. more languages you learn by schooling, i want to learn it also. but in our place we speak only Pilipino languages tagalog, sometimes english and but mostly tagalog,

I speak English and Spanish. I want to learn French.

I speak in English, Russian and Latvian, but my native is Russian.
