How many languages can you speak?

[Gyssar]

Oooh... Arabic. Very difficult language.

I had severe difficulties with it even tough it's me dad's native language.

The grammar isn't that tough, but learning to speak Arabic is a painful mess.

It's got far more more variety to it's phonetic structure than any other language in the world.

Some phrases seem almost impossible to pronounce when you start learning it. It's like breaking your adam's apple with your own neck muscles.

Hmm sounds interesting Rick :yes:

Mandarin Chinese and English. Taiwanese and Spanish I can speak a little bit of and understand more than I can speak... a pity since Taiwanese is a lingo I love and is my heritage, espanol is just plain cool, but I hate the grammar with all the tenses and stuff... chinese grammar is simple and straightforward

and by English I mean American

I learnt French in Years 7,8 and 9 however, it would not be very useful as it is only very basic conversational French. "Et toi?"

By reading this thread it seems that French is a very popular foreign language :bananarock:

For my part : English (sort of), Spanish, Dutch, basic Chinese, and a deep love for my native language (French, obviously)

I became also very good at Legalese, after six boring years at university. It's a language on its own. For travelling purposes it's not as useful as English. But it's definately useful for everything else.
