DLers, do you speak another language?

French

English, French, German, Spanish.

Learned lots of English right here on DL as a teenager, long before I started posting.

I'm so proud of my insult-Spanish! I can go toe-to-toe with the best of them and I ain't even Latino!

Pig-latin

I speak Jive.

I speak Polish

Proficient in French and can read Latin.

French

I speak French, can read 90% of French media - but it's a skill I haven't used in so long, that I would just say I'm advanced. Not fluent anymore.

A lot of people overestimate their language ability. And no, taking high school language courses do not count - you're still pretty much a beginner who knows some vocabulary.

German.

I can read Greek & Latin (they aren’t really taught as spoken languages - at least in the US).

Tried a few semesters of Russian and had a hard time. Thought I’d be better at it knowing Greek, but no.

I also speak Spanish. Spoke it at home, though lost a bit of vocabulary as English became my dominant language. Improved upon my first language, as an adult by watching movies, videos, and TV in Spanish, as well as having conversation with other Spanish speakers.

Dutch, German, French. Some Spanish.

Italiain, Spanish, and I can understand around 75% of written Portuguese.

Italian was my first language and the primary language spoken in my home.

I spoke perfect English as a kid and had no problems in school. I guess I learned English from television and neighbors as I had no siblings. This was during the Mad Men era.

R14, has your Italian gotten worse over time? Mine has. At this point, it's really just a boutique language, and unless you're in Italy, there is very little reason to speak it.

Yes, many, in fact. English (not my first language but having lived in North America for 30 years, it is my first language these days), German and French (very well), Italian and Spanish (solid) and can get by with basic reading and conversational skills in Japanese. Also studied Latin for two years in Grades 11 and 12.

I speak Jive.

"We done tuned in on the first groove, cat—ain’t no need for a rerun. You squawkin’ like a repeatin’ parakeet?"

Dutch, English, German, French. Very rudimentary Spanish.

R17, meet R5

I talk to the trees, but they don't listen to me.

I majored in Spanish in college, but that was many, MANY years ago and my proficiency is not what it used to be. I can understand written Spanish pretty well, but spoken Spanish is a challenge because most people speak too fast.

I took a lot of French and Italian (HS and college) and can "get by" in either one to a lesser degree.

R21: I love your reference. Rather obscure, even for DL.

I talk - how you say ? - 27 no-same lankweech.

Yass!
