While I cannot speak it fluently, I've been studying Latin for the past couple of years.

QUOTE(Peaktao @ Jan 28 2006, 07:35 PM) How come there' no 'french' in the poll. It's a second language for most English students (at school). For me, English is my second language...but I have been in England for 5 years now...so it doesn't feel so much like it's a second language...and I wouldn't wanna go to any more English classes...If I were to learn more, I would do french. I have done a bit of it..But I guess French might not be as useful as spanish or even chinese these days..I don't mind chinese...it's becoming more popular and useful ...but...the characters are so hard.  well actually I made it, when i was done i thought noooo i forgot French, but I think thats because my second laguage is french ! hahahaaaa sorry bout that, by the way, if it can mbe edited in anyway by operators, maybe someone would be kind to do that for me

I am currently a student in the United States and aside from learning the native tongue here, I am also studying the Spanish language, culture. and traditions. I also speak fluent Polish. At the high school that I attend, there are three different languages that you can pick from to study: Spanish, French, and German. If I were to learn another language, it would most likely have to be German, as I was born there and I do not know anything about the language.

My first language is English but I'm pretty fluent in Spanish because my family is from Colombia. I also know basic French (enough to start a little conversation) and I can read some Portuguese.
Someday I would love to learn how to speak in Russian. I was going to take classes at my university this semester but I didn't have enough room so maybe next time. Actually I wish I could learn many languages; I've always had a fascination with them. |

Heh.. I'd actually like to learn more Japanese.. I'm working on it, and getting pretty far, but since they dont use the roman alphabet, reading it is starting to seem like a whole new game XD (Well, katakana and hiragana were easy, but I dont think I'll ever learn enough kanji XD)

I'd like to learn more French, enough to get into a basic conversation rather than just being able to ordering food and such. I'm learning Spanish at the moment as well which I'm finding very hard, "tengo unos anos"* is about all I can say
 I don't really want to have to learn that......BTW, out of interest, what country speaks Telegu? // Added French option to the poll * Means I'm one-year old |

Good although in this forum intent to speak something of English, this undoubtedly is not my native language.
My language from birth is Spanish and I live in espaņa.It is also certain that with this forum I am practicing my English a little, although I am even given quite bad. Soon I would like to learn frances and German, good in fact frances you a little, but only the basic thing that I gave in the instituo, and English I gave in the institute and also some particular classes. Good here it is all statement I hope to go learning little by little. |

Well my native language is Hungarian and my second is Romanian. Because I live in Romania but I am a Hungarian
My third language, which I learned from the time I was 4 or 5 years old is English. I have a beginner's level in French and German (learned French 6 years in school and German 2 years with tutor). I am looking at the possibility of learning Russian or continuing my German, but don't really have the time the mood and the money. |
