Never a dope, dearest.  *puts arm around you*  You're smart enough to have figured me out.

Being a native Danish gal, I'm fluent in my own language.  English & German are my back up!

I wish I could be fluent in it.  The only teacher I had was my mother, and she had lost much of it.

There are several language programs for the computer, which has proven to be a pretty effective way to learn language, short of moving to the place.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...

Aw, you're such a sweetheart, Ell!  :icon_hug:

I always look forward to hearing what you have to say. Please don't let supercillious preeners (like me :embarrassed:) get you down.

Yearghh!! I totally misparsed that the first time. I was trying to figure out how learning Python can help you with your Dutch!

Ell,

I've never thought of you as being impolite at all.

I always like your posts, ellie. Well, most of them. Just love it when you go bi-lingual on us and speak bitchy and bratty alternately!!! >:D

Bitchy and ornery I can speak that language to sometimes, but I keep to myself most times. Wing Walker has seen me get bitchy and bratty now and again for all of the duration of couple of swears words length.

Bon soir, Mlle Ell.

None, really, but I am reading "How to Learn Any Language" by Barry Farber. It is from MJF books.

Adrian D.

I am fluent in: English
I can read and communicate in basic: German
I am currently studying: German, Japanese, Swedish, Russian
I want to study: French

Unfortunately, I can never get any other languages to stick in my mind other than English and German so, I probably won't be able to stick with the other languages I am currently trying to learn. ^^;

Oh, and if anyone wants to try to learn a new language, may I suggest  http://www.livemocha.com;D

AweSAM!

Fluent:
French
English

Can read:
Spanish (took a year of it in high school)

Forgotten with no intention of relearning:
Hebrew (I can still remember bits and pieces, I can read/write a little, recognize a few words, but I'm mostly clueless. I used to be able to speak it.)

Want to learn:
Luxembourgish (I know that might seem quite odd since it's only spoken by around 500000 people)
German (If Luxembourgish isn't an option)
Maybe more if my brain permits... Sans explosion.

Apart from my native English, I know very basic French and Spanish.
I have no concrete idea of my gender identity, but I believe I am an Androgyne.

I speak some German and write/speak some Japanese. I would kill to be fluent in either!

I'd also like to learn French, Russian, and Gaelic.

Looks like someone pulled the ress-scroll.  8)

I am fluent in Dutch and English.
Near fluent in German.
I get by in French and Russian (my French is better though I can read cyrillic).
I'd like to improve my French and Russian as well as my writing in German, and Spanish would be a nice addition.

I am Fluent in French & English

I can scrape by in some simple spanish

I know a few words of German & Cornish.

Funnily enough when I was younger I noticed that after some years on estrogen my aptitude for picking up languages, which was alway fairly average, actually seemed to go up a bit.

Hurtfulsplash

I speak English and bad English, but I was in French immersion until grade 7, I've lost most of it now though. Would like to pick it up again someday. My mother's side is Ojibwa and my grandmother speaks it, wish I could learn that too.
