I speak English (of course) and some immediate French, though it's a little rusty nowadays.

Do coding languages count? :P

Sure! They are languages after all, aren't they? Though try not to get off the subject please.


It seems there are a few people here that know Japanese or want to learn Japanese, I think we could all learn together, I would also love to learn Japanese.


I also want to learn Finnish for two reasons: 1) I'm very interested in the culture and 2) I would love to go to Finland to study linguistics and start my training on General Semantics there http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_semantics


(About time I replied, though I personally like to wait first. He he).

Well, since you asked to revive it...

I speak English. Just English. Though, I used to have a Spanish class in School, but I don't remember much Spanish...

I can also speak Pokemon! Pi! Pika pi chu pika pichu kapi!...okay, not really.

I speak two languages at the moment. Yes, I am planning to learn more; Italian would be useful for my interests.

My native tongue is Polish, as you may already know. I'm writing in my second language, obviously. I had German classes throughout my middle school and high school, but it has never really stick to me. I just don't find that language appealing, sadly. Though, my uncle has a PhD in German philology.

There's one funny thing English and Polish language teachers have in common. As you were taught in school that you should never start a sentence with a coordinating conjunction, my teachers taught me the same in Polish. And you know what? It's not true. Every time I wanted to put an emphasis on a rhetorical question when writing something for school using a coordinating conjunction, the old hag that was my teacher in middle school would take away points for that.

I had English classes throughout my entire public education, and they were utter garbage. I am mainly self-taught. Back in my high school days I used to sleep through all the English classes. They were so boring. From time to time when I wasn't sleeping I even spotted some ridiculous translation mistakes in my school textbooks, and consulted my teacher about them. Can you bloody imagine that?

I know Hungarian, my native language, but otherwise I use English most of the time, because of the work I do. Funny thing is, I use English so much to watch movies, play games, etc, that half the time I think in English without realizing it.

Thanks. I was lucky to have a great English teacher back in school, she gave me seperate classes to help learn higher english. Past elementary I mostly learned it by socializing online, since English in high school was... erm... well the teacher just flat-out told the class he won't even bother trying to teach them anymore. I think the second thing that helped most was when I started watching everything in original English instead of crappy local dubs.

I also thought of studying more languages, mostly Spanish and German came to mind.
