How many languages do you speak ?

[Bartek S.]

Latin is a language fo medicine and I had to learn it during my university classes, I'm a veterinarian. Older time we use to write our medical reports in Latin. Not enymore.

 

[Anisc]

English, Bengali, Hindi & French .........great to see such a multi cultural group on this forum..

Shonguiz, I don't know where you're from, but is it possible in your country to study Latin?

No.

English, Croatian, I can say few words in German but I prefer not

 

[Bruce]

Only English.

I speak german and english...I was able to speak french, but that's a long time ago!

 

[NarutoRamen]

It's indian languages no ?

Yep...they're indian languages.

Urduu = A mix of Arabic and Hindi
Hindi = Derivitive of Sanskrit
Punjabi = Originally 16 differen languages in one.
--Punjabi has 2 different flavors. 1. Gurmukhi - it is the original, very strict punjabi. 2. Hindi-punjabi - A mix of hindi and punjabi words.

All three are very, very different languages. Hope that helps.

Another 10 year old thread revived.

I only speak, read and write in Dutch. The only language that matters obviously.

I know hehe, but then, kind of glad we did

 

[Giannis]

4 here as well. Greek (obviously), English, German and some Italian.

1, English... Isn't that just typical of someone from the UK!

The girlfriend is Romanian, but since she's fairly well fluent in English, with some French and Italian, she lets me be lazy! We are really crap as a nation at learning other languages, it always makes me feel guilty being abroad, but the likes of camera supported Google Translate on my phone make it too easy.

What's that ?

 

[Matski]

What's that ?

Google Translate app has a live visual translator, so anything you want to read it will translate in real time. It's not perfect but I've found it really useful not just for when I'm travelling (Signs, menus etc), but also for translated printed documents. It does a load of other stuff too.

edit:

Crappy example but a German Beer mat is all I have to hand!

 

[Gianclaudio]

Spanish, english, italian and portuguese.
I used to speak french when kid, nowadays I can understand 50% of what's written.

Funny thing is, I'm much better at writing English than talking, while the complete opposite is for Italian, I speak it fluently but the grammar is so hard....damm tt's, zz's and ll's.

On a side note, is devastating to read the way most people writes in latinamerica, this really is the most decadent and involutive continent, the education levels must have reach bottom......sad, sad, sad.

 

[Rainer271]

German, a little bit polish and I think the worst english in this forum. At least perceived when I compare my postings with your postings.

 

[MikeJ]

Finnish, English, Swedish, German, Spanish and French. However, I should brush up on the last two...
I've thought of taking up Russian, or, just for the sake of finding out how easy it would be to learn a language that is related to mine, Estonian.

Hmm. During the 11 years that have passed since I wrote that message, I did take up Russian (in the sense that I attended two courses, learned the alphabet and a bunch of other stuff which I have since forgotten bar a couple of basic phrases). And I still should brush up on my Spanish and French. And perhaps my German too...

 

[Mick Briesgau]

Fluently Dutch and German. A bit of English and French, that's it.
