Second languages - Darth-Apple - June 26th, 2013
Personally, foreign languages were always difficult for me, and I always found it amazing when people could just pick them up like it was second nature. I do know some Spanish, but I'm not particularly great at it by any means.

I know a fair amount of German and Swedish, mainly from watching Downfall
Re: Second languages - Darth-Apple - June 26th, 2013
Maybe I should try that with spanish haha.
Re: Second languages - Acko - June 26th, 2013
Well, Downfall is a pretty offensive movie. It's about the final ten days in hitler's bunker. The only thing that makes it fun is the parodies people make of it, like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RElwKjgn490

I voted no.
I love languages and would love to be able to speak more than one language fluently, but I can't. Best I can do is learn a few words, which I then forget a few months later.
Re: Second languages - Darth-Apple - June 27th, 2013
I'm the same way for the most part. I can learn a lot quickly, but retaining it is the hard part.
RE: Second languages - Guardian - September 13th, 2019
Roughly, no.
But, I am using DuoLingo and I've set my PS4 default language to French to try and learn it. So, a little bit there, basic understanding now.
I'd also like to learn Korean afterwards. Right now I only have two phrases...
RE: Second languages - SpookyZalost - September 13th, 2019
I took spanish in school but atm I'm trying to learn latin, german, and japanese, the first two because root languages the latter because... well I want to visit japan some day.
RE: Second languages - Double Knot - February 4th, 2020
I know how to speak some Korean, Japanese, French and Spanish. I can really good at singing in those languages too.
RE: Second languages - Juneberry - February 4th, 2020
I'm not fluent in any besides English, but... I can count insanely high in Japanese (amongst other bits I know)... I took Italian in high school, and I know the tiniest bit of Hebrew that I remember from my prepubescent days.
RE: Second languages - Double Knot - February 4th, 2020
I am also know sign language too plus I can read Mik'Maq and Gaelic since they are part of my history.

Ok, that's awesome!
RE: Second languages - Kyng - June 5th, 2020
Sadly not
. I did study French and Spanish at school; however, I didn't learn either of them to fluency, and I'm very rusty with them anyway. Would be nice to know more; however, I've been struggling to get motivated.
RE: Second languages - Plushy - June 6th, 2020
English is my second language but as you can see in other post I'm not 100% fluent at it. I only took 1 year of French but I forgot everything so no xD
RE: Second languages - tc4me - June 6th, 2020
German is my mother tongue, I speak English very badly, understand, yes, I can speak Italian quite well and some Spanish
