Does anyone here know a second language?

**Silver_Knight** · 10-11-2012

I've been wanting all my life to learn Russian and mandarin language. I wanted to know how hard it is and does anyone speak another language! I heard English was the hardest language to learn so the others should be easier,right?

**itachi73378** · 10-11-2012

Yup.
Urdu/Hindi is my first language followed by English.
I can read Arabic (can't understand it though, weird I know)

I thinks its awesome when people have 3 or more languages

**Blacksite** · 10-11-2012

I can speak a little Russian. I should learn more but I'm just so used to English.

**-Kwesnoth-** · 10-11-2012

English is my first. German is my second, and Spanish is a work in progress. lol

German was quite easy to learn, but I have relatives that speak it, so I learned from them.

**Fijiandoce** · 10-11-2012

English
Fijian
French

i used to be able to put on an amazing french accent also... not so much anymore, i've had no use for it. in fact, im sure my french is hella rusty

**DreDayDetox** · 10-11-2012

Well I know my first language fluently, Romanian, though I completely lost that fresh off the boat accent, which I'm glad I did, because I can't stand it when someone has it and has been speaking English for over 10 years just fine. I really wanna learn Japanese and German though.

While you don't 'speak' it but I am learning american sign language. It's not too hard so far and it's really cool actually. People make a lot of assumptions about ASL most of which are wrong

**Kuro** · 10-11-2012

Yeah I speak Khmer,Some japanese(WIP) I really should know more since I am part of it. Some Korean. Some spanish too since my nephew and niece are part puerto rican their dad was just teaching me a few things here and there and of course english.

**Silver_Knight** · 10-11-2012

Wow you guys really make me feel bad. I only know English.

**Shibby** · 10-11-2012

Polish.

and whatever Spanish I picked up in those high school classes that I may or may not still remember.

**Kuro** · 10-11-2012

Remembering what word goes to what is a bitch! Lol cuz some words use the same word and can mean different things. Especially the word "I" so many ways to say that.

**Ghost-Rhayne** · 10-11-2012

English, german and a LITTLE russian.

Conjugating verbs was a bitch too. So many with their own special cases that don't follow any set standards.

I have a good buddy that's been to like 20 different countries on practically every continent..he's picked up language from a lot. Told me that the hardest thing is most people have a form of slang to each language making it hard to be really fluent unless you live there extended periods...don't know if true but makes sense.

Yeah that. I just tend to use the formal way of saying such things. I always get scolded from my grandmother when I use the wrong word when I really meant it to go the other way.

20 countries huh Damn..Yeah there is slang just like how you would compare southern,northern,and western accents in sense. So to speak.

**DarkVincent07** · 10-11-2012

Just English, a LITTLE LITTLE Italian, and I'd love to learn Japanese. Mainly for gaming, but also holiday purposes.

**imINxile** · 10-11-2012

Yeah the guys been to China, Japan, Thailand, Germany, England, Brazil....tons of places. A freakin nomad! Honestly I can respect anyone who speaks more than one language. Most people can't even talk or write their own properly. Lol.

**spyrde** · 10-11-2012

Finnish is my first language.
English is very strong because I went to an international school in Warsaw for 7 years as a kid.
Swedish has to be learned by everyone here.
French is something I picked up in school.

**Naxi** · 10-11-2012

Estonian is my native language. English and swedish were picked up when I lived in the US and Sweden. Russian, spanish and french have been school-taught.
