Languages

[Martial_Artist]

I'm fluent in Spanish, English, Tagalog, and Ilocano.

Spanish is my first language.

I went to school in the US, so that's why I'm fluent in English.

I spent several years in the Philippines where I learned Tagalog and Ilocano.

I speak Spanish, English, Tagalog, and Ilocano daily. Sometimes it can get very crazy. I'll be speaking tagalog to a tagalog speaker, then I'll turn to speak to a spanish speaker and say something in tagalog, but be thinking in spanish. Or I'll be speaking to an english speaker and say something in spanish, not knowing I said anything in spanish, or tagalog, or ilocano.

I'm fine if I can speak one language at a time. It's when I'm translating all four of them at once. Not speaking all four, but translating all four. Crazy stuff.

English

My native language is American English. Ugh. They butchered it. But that's besides the point.

I'm in Spanish III at school, so I speak a fair amount of that, but it's much easier to listen than to speak.

I am learning to speak Japanese at the dojo. Sort of. The terminology, at least, I'm learning. Not much else, though I would like to learn the full language.

I speak English, Spanish, and a good amount of French! Languages are one of my very favourite subjects! I'll be learning Hungarian next year as well! It's one of the most difficult (if not THE most difficult) languages to learn.

[JKN Dean]

I think Finnish is THE hardest language to learn. I tried,... and failed.

But in addition to English and Spanish, I know:

four high level computer programming languages

(C, Basic, Pascal, Fortran),

six IEC 61131 Industrial Controller languages

(Instruction List, Structured Text, Ladder Diagram, Function Block Diagram, Sequential Function Chart, Flow Chart language),

and at least 4 more low level microprocessor/microcontroller languages! Do those count?

Hey Iceman,

Isn't Dutch very similar to German?

Well, many words look alike... but it's stil a bit different.
