Do you mean languages that can be studied or that you study?

Btw you should add English for foreign members.

I have edited the poll. I study in one of the top French engineering schools (Grandes Écoles) and many languages are available : German, Spanish, Russian, English, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Arab, Portuguese and Swedish.
For instance, I study English, Italian and German.

I study only two languages for now, French and German.

My school has Spanish and French. I take the French, but I'm having a bit of a rough time with it. For me, that language is quite complicated. So to make it more fun, I set the language to Francais in my video games. It actually helps.

I kind of want to chat on the French forums. I got a feeling I wouldn't have a good time though, if I only know this much... I need to learn more, THEN I might check that place out.

I'm learning Norwegian Bookspeech, New Norwegian (a completely useless language ._.), English and French at our school. We get to choose either French, German or Spanish in our eight year. D:
I sometimes set video games to French too, and it does indeed help. I wish you could change the language in the x-box version of R3. ): But French is hard...
I had a test in French today too. I think I failed. :U Oh well, I won't know until Monday.

French is very hard to learn, and you need to practise a lot. I don't find Italian and German especially tough, by the way.

Yes, French is very hard. Doesn't 'des' mean 'of' and 'du' means 'of the'? One word - CONFUSING! Heheh... At least I understand Java, the language used in Indonesia. My mother has an Indonesian friend; so she speaks Java, and eventually I learned it. But.... I can only understand it. I can't spell or speak Java.

I can understand Swedish and Danish.

It's cool.

You mean Javanese, don't you? By the way, if you learn German one day, you'll see that many words are also merged.

Whatever it's called. I never pay attention. I just call it Java for short. That way I don't get mixed up with Japanese and Javanese.

We can study English, German, Italian, Latin, French and Russian in my school.

I study English and Latin...or more precisely, just Latin because I nearly never pay attention on English classes. XD

Nice... I don't really pay attention in my French class either (I have other things in my mind), which is probably the reason why I'm having a rough time with it.

I learned English through Cartoon Network, back when I was little. Since then, the only thing that evolved in me, is my vocabulary. I know nothing about grammar, but use it out of instinct, and it usually works.

That's really cool. ^^ And yes, Cartoon Network really helped me with this gibberish of a language English. (I had no idea what Americans were saying when I was little...

) Of course, I heard people talk English everyday, so that helped out as well.

I learned English at school but also on the internet. However, I only started when I was eleven.

Limely · Post by **Limely** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 9:13 am

I learned basic English at school, and then learned a lot from reading English books and playing games in English and from the internet, of course. Now I am way ahead of most others in my class. We start learning English seven years old, here. : D

Heheh.... That's cool. ^^ When I was little, I tried to speak English, but I just ended up speaking gibberish. And I thought I was doing very well. Turns out I wasn't... XD

Limely · Post by **Limely** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 3:15 pm

I spoke gibberish with my teddy bears. I seemed to think they actually were alive. D:

Now, when I browse trough my older deviations in dA and read their descriptions, from, like, two or three years back, I can see that my English has improved very much. (I can also spot a growing cynicsm, use of sarcasm, less smilies and some maturity-progress, but that's besides the point)

Termonaptir · Post by **Termonaptir** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 11:10 pm

That's good that your English improved... And when I was little, I also did that gibberish thing to my monkey keychain. Heheh... (By the way, I can't really spot sarcasm the best around here.... but I don't take 'offensive' posts seriously, unless I'm mad. Well, in the real world I happen to use sarcasm a lot, so obviously I can spot it. But I just can't tell if something's serious or a joke on the internet.)
