I'm Spanish and I'm learning English and French. I'm planning to learn German and Japanese too, but I haven't started yet.

I like Esperanto too, but I can't speak it.

Do you like artificial languages?
Have you ever tried to learn or made up a new language?

Learned Espanol in me escuela de preparatoria. Learning Japanese, I know the symbols for ah, ee, oo, eh and oh in hiragana.

I don't see the point in learning a made up language, it doesn't have any appeal to me.

I can speak English and Korean, with passable French and Japanese.

I probably shouldn't say "speak" as I can read and write much better than speak them.

I'm learning French but I'm horrible at it.

I knew a bit of Spanish but I've forgotten most of it. I failed the class last year and didn't want to take it again.

I can speak a good bit of French. I also know a smattering of Croat, and like, 2 phrases in Gaelic and Armenian.

I want to learn Finnish, but that is proving to be difficult. Other than that, I tried looking into making my own language for a lore I want to create, but it's so complicated and i don't understand half of what I need to do.

I'm English, learning Spanish, and I know a few Japanese and Swedish terms.

You wouldn't believe how many Swedish people I meet online @-@

I know a tiny sampling of Japanese. Just a tiny sampling. Not enough to hold a conversation with... just random words mostly.

I bet mostly everyone in here who said Japanese only said so because of shitty anime.

I know little bit of Norwegian, want to learn German, need to learn Spanish(so I can understand my mother and half my family), and sadly I need to learn Japanese(stupid future may head there).

vI wasnt talking to you.

Looks sheepish and apologetic. Gomen Nasai. Please treat me kindly.

My native tongue is English. I know a little spanish ( I can understand it more than I can speak). I want to learn Russian because I love the language and the culture. I pretty much have to learn it because my boyfriends family only speaks russian (like his parents, aunts, uncles, etc.) his brothers speak english but they like to speak in russian to my boyfriend and I wanna know what those faggots are saying.

without getting into specifics of it, that would be nearly impossible with how many idiot there are in our tribe.
