[Emiri Neko]

My native tongue is English, but I'm currently learning French. But I want to learn Japanese. Or Italian or Korean.

 

[ACMILAN1983]

English is my mother tongue, but I'm pretty fluent in Gujarati

I started learning a little Japanese by myself last year, but didn't have time to keep it up. Hopefully will learn it in the future

 

[~mimi~]

Just like Rukia san, my mother language is Arabic but my English is fine.
I know a bit Japanese but still I can't compose complete long sentences ^^''.

 

[IdinITE]

well, i'm a chinese, but somehow i cant really talk, i only can write good. weird right? must be my english accent ruining all my nouns when i speak mandrin (chinese)

jap i can hear, but cant talk, as i will mix everything up XD

oh yeah, considering i come from malaysia, i lived 9 years of learning bahasa melayu...another 2 years to go~! (but my bahasa melayu aint good, cant score in my papers hehe )

 

[goatz]

My first languages are French and Cantonese, and then English seeped in readily, now i'm really really slowly learning Japanese lol.

 

[emperor]

My native language is Mandarin Chinese, i can speak and write chinese very well. (Maybe better than people who live in China~~ kidding lah)
I also can speak Cantonese and a bit of Hakka (A dialect of Southern China).
As Malaysian, I am able to speak Malay but not very fluent. And my English also ok, only has some local slangs (people named it Manglish/ Malaysian English).....

Now, learning Japanese and Korean although it really hard for me.

[PrincessXSparkles]

I would like to know what you consider to be your native language or any other language you speak as fluently. In my case, I would say both French and English.

Moi aussi! Etes vous francais? Il n'y a pas beaucoup francofones ici XD Je suis pas francaise, mais j'espere T_________T; Je veux pas etre Americaine

Sorry everyone else! I'm American but I was raised in a French household, so I speak both pretty fluently. I'm also learning Spanish, but I don't know so much! So don't start speaking to me in Spanish, I won't understand

 

[Tsuki_x]

My mother is fluent in Japanese and Mandarin. I however am only fluent in English. I forgot a lot of the Japanese I once knew as a small child when I moved to America.

 

[JerseyBoy]

After reading 10 pages on this thread quickly, it is amazing there are so many people from different cultural backgrounds on this forum. In my case, I speak the vanila mix of Japanese and American English. I had to do some catch up on my mother tongue Japanese after I graduated a university in NY as I have not spoken it during my college years. My job here in the states brought back my Japanese-ness as I have been hired by Japanese companies operating in the states. I can type faster in English as I majored in Journalism for the first 2 years of my college life. Now, I am comfortable in both languages, English and Japanese.

 

[Gaijinian]

English...
My Japanese is pretty good, and next year I'll be going to Taiwan for a year, so I'll probably be able to speak good Mandarin...but I might forget Japanese...

>窶愿ｺ窶怒ﾅ津ｪ窶堙??ﾃ伉坂?佛津ｪ窶堋ｪ窶｢ﾃ冷?ｹﾂｭ窶堋ｵ窶堙??堋｢窶堙懌?堋ｷﾂ。ﾅ?ﾃｦ窶卍｣窶堙≫?堙?。
Your sig says you want corrections, so:
窶堙ｰ, not 窶堋ｪ. When you say ﾅ?ﾃｦ窶卍｣窶堙≫?堙? are you referring to your self? If so, should an 窶堋｢窶堙懌?堋ｷﾂ ﾂ（ﾅ?ﾃｦ窶卍｣窶堙≫?堙??堋｢窶堙懌?堋ｷﾂ） ﾂ。Maybe add a ﾅｽ窶樞?堙 just to clear things up (before "Nihongo").

 

[Asp]

Wich is Swedish...
I do also speak rather good English(in very many different accents)
Then I know some words in the following languages: Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Spanish, French, German, Latin and Finnish

 

[Da Monstar]

[トラちゃん1]

[-rika- shinya`]

[トラちゃん1]

Mother tongue: Danish

Swedish
Norwegian
English
Spanish
German
Can Understand:
a little french(I can understand most of it when people talk or write it, but cant make any sentences myself)
A few Japanese words (only about 20)

I envy those who speak many languages. I hear that many European languages are similar in sentance structure and grammar so it makes them easy to learn?

 

[mikichan]

im learning japanese, and i want to learn cantonese although ill prob have to wait till university.
i know a TINY bit of italian, and a smaller bit of romanian ... i dont think it counts as knowing a language though ...

 

[figliedellatempesta]

I speak English as my first language, and I'm relatively competent in French, although not as good as I'd like to be.. but I can get by. I also know some Italian, and can understand a bit of German and Spanish. Just recently started learning Japanese, which I'm obviously not great at yet.
