Parlez-vous Francais?

[Cleopatra]

Do you know more than one language?

Are you fluent in reading, writing, and speaking in more than one?
(that doesn't include curses!!)

What language that you know is the most challenging?


For me, I'm fluent in English, and semi-fluent in French. I can find the bathroom and the bus in Spanish, and I can count to 10 in Czech. I think French is most difficult, but only because that's my only non-native language I've really put a lot of effort into studying.

 

[mig]

I can order a beer in 37 languages.

What more do you need?.

 

[Nora]

I can converse on a child-like level in French. Well, plus some lovely curses. And most things food related. I can read it on a slightly higher level.

I can speak enough Spanish to be cordial with people, to find a bathroom (as long as they point while giving the directions) and to know when I'm being called something I'd be upset over.

I can speak just enough Hebrew to get me in trouble and to read it without understanding a single word that I've read (with Hebrew, that's actually saying a lot! LOL).


Edited to add: And Hebrew is by far the most challenging for me.

Good point! Once you relate on the beer-level, all things are equal. Thanks mig.

Thanks Nora. I also could use the pointing as help, no matter which language it is. And the phrase, "Slower, please" when trying to decode a sentence.

Thanks Shingen! I'm pretty sure this answers my question, but it also brings up a great point - babblefish is very helpful in cases like these!!

 

[k¡tty]

English is my secondary language.



Hillbilly is my first. ;-)








I had 2 years of French and can speak very little but I can pick apart some words when I read it. Someone taught me just a bit of Dutch awhile back.

Thanks kitty! I was thinking of putting "American" as what I speak - or even "Philly" - I'm amazed someone hasn't point out the difference yet.

 

[Wolf_Song]

Do you know more than one language?

Oui, je parlez francais, ablais espanol unt spieken ze deutschen, with having dabbled lightly in latin and several other languages.

Are you fluent in reading, writing, and speaking in more than one?
(that doesn't include curses!!)

Was semi-fluent in French and German with picking up a bit of spanish and latin. Though havent used the first two in years with the last ones happening due to circumstance.

What language that you know is the most challenging?

Latin, as only experienced it briefly with curiousities of celtic and asian languages making them noteworthy in this as well.

For me, I'm fluent in English, and semi-fluent in French. I can find the bathroom and the bus in Spanish, and I can count to 10 in Czech. I think French is most difficult, but only because that's my only non-native language I've really put a lot of effort into studying.

 

[Ms_Lilith]

I'm fluent in English, semi-fluent in French, and I'm learning Ancient Greek.

I can say 'I love you' in 10 languages, I can understand German and Dutch (for the most part), though I don't speak either. I can count to 10 in spanish, and when I went to Italy, I held my own rather well.

Re: Re: Parlez-vous Francais?

Oui, je parlez francais

mais non, je PARLE fraincais.

Parlez is the word conjugated for you, plural, or you, polite.

 

[Liontamr]

I only know English.. And of course key hockey phrases in French.

And I have been known to say "gracias" many times.

 

[Lost Cause]

The only important language..

English, the international business language learned by virtually every industrialized nation on earth. I know a little French, like, "Piss on ze Amercans!" and can go without a bath for a week, so I could blend in well with the indigenious folk.*


*I'm in a pissed off mood at the moment...

 

[Coolville]

oui, moi je parle francais.

I would say I speak 7 languages and a smattering of others.
speaking and reading is one thing, writing is quite another. always most difficult to write in a foreign language.

but then you don't go around writing notes to people when travelling... you speak with them...

oh, and Lost Cause... ALL languages are important. Regardless of what mood you're in...

 

[Rex1960]

lol vous avez raison. J'aime ecouter mes amis en parlent le finlandais, c'est comme le "babytalk". C'est presque impossible a apprendre parce qu'il n ya pas de langue de base en commun avec les autres (comme hongrois).

Ou a tu appris ton francais?

wow! chanceux! C'est la meilleur facon d'apprendre une langue, avec les gens qui le parle. J'ai appris mon francais ici a l'ecole mais la plupart de mon francais j'ai appris de les autres en parlent. J'aimerais apprendre l'espanol en espagne ou de trouver des amis ici qui viennent de Mexique ou un autre pays dans l'amerique de sud.

Tu ecrit bien le francais!! Et tu americain? Je viens de Montreal, c'est pourquoi j'ai appris mon francais en parlent. J'ai beaucoup d'occasion a practiquer!
