Bilingual?

cowfez · March 6th, 2003

New poster here. I've been reading that some of you think it's gotten rather slow around here, and I've also noticed that quite a few of you type english as a secondary language. So, I was wondering how many of you speak (or type) multiple languages?

I speak only english (unfortunately).

ToM_E · March 6th, 2003

I speak English perfectly! I can write and read
I speak Korean perfectly but can write and read only a little bit.

Hanamichi · March 6th, 2003

I speak and write English good enough for most people to understand, speak Mandarin moderately well but am bad at writing and reading it, am okay at speaking and writing in Malay, and speaks Canthonese, Hakka and Hokkien but not write in them at all. That's English, 4 Chinese languages(which have similar points, thus quite easy to pick up) and Malay.

March 6th, 2003

My native language is Dutch, so I'm expected to be able to speak and write that fluently.
Other languages I can express myself in to a sufficient degree are English and French.

Syed Fawad · March 6th, 2003

I am DAMN fluent in Urdu. I can understand spoken Hindi. I can understand written Arabic. Can speak 2% Arabi.

As you can see, I can type and speak in English as well.

March 6th, 2003

i speak dutch (native language), I also can speak english pretty well, and I can read german well but my skills on speaking/writing it are a bit rusty.

Rhombus · March 6th, 2003

English is my first language. Korean and Japanese follow right behind that. Actually I can't read and write Japanese too well, but speaking is no prob.

I took Spanish in HS and went to Spain for a bit, and at that time I was pretty good at it. I haven't used it in like 5 years now though so I suck, I can only remember some bits here and there.

Mr. Killjoy · March 6th, 2003

I can understand English quite easily, writing it easily too, but talking
is the thing I do quite badly, even in my own language (French)
