Languages! What languages
Languages! What languages (other than English, obviously!) do people here speak? I speak some French, and I'm fluent in Turkish. Just interested...

Cool! I've only flown to Texas by myself. It was fun; Germany sounds much cooler though!!

LUCKY! I've NEVER been across the ocean! What's Germany like? Is it pretty? I would really want to know! Also, is German hard? My grandma is German, and I'm trying to get her to teach me!

No, it's not really that hard. Me and Martia are studying German because we want to go to Vienna and learn from all the great musicians there!!!! But, Japanese is a lot harder. When my mom thinks I'm old enough, she says that I can go and stay with my aunt in Japan for a while!!!!

I know a good chunk of Spanish, a large amount of sign language, a small amount of Dutch, a very small amount of French, an even smaller amount of German (I can count to ten and say "I want a big sausage and a beer" among a few other phrases) and an extremely tiny amount of Italian.
Wow, that was all one sentence!

I know some phrases in Español, and my mom used to be fluent in German, and I can speak double pig Latin! (humelumlumo dumudume) But other than than, nothing else besides English.

I know some spanish (I'm learning it). Some latin, the only word I know though is what earth means. Some french. My aunt speaks rushian or something (She lived in Kanzakastan for a little bit). And I am still learning a little english.

You're learning A LITTLE English? Your English is pretty fluent from what I've seen...

Spanish. And I also like to study the Elvish languages, which JRR Tolkien made up to go with his mythos. Actually, they say he made the languages first and then made up Middle-earth to have somewhere where people spoke them. And yes, there's more than one kind of Elvish. I speak Sindarin, as much as it can be spoken (the pronunciation is easy, but there's lots of words that just don't exist - very frustrating). And yes, "Falmiriel" is Elvish. It means "foam-jewel."

I can speak a lot of French. (My grandma was a French teacher.) You can speak Turkish? Wow!!!

I'm learning French right now. Au revoir!
