Currently learning French as much as possible :awesome:

Other languages which I really want to dip into soon or have already started a bit with: Spanish, Russian, German

Other languages that I'd like to take a go at in the future: Latin, Basque, Arabic (MSA, I really only like it for the endless grammar haha), although really, most languages appeal to me :sexface:

I want to learn Farsi so badly!

I can only say:
Salaam.
Sobh be-xeir.
Esm-e man Vincent ast.
Man diruz beh bazaar raftam.
Xubi?
Mersi, xubam

I don't even know if those are correct. :s-smilie:

They are all correct, well done :smile:

Mee too

I love learning languages! Right now I'm trying to learn a number of them.

Are you currently learning a language?

Share your experience! :biggrin:

Anyone???

I'm effectively fluent in three languages, English, Italian, and Bengali... Grew up in Italy, in a Bengali family, and went to English/American schools so yeah :P They helped.

I was teaching myself Japanese some time ago (out of love towards the otaku world), but I quit since O levels! Hopefully I'll pick it up again after A levels.

Haha back to the old classic days

I know Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi, English, French and a bit of Spanish.

I can do them all with an accent especially when I'm having conversations on the phone to some random guy :P

Top tip:

Have you ever wanted to speak a foreign language fluently?

I did, so I went to Germany and spoke English!

Oh wow

Native Dutch - jealous xD I am learning Italian, yes, but I've still only got basic knowledge. My Swedish is better than my Italian Oo and that's saying something. Out of curiosity, what is Holland like? I've applied for Dutch at Sheffield and have wanted to go there :/ :smile:

Haha, oh well I'm pretty jealous of everyone else on here too with the amazing lang's they know! :smile:

Hmm, Holland is beautiful. Lots of scenery, sea..and I remember the weather always being brilliant there, and obviously amazing people. Wish I could tell you more but I only lived there as a kid :frown:

Ooo, thats great! Good luck with that, hope you get in! :biggrin:

How many languages do you speak?

English fluently, Arabic to second year university standard I'd say, which I think is a good effort considering I'm in my penultimate year of high school and French to IB level.

English, German, Spanish, Arabic, Bengali, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Bahasa Indonesia, Malay.

I do want to learn French, Afrikaans, and maybe something like Thai, just for the sake of it.

I can travel virtually anywhere in the world with the languages I speak. It makes travel so easy.
