বাঙ্গালী (Bengali -fluent but illiterate)
Français (beginner)

I want to learn español or العربية and am going to try and self teach myself one of the two as it might become very useful for the kind of job I want to do in the future, but I doubt i'll be able to because I lack motivation :wink:

I think English is a given, but I'm learning German, Icelandic and Latin (although we don't learn to speak Latin). :biggrin:

I don't understand your comment re Mandarin subs. I thought what one says in Mandarin is what one writes (unlike Cantonese) or am I mistaken? If so, Mandarin subs don't exist?

Young HK-ers are amazing being tri-lingual, though their spoken English is still accented. How well do you know HK?

What I meant was mandarin subs and cantonese subs are used in Hong Kong. Well Cantonese and Mandarin is a different language all the together. Mandarin subs do exist.

Well i travel there alot (well since I was a young up until now - I usually visit HK every 2 years) but I always think I only just scratched the surface.

My first language was French but I can barely speak that now.
English (Native) Punjabi (Fluent) Hindi (Basic) German (Basic - GCSE) Spanish (Intermediate) and the smallest amount of Italian and Latin lol.

I would love to be able to expand my Italian and German, and I really want to lean Arabic!!

One day I hope to learn another. Judging how French went though, it doesn't look great. :s-smilie:

English - native
Irish - was C1ish but it's deteriorated through lack of use and probably slipped back to B2. I'll be doing some work on it over the summer to bring it up again and intend to be much more conscientious about it in the future :ashamed2:

French - B1/B2
German - A2 (CEFR not A level)
Biblical Hebrew - GCSE
Latin - A level
Greek - A level
hoping to start on sanskrit, aramaic, spanish and russian this summer :pierre:

English (native) and Spanish (Intermediate-A2) are the ones I'd say I can speak.

I can understand French (GCSE - went to France with some friends and I was the one who did the speaking and we managed well). I want to get back into French at some point though.

How does the Swedish language sound to a Norwegian?

swedish sounds kind of feminine compared to norwegian. haha, hard to explain. but swedish is at least the most beautiful scandinavian language.
