What languages do you speak?

[lilan castel]

Thanks! Yes, I considered it twice or so. As in university I had a fellow student who studied it and found it quite challenging as it depends on who is speaking and whom you are speaking to, the letters change, due to their position in the sentence (beginning, middle or end). We practiced a bit and the pronounciation was a bit tricky^^

Maybe when I am good in Korean and Polsih, I will consider learning it then! Do you still study it?

I do!

 

[Wuselding]

I do!

How do you like it? Do you think it is difficult to learn? There are so many dialects and so on, or not?

It isn't that hard. I can remember the dialects. But my first language is Hebrew so it might matter

I’m interested to know what languages you all speak. I’ll go first: I speak English, Hindi, and a small bit of Spanish

I speak English and Vietnamese! I wanna learn Spanish or Hebrew one day though.

Ah! When you will learn hebrew you can send me sentences and I'll check them!

[Gilleafrey]

English (American) and French (Canadienne and Parisienne, with some bits and pieces from the languedoc, from singing old music)
I played in a French clan for a few years in the game Vikings! but hadn't thought of playing Stardew in French until someone mentioned giving it a try in Spanish; sounds like fun, and I think I will—thanks for the suggestion!

Cool! It is useful to know many languages

 

[Jibb The Kid]

I primarily know, and speak, English. I've been in the process of learning Norwegian on and off, so I can read and understand some of it too.

 

[DJModulo]

My native language is German, I would also consider myself fluent in English.

I also learned Latin during school, but forgot most of it; and learned to write Hebrew (I essentially have no vocabulary though).

 

[PorkChop]

Native English, learning Italian

 

[Mystical Junimo]

English and Chinese

 

[Miretar]

English, German and a smattering of French.

 

[Laissez_Faire_Farming]

English (fluent)
French (fluent)
Korean (elementary/ know how to read but bad in grammar and poor in vocabulary)
Can read German (elementary/ know grammar but poor in vocabulary)

I understand Spanish (in my ears for a weird reason)
Studied Latin (dead language but still useful) – memorized gladiator's Cesar speech text to get As...

Frenglish <---- Does it count?
Korenglish <---- that too??

*goes crazy / *brains explodes
Being a polyglot is a curse because there are too many things to learn...I thought I have millions of souls...

My mother tongue is Finnish, I am fluent in English and Swedish and relatively fluent (can read literature, speaking "tourist level") German and French. Those languages I had at school.
I studied Ancient Near East, meaning Arabic, and a bunch of dead Semitic languages (Sumerian,Akkadian, Biblical Hebrew, Aramaic), some Latin and Classic Greek. Never learned Arabic so well I could actually use it, unfortunately (it is beautiful and rich language).I can read it, but slowly (Hebrew script goes a bit better and I took also some courses in Modern Hebrew
Then odds and ends on the way: Italian, Spanish and Portuguese on the tourist level, can read Cyrillic script but don't know Russian besides a few words (I worked making spellers for some Turcic languages -- written in Cyrillic!). Basic courses in umpteen languages, sadly mostly forgotten...
(and then I'm making fantasy languages, just as there were not enough of real ones in the world... )

Are you a theologian student? Do you study Bible?

 

[Quirinea]

Are you a theologian student? Do you study Bible?

Nope, (this is long ago, BTW, I've later switched to Computer Science and ), my main subject was Assyriology (cuneiform studies). I read a lot of Hebrew Bible "for laziness". I had "Semitic languages, general" as a side subject, and you could partly choose how much and what.Oh well. Bible. Several good translations available, specialized dictionaries that were not horribly expensive (as they were mass-produced for Theology students who then tried to read Hebrew from left to right (that was a running joke in the Dept. of Asian and African Studies)), so I could buy a dictionary and did not have to sit in the library.

You have an interesting background. That sounds like too much studying for one degree.
