Why and where did you learn Turkish? That´s interesting.

I speak English, Turkish and German fluently. I used to speak French fluently but have forgotten it almost completely. I still understand basic French and can still communicate a bit, so I guess it´s only a matter of months and a bit of dedication to be able to speak a bit French again.

I can read and understand Dutch but can´t speak or understand spoken Dutch.

I would love to learn Spanish, and maybe Japanese but only if I had to live in Japan for a while.

If I had an Italian girlfriend I´d learn Italian.

So you read & write English, but can't speak it?

Do you understand the difference between speaking and writing? smile

fishslap Funny.

Yes...but I guess I have a hard time comprehending this because anytime I try to read/write another language, the first thing I do is try to sound out the words and make associations.

So, for example, I can write phrases such as "C'est la vie", "Auf Wiedersehen" or "Kamsahamnida" and know how to pronounce them (even though I don't know French, German or Korean).

But if I could read and write in those languages, I assume that I could pronounce what I was writing, ergo "speak" those languages.

Does that make ANY sense??? confuse

Ottensen

English

German

or rather a weird hybrid of these two languages I've nicknamed "Denglish" (Deutsch + English)

When on a work assignment some Italian.

at church every Sunday (with a congregation reprsented by 60 different countries), you can throw in Spanish and some new-fangled terribly mangled broken Potuguese and Japanese. lol

On a daily basis I use polish, but I try to do my best to practise english every single day. The org is one of the places I visit to do so and I can say it's really helpful wink (btw, english being my non-native language is sooo fascinating to me, it's not like learning anymore - understanding more and more makes me so excited, my biggest dream is to become fluent one day and all I can say is that I truly LOVE the language <3 ). And one more thing: u guys who use english on a daily basis seem to underrate the beauty of it, especially those living in the states; if I could speak english with a pure american accent, i'd be the luckiest girl on earth *.*

I also used to learn French for 4 years or so, but now I can hardly remember anything ;_; But the moment I start my college in October, I'll star learning it again, promise!

I could also say something about german but I guess it's not necessary as I can't speak it at all, even though I was learning the language for 3 years... -.-

Oh, and my friend from Korea once taught me how to introduce myself in her language - sooo cool, one day I'll master that one as well! biggrin
