24 lessons of Japanese or any language for that matter can hardly constitute as understanding it.

Why did you think I quit? XD


Ontopic: How can they force me to be bilingual anyways?

I'd probably learn spanish, so when the American currency fails and we adopt the Amero, I can barter for oranges and tacos.

I know a lot of languages but I'm not good enough at them where I can have a random conversation.
I'd want to know Chinese (so my relatives dont think im a fool),
Japanese, Italian, French (to sound super cool)
and Spanish (omgz wut r they laughin about!? - arizona is full of mexicansXD)

I know Korean, Spanish, and English. I would probably like to learn Portugese and Greek.

I know Spanish, Portuguese, a bit of French and English.

I think i'd like to learn Italian and German. Or if possible a combination of both- I want to sound mobster and angry at the same time.

I would like to learn to write japanese and to be able to read all the japanese letters etc...

To sum it up, you can speak 4 languages.

I can currently speak Swedish and English as I've forgotten most of the German I've learnt.

I'd like to learn Finnish, (to honor my home lolol), Japanese and Korean.

I master English and Spanish.

Know some French

I probably know 15 languages if you count the languages I know 2 words of. And I'll count all the dialects too.

If I count the languages I understand and not just speak I already know about 7 or 8.... I can actually only have conversations in English and French though.

Dude, I actually really know these languages.

I've had 3 years french, 3 years greek, 3 years latin, 4 years german, over 6 years english, Farsi (persian) is the language my whole family speaks and I moved to the netherlands when I was 5, so...

The only language that might not be in that list, is japanese.

Some people pick up languages faster then others, I know a guy who grew up in an English speaking family who lived most of his life in a French speaking community and still cannot speak a full sentence of French.
