What languages do you speak besides english? which one you wanna learn?

[TheBerserker]

I thought this thread could be interesting, so I gave it a try, cuz we'll know what languages ppl know here and what they wanna learn...

I'ma start...besides english I can speak perfect spanish, I know a lil bit of japanese and german...and I wanna learn mandarin and also try to improve my japanese and german...

what about you guys??

[in xs]

i can speak english is all i can speak,haha and at that im not tha best at haha
id like to speak spainish!

[Lady Di]

I think French is very, very sexy. I would like to learn that language as well as more Spanish. I know a weeeeee bit. Other than those two, nothing else picks my curiosity.

I do know how to comprehend (to some degree), read (very well), partly speak, and write patois. Pronounced pahtwah or pawtwah - this is a Carribean dialect.

[Ro$$hi]

I cant speak any language....i tried learning italian in high school sucked at it...so i took it as a sign to never attempt another language :)

[TheBerserker]

Konichiwa ^o^

haha Rosshi you should try an easy language...like arabian...or russian...;)
haha nah just kiddin...maybe some ppl don't do well when speaking another language...and I perfectly understand you...

hey Di...where is patois spoken? like Haiti or something in the caribbean? pah-twah...pah-twah...pah-twah...sounds kinda cool :P and what can you say in spanish?? like mi nombre es...or hola and adios? the easy things?? :P

well auf wiedersehen for now then...

[Ro$$hi]

is russian and arabic easy??? never knew that.. but its not like i dont want to learn another language...the fact that i have to learn means i have to do something and im just plain assed lazy :)

[TheBerserker]

haha those languages are really hard...lots and lots of letters to remember and know how to do them...so, definitely not easy languages...you didn't get my sarcasm :P but why don't you learn spanish or a language you might like? you just gotta have determination...

[Lady Di]

Roshan - lazy azzzzzz!! (laughs very hard). Just what the hecks aren't you lazy about? What happened to your Hip/Hop n R&B posts?? Got lazy, eh? (rolls eyes laughing)

Daniel - Jamaica mostly because the dialect changes a bit when you get to Trinidad, Haiti and other Carribean places. Each country could understand one another to a degree but each one uses different words as well as some same.

'Likkle more' means see you again, uhmmmmm... 'mek dem no' means to make someone understand. 'Wah Gwaan' (what's going on) is like greeting someone', 'Irie' is cool, 'Mudda', 'Fadda', 'Sistren', 'Bredren' - the family. 'Pickney' is kids, It kinda is a broken English but they do have distinct words that are not in the English dictionary. www.jamaicans.com, read their message board, It will have you cross eyed.

In Spanish (did I say I could type it - heeeeheeeeheeee) here goes.... mi casa es su casa - my house is your house, mi llamo es Diana - My name is...., mundo or is that mondo is world (uhh ohhh), numeros - unos, dos (sp?? for two), tres, quatro, cinqo, sies (sp? for 6), siete, ocho, nueve, diaz.

And one for laughs - Yo quero Taco Bell. AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAA!!


Well the end and that hurt. I know a weeeee bit more but trust me, I think that reads bad enough right there, don't you? (spits juice laughing)

[TheBerserker]

oh...I thought it was spoken in haiti....=)...but it sounds cool

and your spanish is good...you need more practice though...cuz it looks more like italian than spanish lol...if you want me I can teach you some things ;)

[Lady Di]

Hey, I took Spanish 101 twice I was so bad off. Over here where I am right now, lotta ricans, lotta hispanics. I hear it everyday.

I am not sure if other Caribbean countries call their dialect 'patois' or not but I do know I could speak some to a Trini and he understood what I said.

Oh, did you see the pics I sent you on SHAGGY being in your country? You like?

[Ro$$hi]

yeah well i would keep posting them but im always working...and when im not working im playing need for speed carbon or sleeping :P so yeah ..il post more...eventually. off subject for two seconds...di ...did u know u have a character in NFS carbon...Lady Dee spelt differntly but yeah....ur in one of the drift events...hahaah :p ur famous!

[Lady Di]

I feel ya on the sleeping bit. (yawn... stretches)

Anyhow, to keep more off topic... that's another nick of mine as well. Lady Dee, Lady Di, Lady DeeDee, Lady DiDi, D, Dee, Di... and some more we won't mention. I had for years personalized tags on my carzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Yeah, I had a few b/c I got bored. DEE was one part of the tag name. Might get'em again one day who knows. Ya rent your car's perosnalized tags here for $120+ per 3 yrs I think it is.

I have owned a Subaru Legacy 2 x's, Mitsu Eclipse, GTO, Pontiac T1000, Mitsu Tredia, and an Acura TL. My Dad used to get us used/new cars when the one we were driving fell apart (for some unknown mysterious reasons?!?!? laughs). When I got 19, I was trading new cars in faster than dealers could blink. Almost every two yrs up till 2000/1. That was the Ack (TL) and I really wanted to keep that one. :(

[TheBerserker]

yup I saw the pics...it was pretty cool :D he even spoke in spanish (I think)

keeping the offtopic --- hey Rosshi I haven't played NFS Carbon yet...I'm trying to get a PS2 cuz I don't have one...but I sure have played NFSU 1 and 2 and most wanted...and those are sick!! loved them!! but how is carbon like?? one of my friends told me it was a mix of NFSU2 and MW...is it true??? man!! can't wait to get my hands on a PS2 tomorrow :P

[Ro$$hi]

Umm ill start a new topic bout NFS:p..... instead of goin on in here...back to languages

yo know wat would b a bloody hard language to learn....old hebrew...well i think anyway..but then again i think everything is hard :p

[Lady Di]

I think all languages are hard to learn except Patois and Spanish. :p

[TheBerserker]

hey rosshi about that other language you said...isn't that the language that is spoken in the passion of the Christ?? if so, it surely is hard to learn...

and Di...spanish is one of the hardest languages to learn, I saw that on a documentary thing...and english is one of the easiest ;)

[LR2]

I can speak finish,english,swedish,same (a lil' bit)
But the language I really would like to learn..is SWAHILI..hah..always in my mind :)

[LR2]

Umm..uhh..whooooooops! I didn't read that whole thread carefully..
I said english too,but please forgive me,I'm tired..:o

[Lady Di]

Daniel - yeah I hear/read that our native tongue is easy too. I think it is acronyms and synonyms that mess people up ,,ost. There/Their, Hear/Here... you get the point.

LR2 - in your country what do you speak? How easy was it to learn those languages that you know? I agree, Swahili sounds like it would be fun to take on.

[LR2]

Lady,in our country I speak finish and lil' bit same language.
It's easy to learn those other languages if I do my homework..hahahaha LOL.
English was easy to me..and swedish as well,(or maybe swedish was easier in the beginning..ehh :o ).

But Swahili was my original language..so I really want to learn that..

[Lady Di]

Ohhhh I see LR2. Where you born in a country where Swahili is spoken, if not too personal? If so, where actually? So you know Swedish as well? Are Finish (as in Finland residents, yes) and Swedish (as in Sweden residents, yes?) similiar? You have one more educational notch above me. I've always been told that if you can learn at least one more language than your own, your portfolio looks a wee bit better.

[LR2]

Yes Lady,I was born in Africa,Kenya..and Sweden is my neighbourhood country.Yes, finish are as in Finland residents and swedish are as Sweden residents.Hahaha,but you can catch me eventhough my portfolio looks a lil' bit better, you should just study different kind of languages if you can...

If you start now,you are gettin better and better year by year ya know??And swedish is required language in finish schools,so..can't help it anyway,like it or not.

[Lady Di]

Oooooooh, but is Finish required as well? So you have to have two languages no matter? Very good, I say. I thought Sweden and Finland were near each other, my brain's geography map was a bit tilted. :p You seem to understand English very good. EXCELLENT!!

Kenya - lemme see.... I think SHAGGY was there too. I think I have photos from there as well. If I recall tight I have a contact there who just put my site on the African map when SHAGGY visited. It was awesome to travel that far without leaving home. And one of our travel channels did a Kenya visit... man it was breathtaking. I think the Prime Minister owns a heard of sheep?? Or close animal?!?! And he went into the wild with huge lions that scared me to death - this was TV OK? Laughs.

I hope I have the right Kenyan info as I am starving. We shall chat on this more later. Take care.

BTW - we shall see on that learning of another language. :D

[Ro$$hi]

TheBerserker - yeah i think it is in passion of the christ...cos its from around that time period so i think ur right. but yeah it does seem hard to learn aye haha guess it aint one for me in that case:p

[Da MasterMind]

What's crackinlackin' ..

well, beside da English i kno 2 of ma mother lang which are Tigrye and Tigriynia (both are african languages) and Turkish and Arabic and i start with the Spanish

Russian and German are on my future plans

Peace Out

[Lady Di]

Da Mastermind - Are your "mother langs" hard to learn? Are you from African originally - as in birth place, if not too much to ask. Turkish and Arabic too, woah! Arabic seems really difficult. I can read Spanish and speak it as I read it very well. But actually knowing what I am saying... some words, yes... some no.

[LR2]

Yeah,finish is my mother tongue which we study in school,like english is to you,Lady.Yeah and I've got to languages to learn no matter what,or actually three if I'm takin' english too..
Well I have to admit that even my geography is tilted as well,but only sometimes,ehehe..and don't be so sure about my english,'cause I keep reading,searching etc. some words of my english dictionary,so..ehehee :o
Hahaha,Prime Minister..what a story,lions can be dangerous..but I love 'em no matter what.Lions are cute and cool,specially baby-lions :D

Oh and yeah,I really want to go..Kenya againg someday,it's just the money what is the problem now,but keep on dreamin'.I have swahili dictionary in my shelf,but haven't touched that yet..

[Ro$$hi]

how on earth do u ppl learn sdo many languages and not get confused half the time:| thats crazy!!!

[TheBerserker]

I'm confused.....

[Lady Di]

AAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA Ro$$hi. For me it is all in a mtter of wanting to communicate. I can not stand being around say a group of people who speak their tongue and I not know what is being said. SHAGGY's people talk faster b/c they know I try to listen, laughs!! They know I can't understand them when they speed the tongue up. Grrrr.......

LR2 - you are doing exceptionally well with English to me. Keep up the most excellent learning of it. I have two Spanish dictionaries on my shelf that have so much dust on them... well, you can't see the titles. (no laugh nor lie)

Daniel - you're cute!!

[Da MasterMind]

Lady Di - yup ma mother languages are hard to learn .. beside i cant tell yall how i learn all that cause i'll write ma life story hehe ..

[Lady Di]
