Post Languages
After a long msn chat conversation with many people from the board we decided to see what languages people speak. We were having such a fun time trying to speak in other languages that this is how this came out this way.

Please only select languages that you actually speak

I speak English if you haven't figured that out yet lol. I also can speak some French but I haven't took classes in it for a year.

I didn't vote for these, but I know some Japanese and Spanish not enough to speak them though.

Ahhhhh!!! Image!!!!!

There, I added Dutch just for you! I know it must have been an involuntary oversight by Louis. The fact is that since you understand, speak and write English so well, we just view you as an English speaker!

No, surprises here, Image I'm proficient in both English and Spanish!

That was a huge ball of confusion for me when I came to live here in the mainland seven years ago.

The English that is taught (and learned) in Puerto Rico is so different than what is spoken here. I just learned to ask people outright what was it that they we saying, or they meant.

I have gotten a lot better but I still stumble into phrases and words which would be incorrectly used back home.

Simple examples:

Q: How are you?
A in US: Good
A in PR: Fine, thank you

Q: Did he eat?
A in US: He has not eat
A in PR: He has not eaten

Phrases like;
"This is broke," instead of "This is broken."
"I have not drank this before" instead of "I have not drunk this before."

Not to mention the worst of them all; when people say; "anyways"
grammatically, no matter how it is used the correct form is "anyway" without the "s" at the end.

and like these there are tons....

Pretty much the same as Arya.

Our first language was Urdu....but then once we started going to school for the first time we completely dropped it. And we learned English.

Now we can still speak it, just a little hard at times to remember words and phrases that we once spoke so fluently...

Weird how that works, eh?

My Jabbu name Jabbu is Jabbu Jabbi Jabbu! (Accent on the 'i' in Jabbi)

Honestly, Aang... that is not proper Jabbu! Learn the language first before you brag about it. [-( I'm ashamed to call you a fellow Jabbu-speaker.

I think the hardest language to speak is French. I really can't get the accent. Spanish isn't that bad, but French... lol I'm horrible at it.

I'm sorry, mastress Jabbu, I will do as you say from now on.

I have to agree with you on that one. Plus it's hard to pick up on cognates when you listen to people speak French, because the accent sometimes confuses me.

What on earth is ska? Is it short for something?

It's funny, I can understand Hindi almost perfectly, but there's no way I can speak it. It's like the words don't come to me for some reason.

No its just Ska. Some kid my cousin knows came up with it. You just take away the first letter of a word and add sk to the beginning.

Personally I don't like speaking with people that I have learned french in a french from france accent environment. First of all in most cases they have a hard time to understand the accents that come from the other versions of french. This can become quite enowing when you try to speak to them and you understand them and they don't understand you.

Over time I had to adapt and develop a system where I now automatically change my accent without realising it if the person does not understand me. Sometimes I find myself quite funny, because I may start responding with a similar accent which I have never employed before :lol:

I'm pretty sure they speak it in South Africa... I read this book where the story happens in South Africa and that's what they spoke all the time there.

For me, French wasn't that hard but it was kinda hard to get the correct pronunciations, and phlegm...*shudders*...

I can kinda speak Hindi, but more of Urdu. I can totally understand them, but speaking is kinda difficult; the accents are tough. I can also kinda speak Spanish, just basic stuff. I can read Arabic, understand bits and parts of it, but can't speak it for my life. :D

Cool. I know like, maybe 30 signs in British sign language lol, I have a bad memory. German words are actually pretty easy to learn, but the grammar kills, especially word order and sending verbs to the end and argh it hurts.

Yeah it's really confusing, especially in the past tense. Like, if you wanted to say "I played football" It would literally translate as "I have football played".

It isn't that hard if you know how to speak it...I guess.....:lol: :lol:

Honestly, though, I can't speak it that well....so many words that I once knew, but now I totally blank on them. See, Hindi was my first language...but when my sister and I started going to school, we first learned English and then forgot Hindi XD So now, I can speak part of what I once knew fluently.

I can't read Hindi, though. I can read Arabic, but I can't speak it XD I'm such a mixed up person, aren't I? :P

Luckily you have wise guides like Brom and Saphira to show you the way.
