So, 2 because I'm still learning how to speak Mandarin

French is my native language, English is my second language. I'm also willing to learn new languages, for an example, I'm learning Spanish and I have to learn Portuguese for my Brazil trip next year (:
Indonesian, English and a bit of Chinese (very very little chinese >.<)
From strongest to weakest:
English, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese
English, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese
Yo, don't call Welsh dead, keep it alive instead. I fucking hate when languages die because of people thinking it'd be convenient not to teach it to their children because they "won't need" it in the long run.rhiload wrote:
English and welsh (some dead language)

it is teached all around the country. it is not a dead language so to say. but its definitely overshadowed by the more dominant English language. its more of a "local" language so to say. im fine with it as long as it still has a mark on wales.Lewder wrote:

Indonesian. English @ School sometimes when I'm bored or something. Japanese @ Home when I'm angry or something.
Yeah but I mean kids will never learn to be fluent in it at school, I for an example speak Swedish as a heavy lingual minority in Finland and I will teach my adopted child(ren) Swedish if I happen to raise them with a Finnish speaker and Finnish if I happen to raise them with a Swedish speaker. If I was in your position and my potential children were both to be raised to Welsh parents who speak both Welsh and English I would have one parent speak Welsh to the children and the other one speak English, until they've reached the age of around 5 at which point they've developed most of their lingual fluency (they say children learn languages the fastest around the ages 2-3) and then switch to what feels most convenient. But that's just me who loves languages and culture and wants to keep them alive, Idunno.rhiload wrote:

English and some Japanese.
I know very very very basic German and French.
I doubt most of the people claiming to be able to speak Japanese fully are actually able to do so at a decent level.

I meant Swedish, but that also answers my question. Where did you learn Swedish then? I'm curious to know.Otsutsuki wrote:

I'm fluent, it's my first language. I was just curious as it's a very uncommon combination of languages to know, especially for someone living in the US.Otsutsuki wrote:
