Opposite of EdAvila. My native language is English. But, I speak enough Spanish to get directions, food, etc...in the Cuban Areas of Miami.
I read Spanish alot better than I speak it. My dad's entire immediate family (father, mother, grandmother, brothers) are/were natively fluent as they spent 12 years in Vieques (Puerto Rico). My mom's family are semi-fluent as they did alot of (Pre-Castro) trade with Cuba. My Grandmother visited Havana under Machado and again with my mother under Batista. I still have a little ways to go before I will be fluent. |

Thanks to all who've responded. I'm just curious - it's been my general observation that people who speak more than one language seem to be more level headed, well rounded, and open minded, as a result of their exposure to other cultures. (Shameless self plug!)[:D] BTW, I speak English (native), Spanish fluently (learned in Argentina), and a few helpful words, phrases, and epithets in probably five or six other languages. The Army wants to teach me Arabic - that would make me so much more *USEFUL* to them . . .

Let see, I can speak and understand French. I was force to learn that language because of my high school girlfriend. I can only translate Japanese verbally. My current job requires me to understand all the dirty words that my Japanese bosses think I can't translate when they try to insult me.

I learned French in high school. I struggled with it a bit (lost some interest in it).
I taught myself German and was VERY, VERY good at it. For some reason it came natural. I guess partly because I had a German girlfriend for a while and was so interested. Now, since I haven't used either one for a while I have forgotten a lot. Still remember some German but not much and have almost forgotten French except for the commonly used words and phrases. |

What's my native language? Hmmm...depends on where I am, I guess. OK, English, because I haven't been to Germany in a few years (childhood back and forth betw. Ger and US; Ger. schools, university, work), so my German's not as up to date as I'd like. (Trotzdem, 'nen schoenen Gruss an alle, vor allem, an Kar98k, Hannah_Reitsch, sudetenland- fehlt uns noch jemand?)
Had years of French in school and university, it's OK, but never use it (German I use every day). Also used to speak passable Italian and Swedish. (Italian GF in Germany years ago- she and her friends thought it great fun to teach me Italian... Swedish I had to learn for my Germanistik degree.) Swedish is a fascinating language to learn, and when you drive along in Sweden, a truly BEAUTIFUL land, if you've learned the old runic alphabets, you can read the numerous runestones everywhere. Of course, when one speaks Swedish to a Swede, they invariably reply to you, in impeccable English, "You speak excellent Swedish- what part of the US are you from?"[rolleyes][:D] Also, man mailt sich.... |
