| Formerly Muzzy Full Member   Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Some people Location: Illinois Age: 21 Posts: 3,817 Join Date: Oct 2007 | Re: Languages? I can speak English and some German. I wouldn't know if I'd say that I was bilingual because my German isn't the best. I'm good at it, but wouldn't say that I'm completely fluent.

| Now with a capital F! Full Member   Gender: Female Orientation: Bisexual Out Status: Most, sans Dad Location: England Age: 16 Posts: 1,742 Join Date: May 2011 | Re: Languages? Ich bin ähnlich Muzzy; ich spreche toll Englisch (es ist meine ersten Sprache) und ein bisschen auf Deutsch. Ich lernen auch Spanisch. Ich habe Deutsch für drei Jahre (eins oder zwei Stunden pro Woche) gelernt, und jetzt bin ich auf ein Deutsch-Englisch Austausch. Meine Austauschschülerin, Julie, ist sehr gut um Englisch. Sie hat es für fünf Jahre gelernt, und hat mehr Englischklassen pro Woche als mir!

I speak English as my native tongue. I have studied German extensively though fluency is not a word I'd use (I don't get to practice it much anymore). I did spend some time in Germany (specifically West Germany...it was before the reunification back in the stone age  ).In college I also studied both Latin and Ancient Greek. I just recently started learning French. (Comment ça va?  ) |

Location: Northern California, United States Age: 20 Posts: 2,380 Join Date: Jul 2008 | Re: Languages? I can carry a conversation in English, American SL, and French. I know basic things in several major European languages. I really want to be able to at least carry a conversation in Arabic, Spanish, Dari/Farsi, at least one East Asian language (I'm thinking Indonesian), and a couple more SLs. I also know a lot of religious Greek, Latin, and Arabic.
