    I wish I hadn't refused to speak Greenlandic when we moved to Denmark :frowning2:

    It'd have been awesome if I could speak Greenlandic :grin:

    English and German (Pretty-fluent). I'm majoring in German and I'm actually thinking about doing a double major in another language.

    ahh but the diffrence is some words means multiple things in some languages.

    like "ball"
    can mean
    bouncy ball
    or prom

    while in hebrew the word for ball
    is ball , bullet , and medicine tablet

    English and French fluently. I can get by in Spanish. I can understand a lot of Italian and German. I taught myself a bit of Nepali so I could be polite when I travelled there.

    ----------

    Google Translate is actually pretty impressive, compared to most of the other ones. The translator widget in Google Wave kinda blew my mind. (But no, it's still not perfect.)

    Google Translate isn't impressive at all in my opinion. The things never make any sense when you translate something from Danish. At all.

    I was born with English, French, Cantonese, Mandarin and Taiwanese...

    while I'm learning Japanese in a serious course

    and Irish Gaelic on-line (doesn't really count cuz I can't really make sentences :S) and hopefully I get into U of Toronto so I can actually take an Irish course...

    and languages like Portuguese Finnish or Dutch in songs (yay Eurovision)

    errm... currently I'm writing my notes in Inuktitut and Cyrillic so I only need to learn the language(s) itself when I get the chance and not how to read and write it ^^
