  2. C'est cool! D'où êtes-vous, au fait? Le français m'a aidé en apprendre l'espagnol et l'italien. Tellement une belle langue, vous êtes d'accord?

    One of my best friends is Greek and I may have him teach it to me in the future. Where in Greece? He's from Kalamata.

    Chevere! Me aprendi español en escuela por 4 años y porque uno de mis mejores amigos es venezolano, por lo tanto tengo oportunidades en hablando a el y su familia ahora y entonces. Pero, puedo entender gentos de España sólo fino.

    Cherokee?! That's awesome!! How are you fluent in this language? Never met a person who speaks that!

    I can understand Portuguese in the written form and when it's spoken slowly.

    Native Dutch speaker, near fluent in English, proficient in German and Spanish, basic knowledge of French. I want to learn a bit of Russian some day, cause the Cyrillic script is awesome.

    Can speak English like a native, and Mandarin Chinese fluently. Have learned French and Japanese in high school and college, respectively, but can't speak either (I'm definitely better at reading those languages).

    Native English speaker. Fluent in Spanish and will be mastering French next.

    However, on a side note, I do study mythology and the names of virtually every culture/language one at a time to gather information for my stories/characters/novels so I am quite aware of these languages, just havent put all the pieces together.

    I'm a native speaker of Finnish and Turkish. I'm fluent in English, and to a lesser extent in Swedish and German.

    (Dang 15 minute limit ran out before I was done editing.)

    Anyway, I was going to say that I know at least a few words and phrases in each of the following languages: Russian, Swedish (and Danish/Norwegian to the extent the three are similar), German, Arabic, Italian, and Spanish. Of these, I'd like to gain fluency in Italian first and foremost, with Swedish coming second.
