Being bilingual/multilingual?

<p>English is my native language, I’m advanced in Spanish, though quite quite fluent, and I can carry a simple conversation in German.</p>

<p>first 10 yrs of my life I spoke chinese
then from age 10-present i picked up english and im pretty good at it.</p>

<p>If i talk to international students, they would just think im an international cuz my chinese is so darn good :slight_smile: and my white pals think i was born in the US, cuz my english doesn’t really chinese accent in it. So i’m pretty glad that im good in both languages :)</p>

<p>I speak four languages: English (completely fluent), Spanish (completely fluent), French (understand it, but don’t speak it well), and Haitian Creole (only slightly understand it…). :)</p>

<p>buuuuuuuuumppp ^^ !!</p>

<p>This thread is impressive. I consider myself almost bilingual: Fluent in English and pretty good in Spanish.</p>

<p>English, Russian, Spanish, Kazakh and Uzbek :)</p>

<p>Ooh what an interesting thread :slight_smile: Unfortunately I’m only fluent in English. I know a decent amount of Spanish but my high school’s Spanish teachers are not up to par at all. I took a Mandarin class online for a little bit but I can only say a few words and phrases. I really want to learn Arabic and French. I think it’s sad that the latter isn’t even offered at my school… :confused: I’m also a hopeful Linguistics major. haha</p>

<p>webass, are you from Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan??</p>

<p>If from Kazakhstan, were you offended by Borat?</p>

<p>English and the ability to understand Bengali and Hindi (my parents are immigrants from West Bengal, India). Plus I know some French from class. So pretty multilingual?</p>

<p>I speak hebrew (fluent) and english (fluent ) I can talk some Japanese.I want to master Japanese and maybe Spanish.</p>

<p>My native language is Bulgarian, I’m fluent in English and I’m comfortable with Spanish and Russian, too. I’m planning to pick up French in college and study Italian on my own.</p>

<p>Other than English, which is my native language, I can speak fluent Hawaiian (my late mom was from Hawaii), Spanish (my paternal grandfather is Spanish) and Hebrew (I’m not Jewish, but I’ve always loved the Hebrew language, so I studied this in my own time). I took French at school, but wouldn’t say I’m fluent, rather somewhere between intermediate and advanced. I can also get by in German and Italian (studied basics in grades 6-8).</p>

<p>As I dream of being a journalist one day, I’m keen to learn as many languages as possible, as I think it will be beneficial.</p>

<p>

Uzbekistan.
Hahaha, I use Borat’s quotes all the time here in America.</p>

<p>I currently speak three languages, but I am going to learn another three over the next 16 months.</p>

<p>I speak: English, Bangla, and Spanish</p>

<p>I am going to add: German, Portuguese, and French</p>
