Giulianzo's Plato’s Academy of Florence and the Confraternity of the Magi discussion

What languages can you speak?

I can speak English, Pig Latin (igpay atinlay), Italian (l'italiano), a little Ancient Egyptian (I call it Khemetic) and a tiny bit of German (Deutsch).

I speak Armenian, French, English, I'm learning Spanish and I know a little bit of Italian

I speak English.

English; a little Spanish, Italian, and German; quite a bit of Japanese (because I had to take three years of it in elementary school); some French, I'm learning more. :)

I speak English, Hindi and Marathi languages.

Cool! One of my friends speaks like 20 dialects of Hindi. I don't believe her, but when she starts listing then off...

Indeed, that could very well be true. One of India's Prime Minister, P. V. Narasimha Rao, could speak in 17 different languages.

Cool!!

English, French, Spanish, Arabic and now I'm learning Korean

My family and I travel a lot. I'm 13 and so far I've been to 6 different middle schools! :-[

English, Spanish, and a tiny bit of French

I love how in French, it's spelled 'oui' but it's pronounced 'wi' - what's up with that?!

Wouldn't you rather say 'oui oui' instead of 'wi wi'?

English and Spanish. I'm not good at writing in Spanish, though.

I love writing in Italian :) sometimes when I don't know how to spell a word in English I accidentally write it in Italian :)

Wow! I'm planning to learn French as a third one, but I don't know if I should take Italian instead.

I think Italian is easier to pronounce and stuff, but there are like 7 ways to say 'the' and they each have a different use, but otherwise it's pretty easy :)

Thanks for the info!

I take French in school and I think that once you learn a few general rules for pronunciation, it definitely gets a bit easier. Conjugating verbs can be tricky, though, and to an English-speaker, masculine and feminine nouns are tough, too. But I suppose that's to be expected with most foreign languages.

I had to take three years of Japanese in elementary school, and I found that pronunciations and grammar weren't too difficult. Learning to wrote the characters, though, was difficult.

Best part about Italian - all feminine end in a and all masculine end in o.

Ahhh... Typically, in French feminine ends in e and masculine doesn't, but there are exceptions.

Yeah, in Italian there are some weird ones that come from Latin. Like 'la mano' even though Mano is masculine and la is feminine.

english and a little bit of spanish
