What languages can you speak? Practice them here if you want!


camilla(taylor's version) (camillareadings) In Brazil we speak Portuguese, but I think that what everyone doesn't know is that Portuguese is spoken from Brazil itself and not from Portugal, because Portuguese from Portugal changes several things but some think it's the same thing but no!

I speak Marathi, Hindi, English (obvi haha), and i am learning German


camilla(taylor's version) (camillareadings) That's cool, I don't speak fluent English but I understand a lot and I can speak some things, but what I don't understand is when people who speak English speak too fast then I don't understand, but if I listen carefully I understand!

Wow! It’s unbelievable how people can learn so many languages


iamaunicornwithyellowfeet (bookobsessedblob) | 120 comments English is my first language, I’m learning Spanish in school, Urdu because I’m a disappointment to everyone back home and I somehow learnt Turkish from watching Turkish tv shows

camilla(taylor's version) (camillareadings) Wow, that's amazing, I started school early because as it was private I could do whatever language I wanted when I entered there I did English in the third year I did Spanish but then never again, only English until today (at school)


camilla(taylor's version) (camillareadings) Sorry, I'm talking too much...

*·˚elizabeth*·˚ my first language is spanish and i've been learning english since i was little so i would say i'm intermediate upper level probably. i started learning korean by myself 4 months ago! i'm still a beginner but i'm happy of the process i've been able to achieve so far. i've been taking portuguese classes for a while and i'll take a test soon (actually in like 3 months but i'm already nervous lol) to know my level and proficiency in the language. wish me luck :)

Duolingo is great! Especially if you are something like taking a language class at school - It's a great way to practice outside of class and homework!
I'm learning French at school, and sometimes I'll use Duo for a little extra practice <3
