I have English as my First Dialect and am curently learning German, but i'm not the best at it, a just scraling B grade student.
 
I took four years of high school spanish. Needless to say, I know very little spanish.
 
I'm an English speaker.
They tried to teach me French in secondary school... They failed. :)
 
English first and have been taking French for 4 years in school. I'm pretty good at it too.

Je m'appelle xombine. J'adore halflife2.net

Edit: wow, 3 posts at exact same time :p
 
English, main.
Spanish, 2348957234895623407236423786th.

Seriously, two marking periods worth of teaching and all I can say is: Como estas?

Sad aren't we? :p

I can really only remember the basics of french. Hello, Goodbye, my name is... I like... etc etc

I have a few Japanese friends so I know a tiny bit of Japanese. All those anime's help here too :p
 
I've taken 13 years of french (stupid Canada it is mandatory here), I can speak or write it decently but I am far from french, despite being an A french student.

Why spend that much time learning a language I will never use? If anything I want to learn some Chinese dialect. Hey at least people speak it!
 
esta un fiesta en mi pantalones. that's about all the spanish I've learned, and I'm not even sure if that's right. So, pretty much only english. west, I think. that's american, right? um...
 
I've taken 2 years of French. Lets just put it this way, I didn't understand what xombine said...

I've never taken french in my life and I know what he said

And does anyone else find the poll really confusing?

Yeah, he left out Spanish. Spanish being one of the biggest languages in the world, gg.
 
South/Central American Spanish.

Purgo la tierra de los infieles...

Soy un pato. Jejeje!

Well of course I know what he said, it's just easier (and funnier) than saying 'but I suck at French'.
 
I am 100% fluent in french and english, and accentless in both.
 
How would you say "The monkey is in the tree." in French?
 
I'm not really fluent in Spanish but I can basically understand a conversation that's being said and answer back in English with my friends. Can use essential sayings effectively/without weird hesitation too but it's really required for living here you know? My friend Alberto was laughing at me when I translated an entire phone conversation between his sister and mom into English almost perfectly but couldn't repeat a damn thing in Spanish :p

Learning German in school. Doing very well and it's coming easy, we just go a bit slow in that class for my likes. Got a 105% at semester's end. When you want to do something you do well at it. Haha.
 
I've taken four years of French, and don't remember a goddammed thing except for a few phrases. Enough to make me sound good to those whom don't know any better. D:
 
I had English as my first language, I know some Hungarian, Japanese, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese, only a few words, but I'm sure I know enough Spanish to qualify. Atleast, it got me through Costa Rica
 
I speak english and I can read some Japanese letters but I don't know what the hell they mean.
 
English is my first language and I'm learning German and Japanese.
 
I can speak and write spanish, but when the locals up from the border begin speaking rapidly, mashing their entire sentence into a single vowel and using slang I've never heard before, I get a little lost.
 
English as my main language. Vietnamese at home with my family. I try to speak japanese with my friends, but I suck horribly at it since I've never had any Japanese classes.

The real question is... what language do you think in? I think in english only.

hehe good question, english for me too
 
French is my first language and I've been fooling around with english since I'm 12 years old (school learned). I think my english grammar (whilst it can be suitable) requires improvement for the reason that my syntax sometimes needs improvement.

Well, if it helps, I think you have better grammar than many of the people on this forum, so... :thumbs:

That's because I check over my post every time. The sentences doesn't come up inherently like it would do "frenchly".

Well hell, that's the key. I check on my posts as well before hitting the good old "submit" button. Again, I have to say there's a good reason your posts are more coherent than most.

Well, thank you. I will place this comment in my personal compliment box so I could remember it forever.

You in AZ?
 
Silly poll. Unless you're talking about dialects of Castillian (Spanish), which aren't separate languages as they share a common set of grammar rules, the only 'South American' languages you'll find are indigenous such as Nahuatl and Quechua (the language of the descendants of the Aztecs and Incas respectively). The only differences between South American Spanish and peninsular Spanish are pronunciation and vocabulary (with very few grammatical differences). The same phenomenon can be seen in English from England vs. English from the U.S.A., or even English from England vs. English from Scotland.

I speak English, Spanish and French (in that order of proficiency), but that's not to say I couldn't go to parts of Northern Africa or to most countries in Southern and Central America and understand and be understood by the locals. South American languages should be grouped with Western European languages as 'Brazilian'~Portuguese and 'Argentinian'~Castillian.

And, it's "Le singe est sur la branche"

I only speak English. I've had over 6 years of french in school, the only french I currently know is 'Je suis une poisson rouge!' which is probably spelt wrong and is utterly worthless, unless I need to act insane to escape the French police.
No that's perfect. I am a goldfish.

Crispy, dans is in, sur is on. Like, sur la table is on the table. So wouldnt it be dans?
