gr33n3y3z replied: english and some spanish words

paradisemommy replied: well, i took about 3 or 4 years of spanish in high school and was fluent - went away to a foreign language camp 2 years in a row where we could only speak the language we were there for but also had to learn conversational french and german so we could speak to the other students. BUT..that was about 18 years ago..egad..so i'm a little rusty but can still understand a lot.

i also speak conversational japanese (took a course in college) and of course my native - taiwanese but only a few words here and there that we were taught growing up..oh and since i've been here in hawaii for almost 10 years...i've been learning hawaiian too (along with taven) smile.gif

maestra replied: I speak English (of course) and fluent Spanish. rolling_smile.gif I also know a few words in Italian.

Josie83 replied: Well my parents are both Italian but when we were growing up they refused to speak much Italian to us, they wanted us to grow up with English as a first language huh.gif . I used to eb grateful for that but now I wish that they had spoken to me in Italian, i think its good to be bilingual. I can understand most Italian and speak a bit but can't really write or read it. blush.gif My dad now talks to Cassie almost exclusively in Italian so she is hopefully going to be bilingual xx

A&A'smommy replied: OKay well I was born in Germany and I was VERY fluent in the language but after we moved I didn't have anyone to speak that language to so I forgot all of it but then of course I was two lol then when 15 I learned sign language and I was really good at that my friend and I got into a lot of trouble at church LOL emlaugh.gif

sjerul replied: wow that you all have time to even learn... well ok in school.. but still remmeber the other languages.. parts of it.. pretty cool.. i speak allot of languages partly since we had every single one in school .. ugh.. i speak dutch witch should be my best one but in dutch i suck.. i speak english cause my stepdad is english.. i even think in english most of the time. i also speak german, a little bit of french and taking spanish classes at the moment cause i want to go open a buisness in or spain or mexico .. depending on where my friend wants to go.. then i got an italian uncle but all i know is to say hi and bye in that .. i love speaking different languages.... smile.gif

elvisfan replied: Mostly just English. I can speak some French. I took 5yrs of it and used to be pretty good at it but I haven't practiced in almost 7yrs so I've lost some of it.

favre4fan replied: Sprechen sie deutsch? I lived in Germany for about 6 years and Nolan was born over their. I can hardly remember to speak it now!!

A&A'smommy replied:
Where are you from? lol I know that they have to learn almost all languages in Germany, do they do that everywhere? that is REALLY cool! thumb.gif

MomofJandB replied:
My DH's cousin and his wife did this for both their kids! She spoke Italian and he spoke English. Both kids, now 8 and 6, know both languages great! I always thought it would confuse them, but it didn't!

As for me, English is it! I did take 3 years of French in High School, but don't think I remember a thing!!!

3_call_me_mama replied: I can fluently speak , english, french, ASL (american sign language) and understand some german (thanks to our exchange student last year) and A lot of spanish thanks to Dora! (what would we do without her?!)

tweety replied: english, some spanish, and very little ASL.

Josie83 replied:
Yeah it is quite cool. Cassie doesn't get confused actually, she sometimes says Italian words to me but not very often, and I can understand them anywhere. Its so cute when she says "Ciao mama!" wub.gif wub.gif wub.gif xx

party-of-six replied: in addition to english, I speak toddler.
