Original Alear Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 English, and a very insignificant amount of Latin and French. I SUCK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashpoint_1230 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I'd very much like to learn Greek, actually. I complained to my Latin teacher that there were no Greek classes. Quite honestly, he'd be qualified to teach Greek too. Ha ha! My school is offering a Greek class for all of those smart kids who already completed AP Latin and have nothing better to do. That does not include me. I'll have enough trouble trying to complete AP Latin, most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have enough trouble trying to complete AP Latin, most likely. DO WANT. I could've probably done AP Latin last year to get it at the expense of any possible free time. AP Latin is... tons of works. An raeging at Vergil for making -is endings accusative. DAMN YOU VERGIL. And all those neuters. GAH NEUTERS.

Thor Odinson Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Yeah, he did. We were going over the cases for each word, and those damned -is's always get me. Seriously, it can be ANYTHING. from nominative to ablative. It's worse than the fourth declension -us. Watch out for -a's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashpoint_1230 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Ugh. Well, We've learned all of the noun endings for all declensions, but I'm guessing that our Latin teacher is waiting to tell us about the major deviations for 4th/5th until later. Either that, or he told us already and I just wasn't paying attention... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 5th is quite regular. 4th is just... TOO MANY DAMN u's. You never know when -us is nominative s/p, genitive, or accusative plural/(neuter singular). And then once in a while, happened once, I think, that Vergil put in a dative ending with -u instead of -ui. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEST TRYNDAMERE PLAYER Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Fun fact about Latin: "See" in Latin is the same way you'd say "See" in Croatian, which should be "Vidi" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Technically Vidi is "I saw", in the perfect tense but... That's pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IGdood Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Interesting, I'm the only Cantonese speaker on the forums? Seems like Mandarin/Cantonese has been generalized into mere "Chinese" nowadays. Skitarii is not pleased. Anyways... Location: California Languages known: English, Cantonese, Mandarin Experience English: Being born in the US....I think I don't need to comment. Cantonese: Funny, unlike most American-born Chinese I know, I don't speak English outside of school. So my Cantonese is pretty much on the very fluent level.... Mandarin: I've had about 9-10 years of Saturday Chinese school, where I learned how to speak Mandarin and read/write Chinese characters. Unfortunately there isn't much of a chance for me to use Mandarin very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aleph Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Sometimes I wonder if I even know English. I speak quite a bit of assembly and object oriented fluff. Oh you meant natural languages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmartRutter7 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Sometimes I wonder if I even know English. I speak quite a bit of assembly and object oriented fluff. Oh you meant natural languages every time there's a 'what languages you speak' topic in any forum, eventually, someone always goes ahead and mentions programming languages. XD Well while we're at it, I speak English (obviously), some Spanish I learned from high school, a -very- minimal amount of japanese, and maybe a few random words in a bunch of other languages. Oh and also... ## Computer languages known = ["BASIC", "some GCS's that use a syntax similar to BASIC", "HTML", "CSS", "some PHP", "Javascript", "mIRC scripting", "Python", "C++"] print "As for computer languages, I know: " for lang in known: print lang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Interesting, I'm the only Cantonese speaker on the forums? ...I could probably fool a particularly thick-headed non-Cantonese or Mandarin speaker into thinking I speak Cantonese? I dunno, I like the language but it's virtually guaranteed I'll never learn to speak it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you might be able to pull it off. And yeah...I don't see any Cantonese schools around here. It's all Mandarin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xiltas Crysten Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 @Kev: I can only guess, did you mean "Ich spreche ziemlich gut Deutsch"? Because that sentence makes hardly any sense. What did you want to say in English? Maybe you guessed from this, I'm a native german speaker. Also, I speak English, a bit Latin (some pieces left from two years of school lessons) and French, though I absolutely hate the last one.
