Makaze Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 How many languages do you know? How proficient are you in each language and when did you learn it? English is my native tongue, but I can speak bits (common phrases and general vocabulary) of Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Latin. Technical languages: HTML - Proficient CSS - Proficient JavaScript (including jQuery) - Proficient PHP - Amateur I've learned pieces of each over the years. I can't say when I started. Some time in 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasigat Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Native: German (actually surprised that no other germans are around, or rather, have posted in this thread so far) 8 Years of studying english and i use it pretty much everday on the internet, so i would say that i'm pretty fulent in it(and it was my best subject in my final exams, though it was only an oral exam)However i always have a tab with an online dictionary open for words or phrases i don't konw. I had 5 years of Latin in school and was actally pretty good at translating, but rather slow sometimes if i didn't get the meaning right away and i wanted to do i acuratly and produce german sentences that didn't sound like shit, which lead to some fails in exams becuase of the time limit >.<. But now i don't think i would be able to translate much anymore and tbh i never really felt very safe with latin even though i could handle it. I was in a frensh playing group in kindergarten when i was 4 :DAnd when i visited a friend in a Frensh speaking country i leart to say that i don't speak frensh - in frensh! and well that about all i can say (and "do you want to sleep with me?" after this popular song, and "i love you" durr this i going to get me far in paris, right? ... riiiiight? lolnope) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 English, very fluent, being my native tongue. I'm okay with French, I've lost most of it, I used to be able to hold conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Maaaaaan, I wanna learn Latin so bad. That, German, and French. I gotta learn them before I've died. I was fortunate. Two years after I left high school, presumably our Latin teacher retired or something, but I've heard they cancelled our Latin program at my high school. Glad that happened after and not before I graduated. Technical languages: HTML - Proficient CSS - Proficient JavaScript (including jQuery) - Proficient PHP - Amateur If we want to go there :P HTML/CSS - Proficient (10 and 6 years respectively) Javascript/jQuery - decent, can bullshit by with the docs and programming skills Java - better than JS. Haven't failed college yet so I assume I'm not godawful. C - worse than Java C++ - between Java and C levels of proficiency C# - I can pretend it's java? MIPS asm - rudimentary Edited October 13, 2013 by Ezio Auditore da Firenze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanarkin Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Native: Spanish. I have lost a lot of grammar on it over time though seeing as i only use it with family since i moved to North America. Second: English My proficiency here is not that bad. I have been told my accent is slight and sounds good. Writing is comparable to most people. Although i sometimes do have trouble speaking either language. My reading can be extremely horrible for both too. A not even close to third: Italian. I was learning italian through high school, only went for 2 years, stopped after that because i moved during 10 grade, and my schedule got all fucked up because of it.

Interest Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) English is my native tongue, but I can speak bits (common phrases and general vocabulary) of Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Latin. Technical languages: HTML - Proficient CSS - Proficient JavaScript (including jQuery) - Proficient PHP - Amateur I've learned pieces of each over the years. I can't say when I started. Some time in 2005. Now that's thinking outside of the box. Probably should've mentioned mine but *shrug*. It's not even remotely impressive anyways. Anyways! New question: Now that we've all gone over the languages we know, that raises an interesting followup question: What language(s) do you want to learn/become proficient in? You can choose to identify proficiency in a language to whatever degree you desire. I really want to learn and master Japanese if I go for another language. Any (or maybe all) forms of Chinese would be a plus... Edited October 13, 2013 by Interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Envoy of the Beginning Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Spanish. Like I said in the previous QOTD, I never really caught on that language after high school, but I want to re-learn it sometime later. Also, some programming languages too. Also, in before more people answer "Japanese" Edit: Also, in before "You're a robot, of course you know programming languages" Edited October 13, 2013 by BLS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Odinson Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I want to be industry-veteran-level proficient at the programming languages I use considering this will be my future job Also, I'd like to some day bring my Latin to full proficiency since I'm halfway there anyway For the ones I have only rudimentary to no knowledge of, Italian, Old Norse, Icelandic, Norwegian, and Finnish.

Nightmare Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I'd like to become actually fluent in Arabic. And I guess other things I'd like to reach fluency in would be Italian, Hebrew, Japanese, Latin, German, Russian, Spanish and French. And maybe Ancient Egyptian.
