Including your native tongue, how many languages do you speak well enough to read a newspaper or have a conversation with another person in that language?
(Please consider multiple dialects of the same language that can be mutually understood as one language, whereas those that cannot be mutually understood -- such as Cantonese and Mandarin -- count as two languages.)

I just speak 2: English and Spanish. But I hope to make it 3 by summer; I'm working hard on Turkish for a trip to Turkey to visit my daughter. I can also read Koine Greek, but nobody actually speaks it anymore.

Wow! Admirable. I like it how other people can speak "dead" languages, but wouldn't have the patience or motivation to learn one myself.

I hope you'll make it to visit your daugther! It's also easier when people around you speak just that language and you have no other choice than to learn it. But these days quite a lot of people know enough English, especially in Turkey?

Urdu I dont think has any harakaat, ever. Unless it's a book for children and does? No idea, but when you're taught it you're taught without the harakaat so you get used to it. I think *scratches head* unless I'm mistaking it for Arabic.

But I know that when you're learning a language from scratch, the harakaat are vital. Like when doing arabic at uni, I could only read some workds without the harakaat. Can only read urdu because I'm used to it.

Yeah that was the point I was trying to say, that Urdu has no harakaat, so that's why on some of the words I find it really hard.

truest me it's not that fun when you speak different languages in your dreams. People find it quite annoying. I move to us not that far ago and they aren't that bad. some of the children channels do try to teach Chinese <- i think thats how you spell it. As well as Mexican, they are doing far better than some of the Scandinavian counties.

romani and english fluently

i can have a basic conversation in french and in spanish. but not enough to be able to get around well. though i can read a newspaper in french because there are so many cognates that using context clues it is easy to see what it is about.

example:
La fin du casting

Entre tractations de dernière minute et arbitrage de Sarkozy, l'UMP a enfin annoncé ses listes pour les européennes
then i know that "fin" means "end" and "et" means and, "de" of, etc.

it is basically saying that the UMP(whatever that is) has made a list for something. i still dont know what it is about but i know a little more than i would if it was written in spanish or some other language.

Swedish and English I speak the same good. Then I can also speak French, German and Spanish. After that just a little Russian and Latin too, but Latin you don't speak very normally just in poems and similar things. Then I can also understand Danish and Norwegian since they are so similar to Swedish.

MasAllah!! You're so lucky. Allah,spw, chose Arabic for us.

Here we go:

I'm not asking so that you translate Al-Fatiha directly word for word. I just want to know the words used in it.

Allhamdulillah means Praise be to Allah

Hi ?

Rabbil?

Alemin means Lord of the worlds.

Ar- Rahman

Ar?

Rahman means merciful

i? does i mean and?

Rahim? benefacent?

Malik means owner or king?

Estoy empezando a conseguir la caída de españoles. Hay palabras que reconocibles (que parecen similares - por ejemplo, "diferente" suena / mira por igual :)).

Entonces, ¿Cómo se diferencian con los elementos? Como sé, padre, hijo, tío. etc. suena 'masculina'. y la madre, la hija y su tía sonidos "hembra".


Pero en cuanto a los elementos que supongo que es diferente? Al igual que "él, ella, ello"

Hahahaha de verdad. Yo no sé. Para mí es natural entonces no pienso cuando hablo. [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24][emoji28][emoji28][emoji28]

La mayoría del tiempo. Cuando termina en (a) es femenina. Cuando termina en (o) y (e) es masculino. Por ejemplo.

El hijo. El padre. La madre. La hija. [emoji5]
El carro. La camioneta.

La plata. El dinero. El oro, el diamante. Los (masculino) diamantes.

Ella quiere salir a la casa de la amiga.
Ellos quieren salir (masculino plural)
Ellas quieren salir (femenino plural)
Él quiere salir.

El español cambia depende en donde estés y con quién hablas. Unas cosas son iguales. Como la ortografía básica. Pero el resto dependen de la gente.

¿Puede usted realmente me entiende? Es terrible la gramática? ¿Cómo es una estructura de la oración?

In English it is:

The dog is very hungry. [noun] [verb] [adverb] [adjective]

A major benefit is being able to switch languages when you do not want anyone to catch your conversation. I have put this to use so many times on public transport or in a waiting room somewhere when people just love to eavesdrop on what you are saying on the phone. :D

:salam:

If I may have your permission, I will try to use google translate to translate this post into:

French:

Un avantage majeur est d'être capable de changer de langue quand vous ne voulez pas que quelqu'un pour attraper votre conversation. J'ai mis cela à utiliser tant de fois sur les transports en commun ou dans une salle d'attente quelque part quand les gens aiment juste pour espionner ce que vous dites sur le téléphone.

Spanish:

Una ventaja importante es ser capaz de cambiar de idioma cuando no quiere que nadie para tomar su conversación. He puesto esto para usar tantas veces en el transporte público o en una sala de espera en algún lugar cuando la gente les encanta escuchar a escondidas lo que está diciendo en el teléfono.

Italian:

Uno dei principali vantaggi è la possibilità di passare da una lingua quando non si vuole a chiunque di prendere la conversazione. Ho messo questo per usare tante volte sui mezzi pubblici o in una sala d'attesa da qualche parte quando la gente solo l'amore per origliare quello che stai dicendo al telefono.

German:

Ein großer Vorteil ist die Möglichkeit, die Sprache zu wechseln, wenn Sie jemand nicht wollen, das Gespräch zu fangen. Ich habe dies so viele Male mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln oder in einem Wartezimmer irgendwo zum Einsatz, wenn die Leute nur die Liebe auf zu belauschen, was Sie am Telefon sagen.
Here goes!

That is quite interesting actually, I suppose you can really the similarities, despite the differences, between many languages, in terms of grammar and vocabulary, with things like this.

As someone who is completely ignorant of the basics of any of these languages, French is the most similar and as for the German, I cannot understand a word. :D

The funny things with languages. I remember waiting for the bus a while ago in the summer and I had on my abaya. A Spanish family looks at me all weird, I know they're Spanish because they talk. Then the mother says to the son, "Espero que nunca te cases con algo así" translated into "I hope that I never see you marry something like that". I smile, then I turn to the little boy inside of the mother's carriage, she gives me that "smile" thinking I did not know what they were saying and I said to the little boy "Tan lindo el bebe" translated into "How beautiful the baby" and I walk away....

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatu allahi wa barakatuhu !!

* Moroccan Arabic -read , write, converse.
* Arabic- read , write (a bit ) , converse ( a bit ) .
* Spanish read , write , and converse . I live in Spain .
* Bereber - I just know how to converse because it's like a forgotten language . And its a language that is spoken in the Atlas of Morocco ( RIF) . I've learnt it because my dad and mum speak it and that's how I no .
* English- read , write , converse ( I'm still learning. That's one of the reasons I've joined the forum alhamdulillah and inshallah I'll improve my English ) .

Would love to learn Hebrew ( i think it's similar to Arabic ? ) and Malaysian inshallah but by now I have no idea .

Pashto (fluent)
Urdu (fluent)
English ( i can speak in it with Americans/english people but have to resort to uhm, ahem every once in a while )
Arabic (can recite Holy Quran but that's about it)

My language skills suck, i can understand science in a matter of minutes but learning new language is the most difficult task for me. I really wish to learn arabic so i could read Holy Quran without resorting to translations.

-I only know English fluently (along with Jamaican Patois, though this is just a dialect of English).
-I'm currently learning French (I can read it much better than I can speak it, and my listening comprehension skills needs a lot of work).
-I plan on learning Spanish, Hebrew, and Mandarin Chinese...eventually.
