Wow... I wish I could say that. I can for English:rollseyes and Arabic (read, write and converse very basically). And Urdu- conversing only. How can you read Urdu? It's impossible! Can't do it without harakaat (as you have in Arabic).

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.

I speak 5 languages ----> Bravanese, Swahili, English, am little ok with Somali and Arabic and am trying to learn Japanese and Spanish :)
 
I really do envy all of you. I am sad to say I only speak my native language and even then not so good :D. I do wish that the American education system really pushed foreign language especially in the youth. I would love to be multi-lingual.

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.
 
I speak 2 different languages. I am perfect in both English and Farsi. However, I cannot read or write in Farsi.

I am fairly good in French.

But, I really want to learn Arabic. Such a beautiful language...

Slowly but surely mastering Arabic though Alhamdulillah.

Insha'Allah kheir.

I really envy people living in multilingual countries.
 
Well i speak urdu & english fluently..
