I like making new threads about things that we have already talked about in other threads and when I have made one nobody wants to say anything anymore. Some people were talking about Spanish and other languages in the "What are you NOT thankful for" thread and I wanted to say something but people were already talking about the thread subject again...
My favourite language is Swedish, the easiest to learn for me was Italian. I don't like Spanish and I don't know why The next thing I want to learn is Finnish.

All I know is German, and I don't know the whole language, just enough to get around.

I know quite a bit of French, since I took 3 years of it in high school. I speak a bit of German, but I understand way more than I speak. All the Spanish I know is from watching Sesame Street as a kid, taking a Spanish summer school class and doing a Spanish mentorship with a high school student in 2nd grade, and taking a required Spanish class in 7th grade. Most of the Italian I know is from being a musician.
I know, it's a shame that I don't speak a second language fluently. But in the States, many high schools don't require a world language in order to graduate. At least mine didn't. But I took French to get into university, because most universities in my state require at least 2 years of a world language.

I speak my local language, the Indonesian language and English. But Mandarin GETS INTO MY NERVES, for I am not really fluent in it, but everybody here is saying that it will be a world/international language. Ooooooh. That's all I gonna say.

My high school didn't even offered Mandarin. They only offered French and Spanish. In America, people expect you to speak English.

We have French and Spanish in my school- my French is pretty poor and my Spanish is only school Spanish, but I'd like to be fluent in it one day. I know bits of Polish as well, as one of my friends is from Poland.

Yeah I speak Polish fluently, as well as German and Spanish. I used to speak Portuguese too, when I was a kid, but since then unfortunately I unlearned it all, although I still more or less understand it in its written form. I also really like Italian, but I don't speak it. And France and Russia also have amazing writers.

I learned English, French and Italian at school. When I went to another school I thought I would have to do Spanish instead of Italian, so I learned the first two years of Spanish in the summer holidays but then I didn't have to do it. Both schools didn't offer Mandarin officially, but there were courses for the people who want to do it and I try to do some more myself now that I'm not at school anymore, but I don't have much time and when I have some time on languages I often learn Swedish. I want to learn at least 15 languages in my life, though I don't really want to speak them, I only want to know them.
It's funny that so many people here speak German. I can't imagine how it's like to learn that.

Wow, fifteen is a lot. I hope I'd be able to learn at least three.

I'm very good at learning languages, but I don't really like talking, writing is much better. I'm thinking of studying linguistic, but I'm afraid of studying and then being useless and having no work.
