foreign language skills

Rewolf: c'est Homer_
Homer_: oui mon ami
Rewolf: ca va?
Homer_: ca va bien, et toi?
Rewolf: ca va bien aussi
Rewolf: that is my french for today, cant do better then this:P

s1LENT: Je m'appelle silent
s1LENT: j' habite au allemagne
s1LENT: epic, thats all i know after 2 years of french at school :D

Not only those made a conclusion that most of people can't speak foreign language fluently, except english ( even that not always). Who to blame? Education or students? How good you are at 3rd language (2 for UK'lers)? How long have you learned it?

i speak pretty good english,french,dutch and german
FAKE LOGS!!!!!!!!!!!

I have learned English,Latin,French,Spanish, and my native languages are German,Polish

Well and tbh the only ones i can speak fluently are German,Polish and English

I do not rly blame the education,although some teachers are really bad. The main problem is that you just forget a lot if u aint used to speak the language every day.
For example i stopped to learn french 3 years ago, and i can hardly remember anything.
Understanding foreign texts isnt that hard though!
Im able 2 safe myself in Norwegian :D
russian, able to read and write i guess, though i would need a dictonary for most words xD
that doesnt count! :[
Parent
So it is ok to be ignorant if you are from UK? :)

My 3rd language is Sweden and it is "ok", I can have some small talk with it, get service in stores etc, though my vocabulary isn´t that good because I don´t really use it that much. And I can manage little bit with Germany too, but only to get me started and politely ask to switch on english.
Well basically u'll learn it if u want and got interest towards the language.
Can you read this?

olet homo

Sweden Swedish is compulsory here yet hardly anyone can speak it properly
and what they teach us isnt even close to what they speak in sweden
Parent
Hehe, its just that I never really was into French at high school! :D

Besides that, I can talk Dutch and English good/perfect (as far as that goes) and I reckon myself as being decent in German (better in speaking then writing though)
c'est homer means It is homer?

Anyway my english is good. My german is OK. I can speak more japanese then french.

Domo arrigato
ohajoooooo
Parent
i studied french 6 years ago and didn't follow it anymore and i don't remember shit tbh ;/

italian i'm still quite ok with it though :D (thx to TV)
English + native language is far enough for now.
In 20 years : English + Chinese + native language
120 years : English + Chinese
350 years : Chinese.
then we can build a tower and touch god
Parent

ive had french in school for like 4 years, but well.... my dutch is better, even though ive enver had it in school :D
I've learned SwedenSwedish & GermanyYerman for liek 100 years now and I fail in both o/
english... i've learned german and russian and still don't understand shit (especially russian)
because you dont want to :O
russian i mean
Parent
common there should be enough occasions to speak russian in estonia :p
Parent
didn't understand
Parent
edited, i should read through my texts before posting them -.-'
Parent
i was taught french in school till one year ago and i fucking suck in it :)
i can speak english, german, dutch, slovenian, finnish, swedish, norwegian, japanese, serbian
My English sux cause i lack vocabulary, and my spanish is zeroer than zero, i can't even make a proper sentence in spanish (but i can understand basic words cause they are pretty much the same in french), and i learned 80% of both on internet so it would have been better for me to sleep more rather than going on school learning nothing
Jeg snakker ikke norsk!
english is prodest, russian is normal
english and croatian on decent level :XD
i learnt french for like 3 years. While my speaking/sentence making skills are low at max i can somewhat understand written text (tho vocabulary is an issue there, my grammar is ok i guess).
And i know 2 dutch sentences!
russian, german, english
german/english only
well, i only learned english and latin (which is quite usless) in school.
gonna learn spanish and maybe later something else when i'm going to study though.
ich bin ein berliner
That's wishful thinking! :d
Parent
i speak polish quite good...
my french gets worse everyday I don't speak it

english is ok for conersations and stuff

looking forward to learning russian and practicing french again

my german (native language) is quite good i'd say
Latvian as a native, English (write & speak), German (some understanding), Russian (speaking & understanding), now learning Estonian.

And education can't be blamed, since it's more important if that language is needed for work or any other future plans (if the person those plans take seriously) ...

Since there are a lot of pidars like dunno around here (generally in whole Baltic States) who can't learn a shit in all his life (atleast not the language wich is used in country where he lives) - I've managed to prove that I'm > he atleast with languages and simply learned it in around one year just by reading in Latvia aviable magazines etc. :)

Expecting to learn Estonian in ~1-2 years also and then to learn Lithuanian.
only know finnish and saami, a bit of english ofc! sadjásažžan lea váldojuvvon juridihka kandidáhta Áššemeannudeaddji bargun lea dikšut hálddahushovdii gullevaš beaivválaš háldda-husbargguid, nugo fuolahit sámedikki stivrra ja dievasoahkkima válmmaštallamis hálddahushoavdda divššodettiin oasseáigásat kulturguovddáža prošeaktahoavdda bargguid.
"How good you are at 3rd language (2 for UK'lers)?"
Hehe idd :D, people of limited intelligence.

My Russian (2 years, about 8-9 years ago) & German (2 years, about 6-7 years ago) are like low+ max :<.

Blame students ofcourse.
english all the way
I WOULD SHOW OFF MY 3RD LANGUAGE SKILLS BUT CROSSFIRE ONLY ALLOWS ASCII CHARACTERS


also french is my 4th language, LOL MDR FDP MERDE MOWL LOWBOBS
can talk 4 languages fluently

Portuguese, Spanish, English and Maltese
Speaking Netherlands/Belgium Dutch and United Kingdom English (movies, games, ..) fluently.
My France French (since I was 12) and Germany German (since I was 15) are not perfect , but enough to get a decent conversation with any stranger !
Planning to study Spain Spanish next year aswell :-P

I found out that the only way to learn the language is just to go to that country and speak/listen to people ..
Can't blame the teachers, time is the major problem (you don't get enough language classes at school imho) !
?hola que tal?
hola, que pasa?
Parent
es muy fatal :(

pls don't bother me with that language
Parent
I can speak English, Swedish and Finnish fluently and somehow German

In Uni I gonna study Spanish and French/Italy

I haven't had any problems in speaking foreign languages, or at least everyone who I have spoke with have understand me. However sometimes there is of course missunderstandings but It won't disturb me.

I might be weird, but I like to speak in different languages and learn to them :p

I would blame students more since at our age ( 14-19 ) the young are usually more rebellious than they ever will :D and that is why they find it hard to concentrate on school, which afterwards prove to be a blatant mistake not to take school seriously.
Germanygerman ( of course :D), got some Englandenglish skills (not that much :P), a little bit Francefrench and some Japanjapanese words / phrases
i speak Catalan Spanish fluently

me cago en la leche!
:D xDD

hows that?:o
Parent
I dont care about any other language than Norwegian and English. Would be interesting to kno Chinese!
Francefrench for 10 years?;s cant speak it fluently ,but i understand it , maybe if i practice more to speak with someone , this wouldnt be a problem :)
England english (learnt it from cartoon network and school also)
Spain spanish from movies (telenovelas lol :D)
Italy italian cuz it's close to my language (same as spanish and french )

so mostly latin languages :)

Parent

Parent
i can speak german, englisch and spanish for now but hopefully gonna learn italian too
i can speak english and german and i should be able to speak french aswell ... but i dont. \o/
I'm able to speak German, Dutch and English fluently and to understand French a bit.
i'm learning german and this is my last year( 9th year in total) and i'm like low+ at it mainly because of our shitty teacher in elementary school

other than that i know english, croatian, bosnian, serbian and i can understand slovenian and macedonian
I can speak German and English fluently and I'm planning to learn (at least a bit) Russian or Nederlands.
I can speak English and Swedish quite fluently. I hate learning (new) languages though. In our school you have to study 2 courses of German.
polish ofc, english, deutsch low-, 1337speak

that's what I can handle, for low- german skills you may blame my dislike.
