A knack for languages?

Post Reply New Topic

My career before this had me traipsing all over the globe. I found it very easy to pick up spoken languages like Arabic, German, Hongul, Hebrew/Yiddish, Spanish, French, Swahili, and Taglog. Now that I'm in college it is easier for me to communicate with my class/lab mates if I use their native Hindi/Chinese/Japanese. Unfortunately I cannot read or write any of these languages except German.

An unexpected benifit in my line of study is that I can pick up programming languages for computers in a matter of hours.

Bonjour. Je peux parler quelques-uns.

Cool, je sais aussi parler quelques langues : l'anglais et le français.

¡Que bueno! Hay muchas idiomas que yo quiera aprender, especialmente árabe e italiano. Estoy considerando tomar clases de árabe si tengo bastante tiempo.

(It is Sunday night and I make no guarantees that I used correct grammar in any of this)

I am not good at learning languages. I took one class and no matter how I tried I couldnt do the simpliest of words. They said I was butchering the language (Spanish). No matter how much I studied it I just couldnt do it. It just wasnt happening for me. That term I even let all my other classes go to hell for it cause I wanted to try but failed miserably.

I have a difficult time speaking another language (Spanish), but I can naturally understand Spanish, French, some Italian.... and I managed to help my friend on her Japanese homework even though I've never taken any classes or anything like that in regards to Asian languages!

Ahora solo hablo el español, inglés, y un poquito esperanto (pero no lo me gusta, aprendé solo porque me encanta haciendo conlangs, y cuando empiezé no había idea como las lenguas funcionan.).

Pero, me prohibieron aprender un lengua hasta el decimo grado, así, empezé tarde.
El español es my fácil para mí, pero mi clase no quieren aprenderlo.

Antes de fui al México podía escribir el españ mejor que podía lo hablar.
Ahora, lo puedo hablar mejor que lo puedo hablar.

Cuando voy a la universidad, quiero aprendar el portugés, el turko, y el arabe al punto puedo comunicar en los.

Mientras sé que soy buena con lenguas, necesito más oportunidad para los aprender y usar.

I have a friend (also with AS) like that as well.
I'd thought that they just weren't interested as I'd thought that language ability was a natural part of AS.
It appears, perhaps, that I was wrong.

Yo hablo ingles y un poco de espanol pero no se como a poner los acentos en mis respuestas. yo solamente tengo dieciseis anos, asi no soy fluente en espanol! Yo amo hablar en espanol mucho!! !

That's about all I have. I couldn't learn a language unless I was completely immersed in it. Even then, I would probably have problems. I only learned that after failing French and Spanish.

Para impresar los acentos, Ud. debe escribir "&[el vocal]acute;" (Por ejemplo í ---> í)
Para la "ñ" debe escribir "ñ"

Puede encontrar un listo de entidades letras necesarias para impresarlas aquí

wow!! ! Aquí solemos tener solo uno... (año = year; ano = anus)

Yo hablo bien el español, afortunadamente lo hablo fluído y no tengo problemas en la comunicación... incluso escribo canciones y poemas en español... ¡ah claro, es que ese es mi idioma! pero es tan bonito poder escribir en este foro en español...

Anyway, I also speak english fluently (sort of), and I also write songs and poems in english... but you already know that...

Quiero aprender francés, que es una lengua parecida al español, y me gustaría aprender alemán... en general me gustaría aprender todos los idiomas que pudiera. Estudiaría idiomas, pero no hay ninguna universidad con esa carrera en mi ciudad, y no puedo mudarme a donde si la hay porque allá no tengo ni madre ni padre ni perro que me ladre; y además eso aquí no da plata (plata = money).

La langosta es muy grande.

Let's see...Right offhand I know Japanese. I started learning it when I was 12. They don't have a word for autism >_<;

I am taking Spanish in high school...bleh. Too easy.

I've picked up some Latin.

I know a bit of Greek too.

I use Babelfish for my Spanish work because I'm lazy. But I back-translate it until it makes sense.

I only watch anime, i dont study japanese, but i swear, too often do i catch myself understanding what theyre talking about.

I once watched FLCL almost all the way to the end and the whole time it looked somehow wrong but i couldnt tell what, and i realized that it was because i had the subtitles off.

I know some Japanese names. Most of its from anime.

It's really sad when you're able to help someone with their homework that's in a different language and you know nothing about that language. Which is how I am with Japanese.
