What languages can you speak?

I can speak English, Pig Latin (igpay atinlay), Italian (l'italiano), a little Ancient Egyptian (I call it Khemetic) and a tiny bit of German (Deutsch).

Cool! One of my friends speaks like 20 dialects of Hindi. I don't believe her, but when she starts listing then off...


message 7: by Shlomo (new)

Shlomo (shlomoreuben) | 3 comments Indeed, that could very well be true. One of India's Prime Minister, P. V. Narasimha Rao, could speak in 17 different languages.

I love how in French, it's spelled 'oui' but it's pronounced 'wi' - what's up with that?!

Wouldn't you rather say 'oui oui' instead of 'wi wi'?


message 12: by Tachi (new)

Tachi English and Spanish. I'm not good at writing in Spanish, though.

I love writing in Italian :) sometimes when I don't know how to spell a word in English I accidentally write it in Italian :)


message 14: by Tachi (new)

Tachi Wow! I'm planning to learn French as a third one, but I don't know if I should take Italian instead.

I think Italian is easier to pronounce and stuff, but there are like 7 ways to say 'the' and they each have a different use, but otherwise it's pretty easy :)


message 16: by Tachi (new)

Tachi Thanks for the info!


message 17: by Tara ♪ (new)

 Tara ♪ | 149 comments I take French in school and I think that once you learn a few general rules for pronunciation, it definitely gets a bit easier. Conjugating verbs can be tricky, though, and to an English-speaker, masculine and feminine nouns are tough, too. But I suppose that's to be expected with most foreign languages.

I had to take three years of Japanese in elementary school, and I found that pronunciations and grammar weren't too difficult. Learning to wrote the characters, though, was difficult.

Best part about Italian - all feminine end in a and all masculine end in o.


message 19: by Tara ♪ (new)

 Tara ♪ | 149 comments Ahhh... Typically, in French feminine ends in e and masculine doesn't, but there are exceptions.


message 20: by Emma, la Magnifica! (new)

Emma (rpblcofletters) | 497 comments Mod
Yeah, in Italian there are some weird ones that come from Latin. Like 'la mano' even though Mano is masculine and la is feminine.
