English is my native language, however I can also read and write a decent amount of Japanese. Would like to learn German, but don't have the time nor patience for a third language.

Uh, hm....German (mother tongue), English, French and, most important, BAVARIAN!

Oh and the mighty (and dead) Latin.

Jo mei dos i des no dalebn darf. No oaner der so stoiz is auf sei Herkunft. Vo wo kimmst?

So back to English. :>

I`m speaking German and Bavarian as Mother tongue and fluent English.
Bit of Spanish and Italian. Learning nearly everyday to improve these Languages.
 
I'm pleasantly surprised to see that there are so many Americans that are multilingual.

To me, being a Norwegian, your sig is pretty funny, with every word being a Norwegian one, but the nicely flowing sentence is completely nonsensical :

"Ikke en den dikke en de rest kan stikke."

Translation from Norwegian to English, with the the translation of one or two words chosen from the possible alternatives for max sensibility and fun (it almost makes sense in English :dopey:):

"Not one that cuddle, one they rest can sod off"

Or :

"Not one that seal one they left over can sting"

Gave me a good chuckle :lol:

It seems that I can add Norwegian to my list of foreign languages that I know as well. :P
 
^ Sure you can... And I can add Dutch, then... :)

Apart from the Scandinavian languages (Danish, Norwegian, Swedish), all of which most Scandinavians can understand fine, Dutch is almost readable to a Norwegian because there are so many words that seem to be very similar. Note: that is, almost, as in not really... :P

Well there is one member that can comment of that. Bramturismo is Belgian but he lives in Norway.

Bram, if you read this, tell us your opinion about the difference between Dutch and Norwegian.

Yes, I too fell asleep on the keyboard and got an A in Welsh class.
 
I actually only got a B. Full-course GCSE though; I did mine at night classes at a college.

Yes you are right its a german dialect and we are very proud of it to speak it.
When Im talking to people from other countrys and they`re asking where Im from and Im telling from Germany, its so easy to get in a nice conversation because everybody thinks of Bavaria (Oktoberfest and Beer) anyway.
Couldn`t imagine having to explain all the time that my city is in the middle of somewhere in Germany that probably nobody knows.

I know quite a bit of french and some Spanish (Vivo en mi Casa = I live in my house is pushing my knowledge) also I know one Irish phrase (Pog mo thoin) and 2 welsh words (slow and police)
 
Je ne parle pas Français. Je parle Anglais.

That's the only French I've committed to memory!:lol: I've mostly forgotten the rest of what I learned in school.
