I speak portuguese(from Brazil) and english fluently. I know a fair amount of Spanish and I am trying to learn to Japanese on my own
Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you

Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like to be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like

Welcome to my life :sniffle:

Swedish is my first language, but as you can see I know English too. Then I understand German, Norweigan and Danish quite well. I can speak a little bit French, Latin and Icelandic too. Then I know a few words in Japanese. I think that's it.

I'm pretty good with Spanish. I've always wanted to learn Latin, but if I ever got the chance to learn Greek or Portugese (both are part of my heritage) I'd take it.

English and German (classes and free-time learning) are the main two languages for me... I did take Spanish for three years, but I can't stand it.


O'yeah, and I've pick up a little Japanese from chatting with some CAA folks. :grin:

I took 2 years of Spanish in middle school, and 4 in high school, so I guess you could say I know a bit.

No other languages though, unfortunately. Maybe some Japanese in the future, since I have books, but teaching myself doesn't seem to be working out. Oh well. Cheers! Or should I say...salud!

English, duh.
Also I'm pretty much fluent in Spanish, and starting Japanese lessons.

I'm almost done with my 'survival Japanese studies' AKA Pimsleur Course 1. (I'm doing it at a slow pace so I will be able to retain everything I'm learning from it.) In a couple of weeks, it's on to Intermediate.

Well, my 1st language is English. I took 3 years of Spanish classes and was told (by classmates and teacher) that I was rather fluent. I got rusty over the summer. I've done some reading on Latin roots, as well as a bit of German. There are so many languages I'd *like* to know, but I'm really only up on 2.
