General

i did spanish, but only because i had to

I speak Mandarin and Cantonese at home and I've had to go to Chinese school for over 8 years. I took Japanese in middle school for 2 years but I can't really remember it now. I'm currently learning Spanish and have been for 3 years. I really wanted to take Korean but they didn't offer it at my school

I had to learn Spanish but I really wanted to learn Japanese. I forgot everything relating to Spanish class

The only other language I ever took was French up until grade 10.

I took Italian throughout high school. And I took 1 year of ASL in college. Still in college and I still want to take more ASL but I don't have room at the moment.

English at school (British English not American English) Just give me the British accent <3
German at school
Japanese by my self. And I like it, though I stopped cuz school y know ..

Mother language is Dutch.

Four years of Japanese in high school, three semesters of Japanese in college so far, going to Japan in the spring to finish up my Japanese minor.

Japanese isn't for everyone and it's a lot of work, but it's a load of fun. Some people, it just clicks automatically, others suck and will always suck at it no matter how hard they study.

currently a student of french at university but i'm dropping out so

i also did spanish at school & i self-taught a little italian and swedish but nothing more than the basics. when i get around to reapplying to university i'm going to pick up latin, and i'd like to learn german someday too

spanish, and some german.

learned spanish in school. i shoulda taken french instead. spanish just doesn't sound as "pretty" as french.

i took latin for a year and a half and i can't for the life of me recall any of the declensions or grammar rules but i do remember that locutus is the perfect participle of loquor and it means "spoken"
and the only reason i remember that is because i am locutus of borg, resistance is futile

umm mandarin/canto speaker, knows english, french too

Korean speaker, learned english since I moved to USA
Took 3 years of Spanish at high school which I dont even remember now

french- most of primary school and the first year of high school. i kind of regret not sticking to it because my sisters speak it a lot at home
japanese- three years in high school. i regret taking it because i didn't even like anime or cosplay while everyone else in the class were obsessed. only good thing about that class was that we got to waste a lot of class time making food. i was like the black sheep
chinese- i've spoke cantonese all my life and took chinese (cantonese) school all of grade school. when high school started, i took mandarin as an extracurricular while taking japanese as a course in school. chinese is a piece of cake

Learned French for 13 years.
I can barely speak Tagalog but I can understand it quite well. It's probably the most used language in my household so yeah.
I'm currently learning Japanese through Rosetta stone. Just started yesterday but I've known quite a bit from watching anime so right now all I'm really learning is reading one of the things. I don't even know what it's called Hiragana I think?

Personally I love learning new languages so I find it really amusing.

A took German my last year of high school because I was bored and didn't feel like taking Spanish for a 4th year in a row. I don't regret it.

I took 5 years of official classes for Japanese. Though, I don't really count the last year, because it was mostly just reading Musashi in English and then trying to describe it in Japanese and then trying to beat each other out in Kanji knowledge. We didn't really learn anything new that year.

That was several years ago, though. I've stuck with it by playing Japanese games and speaking with Japanese people over the internet, but I can't actually speak it worth crap. Over text-based conversations, I'm pretty good, but ask me to speak it in real life and I'll devolve into a fumbling idiot.

Took 4 years of Spanish in high school and now I'm a Spanish major. Planning on becoming a high school teacher. I absolutely love it. ^^
Taking Japanese starting next year! I'm gonna stick with it--I just love language.

^no. rosetta stone is crap & overpriced. get something else.

OT: Spanish at school and 1 year of Japanese (now self-studying)

I never learned to speak them in a formal classroom setting, but I can understand Hindi and Gujarati (state-specific Indian language) very well. I learned Gujarati from my parents, and Hindi is very similar + I watch Bollywood movies. I can also understand Punjabi and Urdu to an extent.

I took Italian for 5 years in middle/high school. I still understand it, but I can't form sentences as quickly I used to be able to, and sometimes with faster speakers, what they're saying just flies over my head. I wish I still remembered Italian.

I was considered ESL till like second grade lmao(fluent at spanish) and took Italian in high school. Thinking about getting Rosetta Stone for like Chinese or something.

I took Spanish 1, 2, and 3. I still use it today. I used it the most when I was playing with the Spanish speakers on maple.

i took latin in hs, it was meh. now i'm taking asl in college and i really like it.

Greek, Latin, and Spanish.
I regret the Spanish, but had to take it.

Deus cautius Lupum.

Speak English at home, understand Cantonese to some degree, understand Mandarin to some degree (studied it for 11 years but slowly forgetting) and most other languages I have little or no understanding in.

I speak English, I am Laotian and speak it.

I took Mandarin I, II, and III in high school. I understood it then, and still understand it pretty well.

Punjabi at home
French I took for 11 years

and obviously English.

I'm Mexican.
I took Spanish because I like Spanish.

Finished 6th year of Latin. I still don't know Latin.

I speak Dutch, English and Turkish.
I'm trying to learn Arabic, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean and Spanish.

learn English at school, speak Dutch at home
was forced by parents to learn Assyrian

Took Chinese in school.. didn't get far haha
All i remember now is how to say someone has a big head.
School teached me well. *derp derp*

Exactly the same as me!

I took Spanish and German. I'm brown, so I just took Spanish for the easy grade. I enjoyed learning German, even though my HS German teacher sucked. I want to pick it up again, but I don't really have a way of using it often. I'll probably try & fail Japanese later, too.

I learnt english at school.

I took two years of Italian in high school, I absolutely hated it.
The language is great, but the teacher was downright awful. Now I think I'm going to have to take a couple semesters of Italian again in college.

I took 4 years of German in high school. I think I only remember a little bit.

I took Mandarin in high school and hated the class. I'm Chinese so I have some sort of background (Canto) but since I do, the teacher expected way more and I basically couldn't ask anything from her. Her class was more miserable than actual Chinese school which I took for a summer. Also was in some bilingual program from K-4.

Im currently taking French in HS and its pretty fun.
Kinda wish my teacher went over sentence structure and pronunciation rules and stuff like that but i guess she will teach that in higher levels of french.

But my sister took Japanese in HS and she forgot everything.
I think now she just uses it because she continued her Japanese courses into college and after this semester shes pretty much just done with it.

I know English Language, Chinese Language and Malay Language - I learnt English and Chinese for 8 years (in Malaysia and Singapore) and also Malay Language for 6 years (in Malaysia).
I want to learn Korean and Japanese when I grow up.

3 years of Chinese when I was a child, 4 if you count my grandmother tutoring me.
3.5 years of Spanish over the course of middle and high school.
3 years of Japanese during high school.

The thing is I've forgotten Spanish completely, I'm on the verge of forgetting how to talk in Cantonese, and I can't form Japanese sentences as quickly as I could a few years ago. At least I'm still literate in English.

I went to Vietnamese school every Sunday when I was little and took three years of Vietnamese as my foreign language in high school (one of which was at the IB A1 level). It's my native language so I know it well. Looking back though, I probably should have taken Spanish as it's more widely spoken and is a rapidly growing language in the US. I'm currently self-learning Mandarin (traditional) and Spanish, but I've been getting sort of lazy..
