Languages

Any particular language you enjoy listening to or are fluent in?

I really love the German language. One of my '2nd mothers' was German and so was my aunt. I did go to night school in my late 20s to learn German (and French for some ungodly reason), but I've forgotten them now.

Another is Italian, plus I love the Italians too

Re: Languages

My first language is Welsh Pesta
English second
And I speak French very well but not completely fluently
I get better when I've been on holiday there!

I also have a smattering of Spanish but I also love the sound of the Italian language
So I want to learn one of them properly but I'm torn between the two

Me gusta espanol pero no soy muy bueno. Cuando mi vacaciones yo hablo espanol.

I think I just said I like spanish but I'm not very good. When I go on my holidays I speak spanish, I wanted to say I try to speak spanish but can't remember the word for try!


I'd dearly love to be fluent in spanish but I can't take things in like I used to.

Re: Languages

Only English, quite well actually for a chap from 'Ull.

I can get around an Italian menu having spent some time in Italy years ago, but what they then come back with I haven't a clue!

Do you know, I can honestly say I've never heard anyone speak Welsh?

Guess, you know which my choice would be of those two

Well done for trying LQ ... that's what it's all about isn't it?

I reckon anyone who goes to different countries should at least try to learn a smattering of their language. If in doubt they should take a phrase book.

My daughter's good with languages.
