I should learn more languages

I currently speak English, French and Dutch (fluently). My German is not too bad, and I understand some ‘tourist’ Spanish and Italian.

Since I’m planning to travel there, I should learn a few words of Turkmen.

I speak fluently Swissgerman and German and I’m quit fluent in French and English since I have to use it everyday. I’m learning Latin at school but I actually hate it … We moved to Ethiopia one year ago so I started with Amharic. I can read and write (other alphabet) and I can have decent conversation. Amharic is really fun to learn and the people here respect you more, when they realise that your not just a tourist.

haha, my first post

When I was in Wales I heard more Welsh than I expected. Most casual greetings were Cymraeg (I think thats it, and if memory serves the y is a oo sound as in “zoom”) and I even saw some program(me)s in Welsh on the tele(vision). I saw a black man speaking Welsh, something that was very new to me.

My grandmother still knows all her Welsh and she has been living in the States for 48 years (she was a ww2 London evacuation baby to Wales, near Llanelly). It was crazy to hear it all come out when she was talking to her friends, as it was a side of her I had never seen.

I’d love to hear Welsh spoken with an American accent.

I’d love to hear Welsh spoken with an American accent.

Although if you say the Y like OO, it’s more like a Yorkshire accent.

How many languages

I think the easiest way to keep / improve any language after basic skills is to read the language, vocabulary grows rapidly and grammar becomes intuitive.
Having said that I would recommend Bendiceme Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya to the spanish readers. I also like the various historical novels by Isabel Allende.

I speak Dutch as my native language.
English at work (and here, and elsewhere on the internet).
Learned German and French at school.
Did half a Linguaphone course Norwegian, probably quite rusty by now.

Oh and I understand Friesian (the second language of the Netherlands) but I don’t speak it.

Wishlist: Spanish, Turkish, Russian.

Update: learning Swedish right now.
