Syriac-Aramaic is my first language, English my second, I'd really love to learn another.

Despite growing up in a Mexican family in southern California, I never learned Spanish. Even after moving to Texas, I chose to learn German :v:.

Die Deutsche Sprache ist ein schöne Sprache.
I'm English and speak English, I'm also trying to learn French I don't know how you guys manage so easily, I'll take a look at the site and see if it's any good.
Also I'm curious since this thread is about languages; do you find the British dialect of English hard to understand? Wherever you're from.
If anybody needs some help with French I could give tips in my spare time, sadly I don't have much of it.
[QUOTE=Maruhai;40242830]If anybody needs some help with French I could give tips in my spare time, sadly I don't have much of it.[/QUOTE]Yeah I haven't a clue what the textbooks mean half of the time when they use these terms, it makes me feel like I need to learn English before learning French even though I'm a native speaker.
Native Dutch speaker, but my English grammar is somehow better. I just have a horrible accent when speaking English. That's it, no other language because I can't be bothered.
Native dutch as well along with english. Had french and german for roughly 2 years and I can introduce myself in both those languages fairly well
I went to a school where every single class was in Irish, including English.
Ní maith liom ag caint as Gaeilge, tá sé ró deacair. Or something. I was awful at spelling in Irish.

Technically there's no such thing as Gaelic, Gaelic is a group of languages that developed from the language the Celts used.
The Gaelic languages are Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Manx.

Ich liebe sie so viel. Sie macht viel Spaß, weil ich eine tolle Deutschlehrerin habe.
Been learning German for the past year or so, considered learning Japanese at one point but the idea felt a bit eh to me at the time, as a "maybe later" kind of thing.

Lernst du Deutsch in Schule? Für wie viele Jahren?
Ich wuensche ich lerne Deutsch in meiner Schule, aber nur haben wir Tuerkisch und Spanisch.
Nederlands and Français as my mother's and dad's languages, learned English from my best friend who's American, Deutsch im Schule, some Spanish and Italian as well, but those last two didn't stick very well.
My mother tongue's English, pero estudio español hace seis o siete años y puedo leer las noticias bien, aunque lo encuentra mucho más difícil seguir una conversación rápida. Soy propenso a cometer errores tontos, también. Uczę się też polskiego, ale jestem znaczie gorzej z polskim niż z hiszpańskim. Słowa są więcej różnią się od angielskich słowów, i trudno mi odmieniać poprawnie czasowniki i rzeczowniki.
My native language is luxembourgish, although I often speak french and german in luxembourg. I lived in Austria for nearly 2 years, so my german is pretty good. Also I often read and watch stuff in english, although I seldom speak english, only to myself.
My native language is Portuguese, but I also speak fluent English (I'm in America at the moment) and I can understand Spanish well, though I can't speak it that much, I got a lot better now that I've been living with a Mexican family for like 6 months, I'm sure I'd be almost fluent if we talked more.
Just started French in duolingo, though I'm thinking about starting Italian since I'd have someone to practice with. I'm at basic 2 anyway so I dont think it will make a difference if I ditch French for now and start Italian.
Languages that are strongly influenced by Latin are so similar sometimes that its surprising, I said a joke in Portuguese to a friend, and the Italian guy overheard it and laughed

Is luxembourgish a dialect of french?
Dansk er mit moderssprog (danish is my mothertongue) i can english, und dan habe ich Deutsch gelernt in schule. Nächstes Jahre wollen ich gerne Spanisch gelernt.
I "speak" American Sign Language.
[QUOTE=Hammerz;40268396]Is luxembourgish a dialect of french?[/QUOTE]
It's an official language, although french has a huge impact on our language. Luxembourgish lacks a lot in terms of terminology and such, therefore it borrows from french.
It's also some-what similar to German, but very warped :v:
So you can kinda communicate with Germans and the French with luxembourgish? (that totally sounds like a made up word)
[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;40271649]So you can kinda communicate with Germans and the French with luxembourgish? (that totally sounds like a made up word)[/QUOTE]
Somewhat. It's similar but definitely a different language. If you can speak German you'll understand some parts well and some other parts will make zero sense. Read about it [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxembourgish]here[/url], and if you speak German you'll know what I mean.
I'm just gonna guess its similar to Portuguese and Spanish in the sense that while those languages are pretty different, most speakers would understand each other if they spoke slowly or were writing
I once met this Spanish girl for example, and I barely spoke spanish back then, and she didn't know any portuguese, but somehow we managed to have perfectly normal conversations just like that, speaking a different language to each other, which probably sounded weird to other people who realized that
I speak Dutch with a light Antwerp accent, I can kinda type and speak English. I have a lot of trouble correctly using [del]the past[/del] any tense in both languages and I can't spell for shit. I can also say je ne parle pas francais.
