Do you speak/ Have an inclination towards?
I speak basic conversational indonesian/malay, i'm studying it more at my own pace and hoping to go to a language immersion school in yogyakarta next year (:
You guys?

I speak Hebrew and English as a native speaker - born in Israel, raised in Canada, and now back in Israel. I've also studied French many years so I understand almost everything but I'm not great at stringing together sentences. If it counts, I understand very basic sentences in Russian because my grandparents are Russian.
and it's all an illusion it's all an illusion and sometimes i wonder what the hell god was thinking when he created mankind and if he created us in his image is he also so fucked up?

Without courage, all other virtues lose their meaning.

Native speaker of English, learned German for two years and can ask directions and make small talk, but that's about it, and am currently taking French in school.
If I was any older I would act my age but I don't think that you'd believe me.

"Zuni (also Zuñi) is a language of the Zuni people, indigenous to western New Mexico and eastern Arizona in the United States. It is spoken by around 9,500 people worldwide, especially in the vicinity of Zuni Pueblo, New Mexico and much smaller numbers in parts of Arizona."

^ Brendt is a Grammar Nazi. lol!
-Arabic (my mother tongue, I'm miserable at it)
-French (second language, I'm "losing it")
-English (my third* language, I'm getting better at textual communication, but not really at oral communication)
-German (my fourth* language, much more romantic than French, and very fabulosa! My abilities in German are also better than the three other languages)
FYI: Zuñi is the language of an the eponymous indigenous peoples of western NM and eastern AZ according to Wiki.

I have reasonable qualifications in German and Spanish. I can understand some French and I have a basic certificate in Japanese.
I would LOVE to pursue one of these three further... Possibly Japanese

Me? Trawnna (Toronto). Because that's in the English-speaking part of Canada, which is why I speak English but studied French at school. Those weird Quebecois have it all mixed up!
and it's all an illusion it's all an illusion and sometimes i wonder what the hell god was thinking when he created mankind and if he created us in his image is he also so fucked up?
