What languages do you speak?

[aliss]

Aside from the obvious English!?

I speak basic French mais je ne parle pas très bien (but I don't speak very well), a wee bit of Japanese and some Mandarin (both learned at university and I'm rapidly losing it).

Any French-speaking moms here? I would love to practice

 

[Becky]

My OH speaks Czech well all his family do now that is a confusing language x

 

[Stef]

I cant speak any.

I can say a few words in German and Spanish but that only because of School.:/

I think MissJess can speak french if I remember rightly but I dont see her post that much any more.

[JuicyLucy]

I can speak adequate french a bit of spanish but that's all

 

[AnnaBanana9]

I speak fluent French as I was born and raised in Montreal, where French is the first language. I've been living in the UK for almost 11 years though, so a chance for me to practice would be fantastic!

[aliss]

Yay French girls

So Anna are you an anglophone from Montreal? My family is but when they moved to B.C. they never taught me any French. So now I end up with a French OH and we're moving to Montreal in a couple months and I don't know much French

Voulez-vous pratiquer avec moi???

OH is fluent obviously (it's his first language) but he's an impatient teacher

 

[AnnaBanana9]

Oui, je suis une anglophone de Montreal!

Whereabouts you moving to? I'm from the South Shore -- Saint Hubert, to be precise

 

[aliss]

Oh how funny!!

We are thinking either St Jean sur Richelieu or Chambly! Probably St Jean! OH is originally from Brossard

 

[AnnaBanana9]

ROFL! Brossard is right next door to St Hubert My old stomping grounds... I get homesick sometimes. Haven't been back in a few years, as when I moved to the UK, my parents moved to Oakville, which is just west of Toronto.

 

[wannabmamma]

i speak basic Irish, a tiny bit of French and Spanish

 

[aliss]

I've been looking for another BNB mom from the south shore (or hell, even the entire province) and no luck! Typical you are in the UK now! LOL! Just my luck.

 

[AnnaBanana9]

I know! How typical

At least I'll know landmarks and locations and stuff

 

[Lyrah]

I speak Finnish and Dutch - I'm learning xxxxxx

 

[AnnaBanana9]

OOooh Lyrah, you could teach me Dutch! I have family in Holland

 

[Strawberries]

I can speak quite good French as I did it as an advanced higher in school but I'm fast losing it! I want to learn Spanish too as that's where I go on holiday most often and will probably end up living there eventually.

 

[Hayley90]

i got an A in french at school...but ive lost it all!
taught myself very basic written arabic, literally primary school stuff, and started on russian then gave up.

I know odd words of loads though, i worked it out once i knew hello in about 15 languages! which was so cool.

im better at writing than speaking though! x

 

[JASMAK]

Je ne parle pas très bien français, mais j'ai appris à l'école que je suis Canadien.

 

[AngelzTears]

I speak English (well, I mean obviously ) and Japanese. I got pretty good at Spanish in highschool but I've long since forgotten most of it!

 

[mummy3]

I speak english and school german.
DH is completely fluent in french, english and spanish

 

[Sarahkka]

English as my first language, fairly fluent French, some Swedish - I used to be fluent, but it's been 15 years! - and very bad Spanish.
Je parle le francais de l'ecole secondaire de la colombie britannique. Ce n'est pas le bon francais, mais j'essaye!
