I'm chinese by birth, but english is my first language at school, so I can speak, read and write english fairly well, whereas my own mother tongue is rather rusty, I can speak mandarin with no problem but I can't read or write as well. My partner is norwegian, so I have picked up the norwegian language. Better in writing than speaking or reading it. ^^P Most of the time, english is my most preferred language. ^^

Since I have seen so much anime shows in japanese, I felt I have learnt quite a few phrases and words and expressions. But it's hard to understand totally 100% without actually learning the language properly. ^^P I can't really speak a full sentence. I would love to learn japanese.

It's a beautiful language, the speaking sound .. whereas korean to me sounds abit harsh... like german ..or danish..hehe.. swedish sounds very nice too comparing to danish and norwegian. I used to like to learn french since it's sounded good to me, but it's not easy.

It's great to learn and understand new languages.....ahh....

I can understand ?3/4? cantonese but I can't speak it. Saw many HK drama during my youth...haha..

I am pretty proficient in Japanese and I only have an elementary knowledge of:
Korean
German
Italian
I would really love to become more proficient in the Korean language though. I really enjoy speaking and listening to that language. It is just so much fun!!

English 99% - Growing up in the US makes you know less English than you should, if you know what I mean.

Cambodian - Uhhh... I can understand it fluently and repeat random phrases that my parents yell at me but it's weird that I can't carry on a conversation in it. It's my first language so I don't think I can ever forget it but I'm not that good in it.

French - Took like a million years of French in middle school and highschool but I can mostly read it and not understand it that well.

Korean - I know a little bit of Korean because I gew up babysitting some Korean kids. I think Korean would be easy for me to learn because I can verbally understand a lot of the words without translating them into English, which is what I'm trying to do with Japanese.

Japanese - I know how to read the Kana and understand some few catch phrases but hardly enough to watch doramas without subtitles but understand and speaking don't seem to be a problem. The hardest part is the written Kanji and grammer. OMG KANJI!!!

I think it would be a lot easier to learn a language if you try not to translate it everytime you use a word. When I was learning French I was always translating whatever into English because they're so similar so I don't think I learned it as well, but now that I'm learning Japanese I think it's easier and better way to learn if you don't rely on English as much and learn it using symbols more. I'm majoring in education so I have a lot of learning theories. LOL thanks for reading.

I speak English, Korean, and Japanese. I might work on Chinese next, though I am a bit intimidated by the tones. I guess I will have to train my ears even better.
