Can everybody in here speak? Just a bit curious as to the variety of different languages that are in the game really

Mine are obviously english both speaking and writing.
Welsh i can speak ALMOST perfectly now but still majorly struggling writing it and happy to admit it [stupid mutations!]
French and italian and im currently trying to learn.

I am a horrible monoglot.

I have very little aptitude for languages, much to my eternal sorrow.

I've learned bits n pieces of languages over the years but never stuck it out long enough to be able to hold an intelligent conversation in one. The following is the list of languages I can utilize to 1. find out where the bathroom is and 2. say hi, goodbye, sorry, and thank you in.

(in order of speaking ability from decentish to terrible):
Korean
Spanish
Japanese
Latin (2 yrs of lol high school)
Swahili

I just tell people I can only speak English really. The other languages only come out when i'm in the respective country and need to find the ladies room. lol

basically, if you see a miki on Triumph, it's probably cute and it's probably me.

Huge thanks to cuppamanga and all the folks in the mac help forum for prolonging my borrowed time on this game.

English.
Some German and Latin.
I should know a lot more German than I do but I was drunk at the time.

I know... I don't belong in here, but I miss Germany.


Be well, people of CoH.

Does sign language count?

I've done 3 years of French, 5 years of Spanish, 2 years of German, 2 years of Italian and 1 year of Urdu. My head is a mess when it comes to languages that I don't even try. I can go on any euro server and pretty much have people speaking english to me anyway.

My advice, get into one at a time. Read actual books and magazines in other languages (forcefeed yourself). Doing 2 or 3 at once is a nightmare.


He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

English.

I had gotten somewhat fluent in Japanese at a conversational level, but it's been so long since I used it that I've forgotten most of it.

And the French I learned at school is even further back...

English, although I can just about follow Dutch and Russian conversations even though I'm not able to speak them.

English is my native tongue but I can pass in French and at least can say 'Hello' 'Goodbye' 'Thank you' and the favourite English word 'Sorry' in Arabic and Greek. Although I do like to find out what the native version of 'Cheers' is in every country I visit.

English

Irish (but it was fado fado when I learnt it at this stage)
French, enough to get by if I go to France so I won't starve and can ask basic questions


 

Posted

New Zealand English as a native language
Dutch learnt 13 years when living there. Still able to hold a conversation if the person I am talking too knows I'm not very good.


 

Posted

English (native)
French
Spanish
German

enough to get around in the other 3, but not anywhere close to fluent. I did play in some french speaking groups on Freedom in the early days, but really struggled to talk, even if I understood most of what was said.


It's true. This game is NOT rocket surgery. - BillZBubba

As languages are (normaly) not learned within a single day... just how long were you drunk?

Prost
MOAR!!



German...I know, what a surprise.
English
Dutch well, at least I can read it.
A few years back I was pretty good in Sindarin and Klingon... Yes I´m a Geek, so what?
And I can read and write in Futhark... although that´s not a language but only an alphabet.

English - Fluent
Welsh - Mostly fluent but I'm better at reading it

I know smatterings of Italian and Japanese but not enough to have a decent conversation with someone who's fluent.


 

Posted

Swedish, English, German. Some phrases in Japanese (mostly concering food and ordering food). Spanish (same as Japanese).
