Um, doesn't everyone speak English with an accent?

Yes, Professor, that is correct.

And kind of the point.

I speak Swedish, Bosnian, English and enough Spanish to have a simple conversation with my teacher.


I study Spanish in school, but I'd like to learn how to speak German. I've got lots of cousins in Germany and we go there
practically every year.

Jawohl Obersturmfuhrer!

English speaker by birth.

Want to learn Gaelic and Mandarin. Both good for swearing and being rude to people I reckon.

German. Although it get alot of crud for wanting to learn that over spanish. I just dont want to learn everyone does.

Russian and Arabic. I'd like to visit both Red Country and the Middle-east someday.

I'm currently learning Arabic, and I'm interested in learning Hindi and Japanese as well. Helps that I know a bit of the latter already, due to watching too much subtitled anime. :/

I once tried to learn German but with nobody to converse with it was very difficult.

I would like to learn latin so I could come up with cool sounding profound statements.

Well, my native language is Romanian, i'm fluent in English and Portuguese, i can work my way around French (understand what they're saying at least, i can't tie up two correct sentences), though i hate that language (sorry French users).

I would really really like to learn German and/or Russian...i have no one who speaks those languages around though, and i'm too lazy to take classes so...:(

I grew up speaking English and some French (despite being in the USA, most people in town spoke French as well).
I chose Mandarin.
I literally have no choice as far as learning more languages. I'm shipping to the U.S. Language Defense Institute in April where I will learn whatever the U.S. Army wants me to. I placed as category 4 in the military language test, which is the highest score, but I still have no idea what I will be learning.

Would like to pick up Japanese.

Native in Finnish. Fluent in English and Swedish, rusty in German.
