Purpose:  
In order to remove some clutter, we are going to combine the old stickies What languages do you speak? and What's another language you want to learn before you die? into one thread. We'd like to keep these topics to a minimum in an attempt to bolster creativity to talk about other things in the vast subjects of cultures and foreign languages! Plus, this is a great central reference for finding someone who speaks a language that you do, or to find someone to help you out!

If you do, feel free to also look at the Language Courses Support Group!

Answer the following questions:  
So LiveWire, what languages do you speak, and to what degree? (You could even use the scale below do describe it!)  
What was your first language?  
What are you secondary languages?  
What languages do you hope to one day master?  
Are you open to members coming to you for help in languages classes or to ask you how to say something?  
Please specify whether you know the language, or want to learn it.

Need help determining your degree of proficiency?  
The ILR (International Language Roundtable) has developed a scale for you to measure your proficiency level in each of the following areas:

I speak Irish Gaelic and French.

My mom's from France, and my dad from Ireland, so I learned both languages growing up.

I speak English and am fluent in French. I also know some intermediate Spanish.

I'd really like to learn how to speak German, and I'm considering studying Latin, to make things a bit easier for me as far as learning the romance languages go. I'm interested in Italian, but doubt I'll ever pursue it.

I speak English, and I can also speak a little French, which I'm hoping to improve.

I also want to learn Japanese.

I speak English and Spanish. Currently learning Latin, Sanskrit, Mandarin, and Hindi. I want to learn all the most important and influential languages of Indo-Europe as well as some modern languages.

I'm fluent in english,
and I studied french for five years, so I know quite a bit of that.
I'm also studying American Sign Language right now. :)

I speak English and Italian.

English is my first language.

I'd consider Italian my second language, although, I've got a long road to being able to speak it 100% properly.

I'd like to master Italian and learn French one day.

Open to members asking about the language- of course.
But, I don't know how much help I'd be!
