I do know another language - Serbian is my first language, but I can't read or write it, on account of never being taught how.
I learnt English when I started Kindergarten, perhaps earlier because I was always watching cartoons...
Because this is Canada, they teach all the students French starting at Grade 4. I believe that if they had taught it better, I'd be MUCH MUCH better by now and so would everyone else who was in Grade 4 French class and kept on going (you have to take French until Grade 9 - then it's your choice). I think I'll keep on going.

But I would like to know Japanese, just the reading, for obvious reasons.

I'm gonna quote Prof. Higgins here:
There even are places where English completely disappeared. In America, they haven't used it for years!

I'm not taking any more classes on it at the moment, because the college I go to doesn't offer it, so I'm just learning new stuff from online sites, and I have tons of Japanese dictionaries and textbooks, and I read those regularly. If I do get a chance to take college level Japanese, I will. If not, I might switch to Spanish or French.

Most of the time,I just go with my better judgement. Actually, francais is probably masculine. But I don't think superbe changes anyways.

I even don't know English well, because I never learned it, I don't know a single grammar rule of it. xX I can understand Japanese a little, but can't read it. People says that I have an aptitude for languages, but I'm too lazy to learn them.

I find this post amusing with you being able to - with no knowledge of the English language - type a coherent, mostly legible sentence in English.

@dancingwattletree: Yeah, the pina is supposed to have that wavy line on top of it. I don't know what it's called in English, but I can say it in Tagalog. Also, it's ventana. In Filipino, those two words are pinya and bintana.
So long, in fact, that all of my signatures now exist behind a paywall.

I can fully understand and read Slovenian but I'm not good at writing or speaking it (usually pronouncing things the wrong way).
I had French for about 3 years at school but I almost forgot everything, although I never was really any good in it anyway. The only phrases which I can still remember are "Je m'appelle...", "J'habit a..." and "Je suis trés fatiguée."
I can mostly understand Croatian and only a few words which are Russian, Polish or Serbian, for they sounding or being almost the same like in Slovenian. I know some Latin but just because I'm going to a medical and biological specialized school [e.g. when a word ends with -itis, it's usually an inflammation (Tonsillitis, Bronchitis, Endocarditis etc.)]
Oh and I know a few Greek (swear) words because some Greek dude at my old workplace was swearing a lot. (Malaka = idiot)

It's just 'superb'. Superbe is the feminine. Francais is masculine, yeah. 'France' itself is feminine however, example being 'J'irai a la France pour mes vacances'.
Obviously, I speak French. I'm competent at Spanish and I'm pretty good at Irish/Gaelige too.

- English
- Dutch
- Deutsch
- French (I don't like French =/)
- Spanish
- A little bit of Polish
But hey... I lived in the Netherlands for quite awhile... only moved there since last year, and they teach a lot of languages over there. ._. They even offered to switch with someone of Japanese school for some weeks. (they got a lot of polish people working there... so yeash I knew some guys >_>)
I miss weed though, oh well.. it's not good for me anyway. Bad habits is bad.
