800 words of heaven

Recommended Posts

HPFT is a multilingual community! I thought I'd start up a list of what languages we all spoke, so that if someone needs a little help with translation, we have some guidance as to whom to ask.

 

French - 800 words of heaven (as a second language at high school level)

Hindi - 800 words of heaven

Mandarin - just.a.willow.tree

Spanish - just.a.willow.tree (like, I can read / understand grammar and stuff like that but if you asked me to speak it, nope lol)

Spanish - 100% fluent (especially familiar with Mexican, Caribbean, & South American dialects)

French - I can read/comprehend decently, but my speaking abilities are mediocre

Italian - I can read/comprehend decently, but my speaking abilities are mediocre

Arabic - so-so, I can read phonetically and understand basic phrases

Italian, obviously :P (and I would be absolutely delighted to help if someone wants to practice/needs help with translations/anything else)

Very, very basic French (I can understand if I read it and maybe formulate very easy sentences, but not much more than that, I'm afraid... :couch:)

Good topic!

I can speak (besides English):

Hindi - native tongue (read, write, and speak)

French - intermediate level (A2 Certificate; can read and write, broken speech)

German - intermediate level (B1 Certificate; can read and write, broken speech)

I think we kinda had this topic before, but still.

Bulgarian: native

German: C2 certificate, but I'd rather say t's dropped down to C1

Italian: A1, can read

Russian: A2, probably, can read.

I don't know if ever going to be needed but:

Serbian - native

English - I am bad at grammar and spelling but I have decent vocabulary, Spanish - basic and rather rusty

Dutch for me! It's my native language!

 

As for other languages - English is my best one but irrelevant. I forgot everything French and I can understand and read (most of) German, but writing is a big no, so I guess this isn't helpful either.

My Hebrew is uhh, I'm starting Gimel level classes going by the Hebrew University model? So I don't yet know the future tense or the imperative, but hopefully by the end of the semester I will!

German is my native language, so I'm pretty confident I could translate anything you need there. I took some French and Latin classes at school/uni, hence my grasp of those languages is tentative. I'm taking up French classes again, though, so fingers crossed!

Adding in my second language of Afrikaans, I'm fluent in reading, writing, and speaking. I also have a bit of Spanish but I'm probably a last resort in that.

So theoretically I'm at a conversational level in French, but I like to forget basic words mid-conversation (e.g. once while I was studying abroad in France, I was at a grocery store and needed to buy a plastic bag but couldn't remember the word for bag and had to ask for a "soft box" and I genuinely thought the cashier was going to die laughing for a hot minute once he figured out what I was trying to say). In case you were wondering,  "bag" in French is "sac."

I don't claim to be fluent in Irish, but I could probably translate most short phrases as I did study it for 14 years.

Adding in BSL as I’m fluent and it may be useful to someone — even though it’s a visual language, most signs can be described pretty well in writing! (or I’m moderately decent at the sentence structure if you want to write words that someone signs without adding a description)
