800 words of heaven Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just.a.willow.tree Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreacleTart Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felpata_Lupin Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Italian, obviously (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... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ineke Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) 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.

sunshine_locks Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 i don't know how helpful i could really be, but i know some telugu (can't write or read though) and a little spanish (can, write, read, and speak). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaguelyCreativeName Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 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!

MileyMalfoy Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) Adding in my second language of Afrikaans, I'm fluent in reading, writing, and speaking.

down-in-flames Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 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."

suzy turquoise blue Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 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!
