What languages do you Speak?

Hi Miska,
That is seriously impressive. Is there any particular reason you chose to learn those languages?

In slovak schools students have the duty to learn 2 foreign languages (you can choose english and deutsch or english and french, for example)..

I am learning italian for one simple reason-because i love Italy, love their people, their culture and everything connected with Italy

And hungarian?- Parents of my mother are hungarians (that's very typical for south Slovakia that a lot of people speak hungarian because hungarians are our neighbours)

I'm able to communicate pretty much fluently in English, Spanish, French and if people speak very slowly and with a clear accent I'd be able to understand Italian and Dutch.
Would really love to learn one of the Scandinavian languages or greek. Might do a crash course in Greece in summer

Hi Travel100, hi Lucy55
Can I disturb your dialogue?

I am trying to speak english, deutsch (german language), italian, hungarian and understand almost all of the slavic languages (czech,polish, slovenish...)

Miska

Wow that's amazing, to understand so many languages. I assume Slovakian is your native language. What language is the easiest to understand for a Slovakian? Czech?

When you say you have to learn 2 languages in school. Does English have to be one of the two?

I have been learning Spanish for the last year so..

"puedo hablar un poquito del espanol"

I can speak it ok but I am generally better at reading or writing...I want to go to spain to study an intensive course but this won't happen until after I return from my RTW trip in 2006.

I studied French at school so I can still remember a little bit of that too!

I speak English, Icelandic and Danish and can make myself understood in French and Spanish. I have also taken a course in sign language so I can "speak" and understand a bit of that.

P.s.
I understand German but cannot speak a word of it.

Angela,

Is Icelandic similar to Danish (or does Danish require seperate effort to learn)?

Do you have to learn English in High School in Iceland?
