Japanese and Hawaiian. I'm good with my Japanese, been taking it for a long time. I'm gonna spend 6 weeks during summer in an accelerated class for that since my teacher is planning to retire after this year. Should be fun. I know very basic Hawaiian from elementary school. I'm pretty sure everyone learns Hawaiian in (public) elementary school here. I really want to learn more, though. The phonetics are close to Japanese, I always thought that was neat. Plus, the Hawaiian class is right next to Japanese class and the teacher is very loud so it's like learning two languages at the same time.

pretty much, yeah. i've never really been interested in learning another language besides english at all really.
Used to learn italian but can only remember bruto and grosso (ugly and fat)...also learned Indonesian for four years in years 6-9 before our teacher left. Can't remember a single word.

I know French and German quite well (though not fluent yet), and I can say some basic things in a variety of other languages including Spanish, Italian and Swedish.

^Roughly the same story here....at the time my high school advisor and I pretty much agreed that I might just be unable to learn it, and I've recieved diagnostic evidence since too. I can remember some spanish words but I don't think I could put a sentence together.

Spanish although I can't really speak it well, writing and understanding mainly, I really suck at speaking. The Spanish I know is a mixture of the Cuban dialects picked up from Miami and the Spaniard spanish I learned in school although Cuban Spanish is closer to original Spanish then many other countries Ive been told they are still different.

I took Spanish between 2nd and 5th Grade, then some more during 7th and 8th, 9th thru 11th, and just this semester (before resigning).
Even after all that, I'm anything BUT fluent. :ashamed:

Hebrew and Japanese. I can read and pronounce Aramaic...but that doesn't do much good.
I want to tackle Irish next. I can say a few things, but again, it won't help much. I can ask for milk, but I can't drink it.

Same laws apply here as they do in the musical instrument thread. I know Italian because I can say fettucini alfredo. NO.
Anyway, even though I type perfect English here, I don't really speak English as much as you'd think. Spanglish is the gist of it, and that's what I'm used to. Also speak Caló to be an assclown.

gaelic?
The lagnuage is called Irish, DNS.

i wasn't sure which language you meant, since gaelic refers to a group of languages, and irish is a subdivision of goidelic languages.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaelic
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_language
i've honestly just never heard it referred to that way, and wasn't sure what you were referring to.

I'm going into my 3rd year of Spanish.
Can speak, read and write greek.
Same except I'm still doing greek school and am going to Greece for two months in 5 weeks. I also do indonesian at school but I practicly know nothing and bludge every lesson. I literally have about 3 pages of work in my book from the entire year.
Except for Swedish, I can speak English, Norweigan and a little Spanish.
But Norweigan is basiclly the same as Swedish, it's like UK English and US English.

It's definitely one of the hardest languages to learn, but I like that.
We'll see just how much I like it, when I start to learn it. It makes Hebrew look easy.

Hebrew's not so bad. The grammar's extremely simple and most of it is invented.

I speak English of course, some Spanish (not fluent, but not just "hola", "adios", and "amigo", either), and some Latin (same deal as with the Spanish). I'd like to learn French.
