Languages

Was wondering which languages people here at Acorn speak.


Let me kick off:

Danish
Dutch
English
French
German

And occasionally I think I can speak Spanish and Turkish

That's an impressive list.

In decreasing order of fluency...
English
French
Japanese (verbal)
Dutch (mainly reading)
Spanish (a bit, mainly reading)

Yeah I heard something like that, but did you just learn it by picking up words or did you have a proper course?

I think living there for fifteen years would equate to a proper course, although having said that, I've lived partly in Malaysia and China for twenty years and can't speak any Mandarin other than the 'please and thank you' stuff.

I never had a classroom course, but I did study at university on an informal basis (1 hour a week during term time) with the Japanese Society for 3 years before I moved out to Japan. That was enough to give me some basics to build on.

I'm sure you're quite fluent Edwin. I was going to have a stab at Mandarin until I discovered that in Hunan Province (China) they have a completely different language. It's interesting to note that in the UK, dialects can change for every 60 miles you travel. And to some, they are unintelligible.
