I bet I have written something wrong in this text also.

I'm studying Swedish also at school. But I'm not that good...
I have Swedish last name!
Wow! You are Finnish? I think that is very awesome. When i go to the book store, i can never find books to learn Finnish...

I speak portuguese, for I'm brazilian... and it's very different from Portugal's portuguese!

I learned english by myself when I was a child, an now I am a fluent speaker ^^

I'm taking japanese lessons (which are so very fun, because everyone in class likes anime! ^.^) but my vocabullary is still very short, and I haven't learned any kanji ._.

I intend to learn... hm... everything I can! ^__________^ I want to speak all languages, even the dead ones! (Don't know how long it's gonna take but... it's a dream xD)

Fluent in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin.
Currently teaching myself and will go into Japanese.

Used to be pretty fluent in Spanish, but I honestly don't know how I forgot. Now I only know the basics. 7 years of spanish class.. who would've known it meant nothing?

I really wanna speak Korean also. [:

I guess Finnish is very hard language to learn.. So many things are so different. Like in english you put 'a' or 'an' or 'the' before some words.
In swedish there's 'en' and 'ett'. But we don't have anything like that in Finnish.
(so I guess I do many mistakes with those. ^^;

And you say 'my book', or anything else with that word 'my', we can say it with just one word. But you can also say with two words.
a book = kirja
my book = (minun) kirjani
your book = (sinun) kirjasi
her/his book = hänen kirjansa (we have just one word, same to women and men. and here you need two words.)
our book = (meidän) kirjamme
your book = (teidän) kirjanne (and we have two different words as 'you'. that first one was about just one person, and this is about more people.)
their book = heidän kirjansa (here's also two words needed.)

also same kinda thing with "me" "you" "her / him" "us" "you" and "them".

And in english it matters where in sentence you put words. In finnish it's different.. We have another order.. and still there's many ways to use same words sometimes..

Oh well this was kinda pointless I guess. ops:

No, that was definitely NOT pointless, i think its so interesting ^^ really!

the words looks kind of hard to pronounce though~~ i have read some norweigen before and i think generally, scandinavian languages need lots of practice with the pronouncing XD

I'm really interested in learning foreign languages so i thank you a lot for showing me what the form looks like ^^

I'm glad you liked it. ^^

I think it's same thing with pronounce when we are trying to talk English. ^^;
We say all letters different way. Our letters are kinda sharper or something.
English sounds soft somehow. ^^;;

English is my first language but I'm learning French and Spanish at school. I'm not good at either but French is my worst. I can count to 10 in German and Japanese as well.

I'm fluent in American-English and Pig Latin (haha!). I have a friend who is learning Ebonics because she's studying to be a teacher...it's almost recognized as an official language!

My mother tongue is finnish and I speak english fluently and a little bit of swedish.
I'd like to study some other languages such as japanese and spanish but we don't have any courses in our school. Too bad.

Roosa, kiva että täältä löytyy muitakin suomalaisia

My native language is Tagalog/Filipino, but I learned how to speak both Tagalog and English at the same time at a very young age (like around 3 years old).

Right now I'm learning Japanese, but my Tagalog is started to get a bit rusty. Dx
