Oh, and I want to learn how to speak Irish, so I can be like those people at the mall who are speaking loudly in another language and you want to know what they're saying. I love those people. My mom speaks irish, so it's possible.

Joo-o. Kokonaiset kaksi suomalaista oon nyt siis täällä tavannut. ^^;
I think I've posted here before, but I speak Finnish as my native language and my English isn't that bad either.. (but not that good still.. )
And we have to study swedish at school but I can't speak it very well.
And I have tried to learn Italy, and I knew some sentences. ^^;;
But I have forgotten all...
And I was studying some japanese words from a dictionary which I found from library!

uuh...I think i'm giving up on Japanese for the time being, It's getting in the way of my french and german... I wish I took it up when I was younger and had the chance....
But I've taken up British sign language!
It's really fun, and easy. ^_^
I think i'm gonna take up a less popular European language. Languages help you get jobs, and considering I live in Europe, I think a it would be more useful to know one of those rather than Japanese.
*is having fun with BSL*

I talk Chinese. No, not Madarin. Not Cantonese either! My native language is Szechuan! I bet most don't know this Chinese language...
I'm a very fluent French speaker (I'm from Quebec, Canada!). I'm okay in English I guess. I know very little words in Japanese and Korean... XD

Cool! Szechuan.. I think I've heard of it before... but it's cool to know a language like that (obscure).

It's certainly rare. I don't know many people talking this language besides my parents' friends! And some of my sister's friends. Most Chinese people talk Mandarin or Cantonese! It often goes like this...
Person: What nationality are you?
Me: I'm Chinese.
Person: OH! You talk Mandarin or Cantonese?
Me: Um, none. I talk Szechuan...
Person: What?!?
Quite annoying...
I'd love to be able to talk many languages like my father! He talks Szechuan, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Cambodian and English!

I speak Norwegian, English and French. I suppose my Swedish is pretty decent as well!  I know enough Japanese to get around, but I'm far from fluent. Still learning, though!

I really love studying languages, I'll be doing that in the university for some years now. My mother tongue is Finnish (what am I, the 4th Finn here?), I'm fluent in English and pretty good in Swedish. I know the basics of German and would survive in Germany, if not very elegantly... I have also studied Japanese for a couple of months but can't speak it much yet. I know the hiragana and katakana though, and have just started studying kanji.
