Get Linguistic! (Newbies welcome - International)

My mother tongue is Spanish. I stayed in the UK for 10 years so pretty fluent in English. I have lived in Germany too and I can speak Polish (intermediate level) and some Hebrew and French. I am keen to learn any other language!

Hello hello! I'm from Germany and that includes that my mother tounge is German as well. : ) I study English since 11 & Frensh since 3 years. Yes. That's it. I l o v e to get to know new languages! : )

@Canariangal78 : Thanks for inviting me to your swap. :o)

I love languages and I have already quite a few I can speak fluently :o) Concerning my "linguistic" background : My mother tongues are Dutch and French. I have an interpreter's degree in English and Italian, so those are already covered too. The love of my life is Spanish, therefor I am now on an intermediate level of the language of Cervantes. I studied German for 4 years but it never really appealed to me (sorry Erdbeersternchen), took Swedish courses for a year (love the sound of that language but forgot almost everything about it) and I am currently trying to master the kanji of the Japanese language (sloooow progress!). I think that it's pretty obvious that I like languages ... whatever the language that my partner will teach me, I'll be thrilled !

Great idea! It's on my watchlist! My mothertongue is Dutch.

My mother tongue is Hebrew. I manage in English, spanish, French, Bulgarien. I know a little Arabic. I want to learn Esperanto.....

My mothertongue is English and I am intermediate in Spanish.

I love languages and am excited about this!!!

My mother tongue is Finnish, I speak fluent English and I'm working on my Swedish skills by living in the country. :D I took German lessons for 5 years, too. :)

My mother tongue is English, and I'm proficient in French (was taught) and Spanish (my mother is from Peru). I really, really want to learn Chinese (Cantonese) -- but more than anything, I want to learn Italian! ♥

I will write my partners' letters in English. I can teach Hawai'ian and Japanese. I am currently studying Italian.

I'm from Finland, so Finnish is my mother tongue. I also speak English, Swedish and Estonian more or less. I'm currently taking Russian lessons and studying Northern Sami by myself. Of all the languages I've studied in the past I still remember some basics of Spanish and German. I love languages and I'm especially interested in small languages. :)

Hello!

My mother tongue is Italian. I can speak fluent English and Portuguese. I know fairly well French. I took German for 5 years but it's a bit rusty now because I don't have the chance to use it often. I took a year of Russian but I know very little of it.

I can't list the languages I would love to learn because it would be an endless list..Finnish and Hebrew sounds fascinating for example, Greek and Hungarian have a weird sound and what about an Oriental language??

I'd love to learn Finnish :)

I'm fluent in Cantonese, English and Bahasa Malaysia. I can do some Mandarin but nothing fancy.

Interested to learn alot of other language but this would have to depends on the partner I get :)

My mother tongue is Tibetan and I speak and write fluent English, and only speak in Hindi. I am learning Korean now.

I'm Malaysian and my mother tongue is Malay (Bahasa). Colonized by Britain makes me fluent in English. Took Arabic in high school makes me know some about the language. Took mandarin in University (and watch some dramas) makes me speaks and understand a little bit. Lived in Francophone country makes me speaks French. Be friends with Indonesian makes me fluent their language. Now residing in the Netherlands and catching up Dutch :-)

I wish to learn Italian/Japanese

My mother tongue is English. I also know conversational/beginners Russian. I took a couple courses in Spanish, but I haven't been able to retain much of what I learned. I would like to learn Japanese.

i'm a native english speaker from the US. i've studied a bunch of languages on the elementary level (one or two semesters) in german, latin, chinese and russian. but i have decided to major in japanese at my university :) i am a 2nd year student. it's by far

if i had my way, i'd learn every language in the world :P i am also a linguistics minor/possible double major, so unusual languages are really fascinating to me!

my family is also pennsylvania dutch, speaking a dying language that i would love to share :) i cannot speak it really, but i can understand it a bit.

love, ery

whoops, i forgot to finish:

*it's by far the most beloved of my language experiences!

silly me

My mother tongue is English, and I speak fluent Portuguese, and have some Spanish and a little German.

I am interested in learning any language; however, I am particularly interested in French, Russian, Japanese, Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, Italian, Hindustani/Hindi-Urdu. I would also welcome opportunities to practice my existing languages.

I speak mandarin, english and malay fluently, and i understand cantonese. Learnin japanese on my own during sem breaks. Would love to learn other languages as long as i dont hv to twist my tongue often =p

It's great to see people joining with such an interesting combination of languages!

I am looking forward to this swap and the surprise element of not knowing until the system assigns partners at the last minute which languages we will learn :)

I speak English, both American and British and yes, there is a difference. I learned a little French in high school, 4 different teachers in four different years, one of whom only seemed to want to teach us French drinking songs...not my glass of Bordeaux, so to speak. I lived in New Mexico for 14 years and learned to speak/understand the local Mex-Tex but have fallen out of practice. I love languages and would love to become conversant in French, Hebrew (I know a smattering of that) and Spanish. I think it would rock to learn Latin, Greek and Aramaic but feel that living languages might be more practical although reading the books of the Bible, Homer and Socrates in the original language would be awesome. I also would love to learn to speak Elven, the fact that Tolkien devised his own language is amazing. Welsh also seems intriguing but any language is incredible in its' own right.

I was born and raised in America, so its my primarily language. I love languages, but I'm not so good at them! I would call myself a beginner at Spanish and a pre-beginner at French. I took 3+ years of Spanish in high school and college and can express myself very very limitedly. Dialects intrigue me. French I've wanted to learn for a long time... but lack motivation it seems. A little motivation would be cool! lol I know 1 word of Greek, a handful of Swedish, and took 4 years of Latin.

I meant to add - anyone want a hodge podge? :D

Hi everyone! I just realized I have nothing small that I can send because Bulgarian stuff is so hard to find! :( Sadly, I can't go on with this swap, but I can still send you a letter if you want me to!

I speak Bulgarian, Macedonian, German and English so just let me know:)

Hi! I speak English primarily, since I live in England! I can speak beginner's Spanish, along with some basic German and a little Russian, and about 10 words in French!

Hello everybody! partners have been assigned :0) Apologies for the slight delay due to not having Internet connection at home these days because of the horrendous weather. Enjoy thoroughly the swap!

Hi there! I am a native speaker of English, and fluent in Spanish. I know some French, and I took German for two years in high school (very rusty). I take Japanese at the junior college, but my progress is sloooooow. I still love it. I would be happy to learn Japanese or any other language that my partner would like to teach.
