• What do I speak? A little bit of everything!

    • ANTIQUE GREEK ALPHABET

      How many languages do I speak? Well? Only one: English.
      Have a general working knowledge of: French, Spanish, Ancient/Classical Greek, and Latin.
      I can also read and understand a fair bit of Portuguese, but I don't have any formal understanding of the grammar, nor can I speak it.
      I imagine that the same would go for Italian if I tried.
      I also know a little ASL, but not enough to carry out a proper conversation with any sort of fluency.
      I started trying to learn Tagalog, but I never got very far with it. The grammar was very interesting though.

      I'd love to learn more someday, but one thing at a time. I'd like to focus on Greek and ASL for now. If and when I can master those, then I can worry about where to go from there.

    I live in the Philippines but my Filipino sucks. A lot of words are obscure and are.. kind of 'buried' and there are no new words. Its dying with the people. Who go to America/Canada in search of a better life.

    Yeah, when languages cease to change and evolve, they often stagnate and die out.I was under the impression that Filipino had picked up (and was still picking up) many words from English and Spanish though and was still very much alive and well. Then again, all my knowledge of it is second-hand and quite possibly out of date.
