Title: azul, what languages do you speak?
Post by: Heinrich Elisa on January 26, 2026, 09:02:01 AM
Personally, I speak Spanish, English, I was learning Esperanto and now I like to try the talossan. I really like conlangs :D

I'm only fluent in German and English. I can read and write Talossan well, but I can't speak it conversationally yet.

Aside from that, I mostly dabble with constructed or ancient languages like Interlingua, Ithkuil, Sumerian, or what have you.

None fluently but I can get by with English. I know a few words in Talossan, Spanish, French and German but not enough to effectively communicate

You're being too modest. If I, as someone who only started learning English at age 8 and has never set foot in an English-speaking country in his life, count as fluent, then you definitely do as well.

I am enjoying learning about New Ikthuil. The intent behind it is laudable.
And Esperanto, so far, is the only language other than English that I've been able to use in thought.

Polish and German interest me a lot. I know some basic German, but I don't know anything about Polish, although I find it beautiful when written.

Natively, I speak English, I have a good command of French and German, some knowledge of Modern Greek and Hebrew, and I also studied Ancient Egyptian for a little bit (and obviously I'm studying Talossan and Latin).

Native English speaker, took several years of French in high school (still got it to an extent, even if I'm very rusty) and minored in Russian Language & Culture in undergrad.

Other than that, some dabbling in conlangs such as Talossan (of course), Esperanto, and Finnish. Recently begun trying to pick up basic Catalan as well.

Because I've had it at school for four years and still don't know anything (+ it's hard).
I mean I don't study for it at all.

It's a really cool but under appreciated language. A lot harder than many other Austronesian languages, but I will always love how melodic it is.

I went to a bilingual highschool and they taught us latin there but didn't care for it at the time. Later I only studied latin enough to understand Monty Python's Life of Brian's jokes.

I did around 75% of the italian course in Duolingo and was able to translate (with the help of Adobe Premiere AI capabilities) a full italian documentary from a guy who came to my school and his translator said it was very good so my ego was through the roof that day.
Did a whole year studying french but not listening to enough movies and music in French made me forget a lot of it. Also often mistake it for italian.

English is taught at my city public and private schools since age 3 so it's kind of common, being so close to USA.

I'm Roman Catholic indeed but that does not play a role, I'm on my school's music profile so therefore I have to take Latin. If I would've chosen the economic profile I could choose between either Latin or French.

I can only speak Italian and English, though I've taken a short A1.2-level German course last semester, after dabbling with it on and off for years (not counting three years in middle school ages ago), and I've been surprised at how I can actually understand quite a bit of written and spoken stuff now. I'm really hoping there will be an A2.1-level course next semester; can't wait to get back to learning.

If I could learn whatever language I wanted without caring about whether it was particularly useful to me, I'd probably try with Dutch or Portuguese next.

Of course, I consider myself as a Talossan speaker as well, though I was better at it when I was actively developing L'Översteir, just through increased exposure.

French (native) and English. I forgot all German I learnt at school. I started many other languages which I abandoned after 20 pages (mandarin, swedish, italian, afrikaans, wolof). I still have the books. I'd like to start learning Toki Pona, anyone did ?

English, a little French, and I have Latin and Greek academically (and did have some Middle Egyptian)

Spanish (native), English (work), Italian (certified B2).

I formally studied (5 years spread in) French, Arabic, and Korean, and spent at least a semester doing Hebrew, German, and Esperanto each. That must have been a lifetime ago, as I can now barely read Arabic and Korean. Funnily enough, I think I can read modern Greek even if I don't know any.
