A lot of the Eastern European languages are similar enough that they can understand each other, so I think it would be good to know one of them. I wouldn't mind knowing Spanish, too, just to make it easier to communicate with Mexican immigrants. duckduckkristen on "If you could speak another language fluently, which language would it be?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-speak-another-language-fluently-which-language-would-it-be#post-190959 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 07:06:22 +0000 duckduckkristen 190959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Sweet T: the Vietnamese Rosetta Stone is Northern Vietnamese FYI. DH's family is from Saigon so the dialect is different which just confuses me even more. I wish they made a Southern Vietnamese Rosetta Stone! lavender on "If you could speak another language fluently, which language would it be?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-speak-another-language-fluently-which-language-would-it-be#post-190927 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 06:39:10 +0000 lavender 190927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'd love to be fluent in Cantonese, mine is hardly understandable. That and French, right now I'm doing Rosetta stone. lavender on "If you could speak another language fluently, which language would it be?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-speak-another-language-fluently-which-language-would-it-be#post-190925 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 06:38:46 +0000 lavender 190925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Andrea on "If you could speak another language fluently, which language would it be?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-speak-another-language-fluently-which-language-would-it-be#post-190915 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 06:24:18 +0000 Andrea 190915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would like to improve my Mandarin and Cantonese.

Since moving here, my Japanese has gotten much better but I'm not fluent enough yet. I'd definitely like to be able to read and write without having to use a translator.

But I've worked hard in improving it before I left the States, and speak it more fluently now than I had ever been. I should want to learn Swedish ... I do live here, but since I arrived, the language was used to exclude and I find it difficult to get past that. Call me stubborn ... but hopefully by seeing my LO start to speak Swedish it will motivate me more (I can speak it, just not very well). If nothing else mattered, I'd love to speak French. I find the language so beautiful. looch on "If you could speak another language fluently, which language would it be?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-speak-another-language-fluently-which-language-would-it-be#post-190873 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 02:55:21 +0000 looch 190873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ If I had to choose just one, it would be German, for communicating with DH's family. loveisstrange on "If you could speak another language fluently, which language would it be?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-speak-another-language-fluently-which-language-would-it-be#post-190871 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 02:47:55 +0000 loveisstrange 190871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Probably Japanese.

Now I need to add Spanish (I can get by and understand a lot) and Japanese to my arsenal and I'll be happy!

It's my Grandma's first language and I'd love to be able to speak to her with it. She also speaks english but I know she would be ecstatic if I knew Vietnamese. @duckduckkristen: I was thinking about getting Rosetta Stone too. You're the first person I've ever seen post about the Vietnamese version though! photojane on "If you could speak another language fluently, which language would it be?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-speak-another-language-fluently-which-language-would-it-be#post-190572 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 21:09:42 +0000 photojane 190572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ i was decent at spanish after 4 years of it in high school, but now it's pretty much gone. i think i'd love to speak french... for no other reason than it's beautiful. mrsjazz on "If you could speak another language fluently, which language would it be?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-speak-another-language-fluently-which-language-would-it-be#post-190571 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 21:09:26 +0000 mrsjazz 190571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Spanish. I can speak/understand enough for the basics. I read much better than I speak it. My husband and BFF and her family speak Spanish. My husband speaks like a Spaniard but I'm partial to Latin American Spanish because I grew up in NYC and it's what I'm used to hearing.

It's about middle school competency right now. I took Spanish from 4th grade through HS, then CLEP-ed it. I loved it. I've lost some of it, but I don't use it often right now. I'd love to be more fluent in Khmer so that I can communicate better with my in-laws. I know quite a few words and it gets me by, but not enough to understand full sentences or conversations. duckduckkristen on "If you could speak another language fluently, which language would it be?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-speak-another-language-fluently-which-language-would-it-be#post-190403 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:21:36 +0000 duckduckkristen 190403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Vietnamese so I can communicate better with my in-laws and teach it to our children. I tried Rosetta Stone but I'm terrible with the pronunciation!

My job deals with a lot of ESL students (in my last class, 9 out of my 17 students spoke Spanish primarily). My Spanish is getting a lot better just by interacting with my kids and plus, my sister is a Spanish minor in college so I get her to help me. mrs. wagon on "If you could speak another language fluently, which language would it be?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-speak-another-language-fluently-which-language-would-it-be#post-190298 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:05:03 +0000 mrs. wagon 190298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'd love to be fluent in Korean but that will never happen :( I was pretty fluent in French in high school (even spent 2 weeks in France with a French family) but I've lost a lot of it!

But I love the sound of French and think it's such a beautiful language. chopsuey on "If you could speak another language fluently, which language would it be?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-speak-another-language-fluently-which-language-would-it-be#post-190286 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:03:01 +0000 chopsuey 190286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm happy speaking English and Korean fluently.

I would love to be totally fluent (I can't fully understand the Korean news for instance when I watch it). Everyone seems to be studying Spanish and Chinese these days, but for what I do I think I'm fine knowing just English. I'd just like to be able to teach Korean to my kids. What about you?
