DH knows Vietnamese. Our LO will only know the two languages from listening to his grandparents because we don't know them well enough to teach him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-other-languages-do-you-speak#post-480764 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 12:50:32 +0000 shopaholic 480764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mandarin. Some Taiwanese, though my comprehension is a lot better than my actual speaking. Spanish is decent enough to get across what I need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-other-languages-do-you-speak#post-480758 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 12:48:51 +0000 regberadaisy 480758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fluent in Cantonese, mandarin &amp; Fujianese.

I understand Hokkien, but only know a handful of spoken words. So weird! I also took years of Spanish, but my verbal skills are lacking. I do alright reading though. I also can get by with some Khmer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-other-languages-do-you-speak#post-480722 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 12:39:51 +0000 Rescuemom10 480722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can rough it through Spanish. But not nearly as good as I use to be with not using it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-other-languages-do-you-speak#post-480697 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 12:30:38 +0000 tororojo 480697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I speak decent Spanish and would like LO to learn it--comes in pretty handy in TX!

I studied french for six years in grade school, and was pretty fluent when I graduated. Sure wish I hadn't thrown that away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-other-languages-do-you-speak#post-479351 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 20:05:12 +0000 Arden 479351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Albanian and basic German.

What languages will you encourage your LO to learn?</p> <p>I studied French in high school and to get my masters had to prove translation fluency, but that's it. I know that DH really wants LO to learn Spanish when she's older. Living in CA, Spanish would be very useful! </p>
