I don't know my Hmong alphabet. O__O
But I'm practicing a bit of it once in a while. That's not good, but so what. Ha, ha.
  • Took a year of French, I'm good at it - but I forgot most of it. >__<
  • Took three years of Spanish, I'm good at it - but I forgot mosto f it.
  • Still trying to teach myself Thai, but I'm surviving - thank god!
  • Hmong, I can read and write, I just don't know my alphabet.
  • English - it was too easy, have to agree with me, right? ^__^

Primary language spoken is Laotian - only speak, and minor reading

English - read, write, speak

Thai - [picked it up when i was obsessed with some dude] read, write, speak

Italian - [school] - minor reading/writing/speaking

And then i try to pick up some phrases here and there in Khmer & Spanish

Haha Icey, you ain't need to be online and typing the online way if you can't spell English that well. Internet is corrupting your english skills!!

:D Anyways, umm...the language my mom speaks...
I only speak a little of it. I used to be really good, but I'm trying to forget it :D And so far so good.
I can't read or write it, though I can learn it all in a day probably, but I'm not trying and I don't want to learn it.

I can read and write in english! :D But I can't speak lol jk Umm...yeahhh.

I'm learning Thai but it's not going that great... :D I can read it! But I can't write or understand what I'm reading. haha ^__^

i was born n raised in France

So i speak, read n write French lol
English : hhmm i use it here with all of u sexy ppl lol
Spanish : 13 years of learning (at school)
Italian : 9 years of italian (at school)
Vietnamese : i'm a beginner, so still learning (it doesn't improve much haha, i'm too lazy n dumb)
Lao : i can read, speak n write it. I learned it at the same time i learned French in kindergarten. My best coach for reading were lao propaganda newspapers (not very nice n very political), but efficient lol
Thai : i can read, speak n write it. I spoke it as my second language after lao, n french was only my third language. I remember when i entered kindergarten, when kiddos were singing french songs, i was singing Bird Thongchai's song (555). Then i learned to write n read it when i was in primary school. My teacher? Thai magazines, so THANK YOU Daraya Papayon lol.

I'm Mein-Speak, can't write, or read.

Thai-Speak, read and write because of watching Thai lakorns and chatting with Thai people.

Spanish-Speak, read, write

English-Speak, read, write.



For those of you who doesn't know what Mien is, it's just a language mostly mixed with Thai words, chinese, maybe. We don't have a country, we came from Thailand/Lao...Are last names are either Saechao, Saelee, Saephan, Saeturn, etc... The ending parts of our last name is in Chinese, but for some reason, Sae was added... Our Mien names are like Chinese too. Like mine, Leaw.

I don't know chinese, but I'll make a sentence in Mien that has Thai in it...

Yia oye ming hongnam... hongnarm part is in Thai...

Spanish: speak, read, and write..took it for two years..
korean: can ONLY understand..sucks...I tried learning how to read and write but don't know where to start...try speaking it..but..it's not that easy
Japanese: can understand and speak a little..forget reading and writing, there's too many...

I'm also trying to learn mandarin..at least understand it..but it's not as easy as the other languages that I've learned...with Mandarin, I have NO idea where to start...

I LOVE learning new/different languages!!!
 
Cambodian:
Write - Only know how to spell my name.
Read - Somewhat
Language - Somewhat
English - hook on PHONICS!!!
