There have been threads on how old people are, people's sexual preference, and what gender people are. So this thread is unavoidable.

Where are you people from?

What language(s) do you speak?

I was born in Southern California , but am partially Macedonian (look it up), and I speak English, Macedonian, and am learning Latin (I don't know why....it sounded like a cool thing to do)

Born and raised in Southern California, USA. Obviously, I was raised learning English, though, at the moment, I am learning Spanish 2 at high school (i will be a freshman there when summer ends) and at home, I am learning Mandarin Chinese (fucking hard). My dad is Japanese and my mom is Taiwanese. I know very few phrases in Japanese (for example, regularly, me and my family say "Itadakimasu" before we eat)

I've lived in California/USA all my life and I speak English (Californian accent), a little bit of Spanish, an extremely tiny bit of Russian, and an assortment of computer programming languages.

I speak English with a Midwestern American accent: an average Yankee gringo. I know a few words and phrases in French, German, and Spanish, only a word or two in Danish, Romanian and Russian.


I'll create another "language translation thread" where we can all (hopefully) help and teach one another.

As my avatar and title suggest, I was born and raised in my native homeland. That just happens to be in the United States, more specificly the west coast of Washington State. My first language is english, with a heavypacific north western accent, and I can speak a semi-jargon of spanish/english. I am learning Quniault though, its a little hard cause it's almost completely dead.

Southern California (best place in the world BTW...). English (in the sense that I can talk... I suck at spelling... always have) and learning spanish. Spanish can be very useful in So Cal, so I thought might as well find out what they are saying behind the counter at BK.

I was born in Chicago, moved to San Diego about a year ago.
I am:
50% Japanese
25% Italian
12.5% German
Woot axis of evil! oh wait...
12.5% Norwegian.
Oh well.
I can speak English quite fluently unless I am horribly tired, in which I speak the language of the zombie. I can speak a little bit of Japanese, but not much. Enough to get around town, not to make an actual conversation that didn't suck.

3/4 Serbian.
1/4 Croatian.

I speak.
Serbian.
Croatian.
Bosnian.
Montenegrian.

English.
German. (not much, but I think I would find my way out if I was lost somewhere in Germany)
And I am willing to learn Japanese. And probably will in a few years.

The bold languages are almost the same, I just like to point it out, because the whole Balkan is fucking stupid, can't name 1 language.

Born in Hartford, Connecticut, my family moved to Florida when I was 11, now I'm 15. And I fucking hate it. My Dad's a second generation Sicilian, my grandparents are from Corleone and Melili, Sicily. My Mom is half Chinese, her Dad's from the Kowloon province, near Hong Kong. The other half is from Lousiana, and various western European countires.

I was born in Bulgaria, and have lived here all my life. I've never gone out of the country so its the only place I've ever known. I speak Bulgarian, I learned English when I was about 8 years old (from watching TV mainly), and now speak it quite well. Recently, I began studying German, and I have to admit, its hard. So thats basically it.
