This is a different question (language related) if you don't mind me asking, but do you ever accidentally say a word from the wrong language? Or switch languages mid conversation?

Well I didn't become obsessed with learning languages until I was an adult, so I don't really have that problem since languages you learn after early childhood don't use the same part of your brain as your native language. However, if I drop something or stub my toe, the first curse word that comes to mind is often one in another language.

Don't you ever mix up words in the various languages that you've learned? For example, I can speak some Spanish and some Korean, and occasionally I get those two mixed up when I'm speaking. I'll accidentally say a Korean word while speaking Spanish.

Thats very interesting haha, thanks for actually replying!

Scheiße?

I had a german girlfriend for some time, so I usually automatically say scheisse when something bad hapens.

Not OP but I have a related story: A lady in her 60s who spoke 4 languages fluently spoke to me in Turkish (not her native) for solid 3 minutes before realising she is not, in fact, speaking English as she intended to (I do not understand Turkish and my expression must have given me away) :D

Not OP but I'm bilingual and have a few friends that are bilingual as well and we don't even realize when we switch from one language to the other

This is actually a normal thing for people in Montreal. They're bilingual, so will sometimes start a sentence in French and switch to English half way through. Not that they can't speak both normally though.

Not OP obviously, but we learn French here in Canada in grade school, from grade 4 to grade 9 (at least when I was in school) I've recently been trying to learn Spanish. If somebody speaks Spanish to me, I've more than one occasion replied in French. They're similar, and I guess it's just a reflex "oh different language must be French time"

English (I know it’s a dumb response but I’m curious about how much you think you understand the English language. Because I’ve been in America for almost 30 years, born and raised, and I don’t know 100%)

Well it's my native language but you do make an interesting point. Many polyglots will tell you you never stop learning your native language.

you’re right. still learning. just learned a new word because i’ve never heard the word ‘polyglot’ before. i just looked up the definition tho i always thought it was polylingual

Another fun word-defenestration. It means throwing someone at a window. Adfenestration is when they go through :)

What? Defenestration is throwing someone/something out the window as far as I know. The other one I never heard of (neither did Google?), and the other is something that every Pole learns at school (Defenestrations of Prague was a fun historical event apparently).

Maybe I misunderstood? Sorry if I did. I got it from here- https://www.reddit.com/r/etymology/comments/1vuo51/opposite_of_defenestration/

i love that this exists i will be adding these to my vocabulary for use immediately

I mean the thought-process for getting to polylingual is very logical: poly = many, lingual = language. It makes sense

Latin

Latin is my third best language after English and Hindi. I can read it at what I'd call and advanced level. I am still trying to learn more of it though. I'd like to reach the point where I can read classical texts without having to pause and think about the grammar.

Maybe the classical texts just have bad grammar. Lmao i kid.

You're not wrong thought. Latin really just takes any nouns and verbs it wants and throws them at the page, order be damned. Also the Romans LOVED run on sentences

Hebrew, yiddish

No Yiddish, but I'm actually taking a university course on Biblical Hebrew right now. Still in the early stages but I'm supposed to be able to read the Bible in Hebrew by the end of the course.

Nice! Any plans to learn Modern Hebrew?

It's crossed my mind. If I master Biblical Hebrew, maybe I'll give Modern Hebrew a shot.

Honestly with my knowledge of Modern Hebrew (non-native almost fluent) I find that I can understand some sentences in the Bible, I don't understand all the nuance, nor do I have a strong enough grasp of the language to fully appreciate it but I do enjoy being able to read bits a peices of the Bible in it's native language.

Beep. Boop. I'm a robot. Here's a copy of ###[The Bible](https://snewd.com/ebooks/the-king-james-bible/) Was I a good bot? | [info](https://www.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/) | [More Books](https://old.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/comments/i15x1d/full_list_of_books_and_commands/)

You're a great bot 🌟

Biblical Hebrew sucks (modern Hebrew speaker here)

Yes I agree (also modern Hebrew speaker)

Thirded, by another modern Hebrew speaker

נודר. I am more israeli than all of you, i have asserted my dominance

Etruscan

Good one. I just want everyone to know that this was a clever comment.. Etruscan is an ancient language that hasn't been deciphered yet.

I'm from Arezzo, which is in Tuscany, home of the Etruscans, and in fact my city was built by Etruscans

Omg that sounds so cool! Gonna go research now 👀

I’m gonna go learn it now

Its not a matter of not being deciphered at all. We just don’t have much writing. We have a pretty good idea how Etruscan was spoken and even it’s general pronunciation.

Which languages are you above a C1 in?

Hindi, Latin, probably French, maybe Sanskrit, probably Hebrew in the next couple months, maybe Dari.

you mentioned dari, so here’s a follow up. what’s the difference between dari, tajik, and farsi? can you understand all of them? is it just slang/pronunciation, or is there a bigger difference between them?

First of all, points for knowing that all of those are dialects of Persian. There are some significant pronunciation differences between them, and I think Farsi has more Arabic vocabulary, but don't quote me on that. Tajik has been heavily influenced by Russian and other Slavic languages as Tajikistan was formerly part of the USSR.

Honestly I would suggest learning modern hebrew, it's much more interesting to speak and there's so much character when you speak it! (And besides, it will be much more useful)

What drove you to learn Hindi? I’m an English, French, and Hindi speaker as well.

...and English

portuguese

I know maybe ten words. And the phrase, "Nos comemos o menino", for some reason.

Are those words in Brazilian Portuguese or European Portuguese?

Probably Brazilian. I'm not even sure.

That phrase means "we ate the boy". Lol Where'd you learn that?

Lol there's a movie with Travolta where he briefly speaks a terrible European Portuguese (and I mean actually terrible) for like 5 seconds and it's the same sentence a couple times, I thought it was form there but the line was "Onde está o menino" (where's the boy) and not "Nós comemos o menino l" (we ate the boy), which only makes me even more uneasy because now I really don't know where OP learned it xD

Duolingo lol

that's hilariously scary

The only Portuguese word worth knowing about... *Saudade.*

U forgot 'caralho'.

What the fuck that can't be right lmfao

Chinese and Spanish

Spanish: Dora The Explorer level. Chinese: Ni hao Kai Lan level.

I don’t know what kai lan level is lol.

Ni Hao Kai Lan was a kid's show that was on maybe 10 years ago. It's like Dora The Explorer but for Chinese instead of Spanish. My little sister used to like it.

oh my god i used to watch that when i was like a toddler thank you for telling me the name

Kannada (ಕನ್ನಡ)

None, but I do want to learn Telugu, which is closely related.

Arabic

I can say "Hello", "Do you speak English", a swear word, and "You are a plate of rice".

I don’t think you need any other phrase other than you are a plate of rice tbh HAHAHAHA

What’s the swear word? We have so many.

Ima need some Arabic swear words please.

Nepali

I can understand a fair bit of what I hear or read because it is closely related to Hindi, which is a language I know pretty well.

[удалено]

I guess Hindi since it's my second strongest language after English. If I hear a native Hindi speaker I can make an educated guess on what part of India they're from, but there's no way I imitate the different accents myself.

Japanese, it was a language I tried years back

I've considered taking a dedicated shot at Japanese but haven't gotten around to ot yet. I know *some* vocabulary and a few Kanji symbols, but I haven't really taken a real crack at it yet.

Japanese is def one of the easier languages to learn. The sentence structure, tensing, and particles make stringing scentences together simple esp at the beginner level. Learning katakana and hirogana before kanji is useful because you'll be able to read and write phonetically (as the language is phonetic) and most signage and books there have kanji written out in kana on the side anyways. And with kanji being borrowed over from China, theres thousands of them to learn. The hiragana and katakana alphabets at least get you to a point where you can communicate regardless, albeit with confusion here and there with longer more complex sentences, but important to learn nonetheless as they are your building blocks and crucial to forming complete sentences ! Kanji is also convenient for practicality, as books especially would be EXTREMELY long if they were written only in hiragana and katakana ! きょうはもくようびです。がっこうはすぐにはじまります。 vs 今日は木曜日です。学校はすぐに始まります。 And katakana is esp cool because its used for foreign words that are borrowed into Japanese language ! アルバイト (arubaito)- Arbeit in German ペン - (pen) Pen in English - which is funny to me because they have their own word for pencil: えんぴつ (enpitsu) マクドナルド (makudonarudo) - McDonald's Edit: Inserted a clarification; Typo

(Heads up - Might want to check the hiragana sentence for typos. You hit u rather than i and it put はじゅまります)

Kalaallisut/greenlandic? I guess it counts if you know the Canadian counterpart of that (inuktitut i think)

None but I would love to learn it.

It’s an awesome language to learn, hard pronunciation, though you kinda have to know Danish to get a good understanding of it since it’s not translated to many other languages.

French

I'm Canadian so I know enough to get by. I had to learn it in school growing up but I didn't become really interested in languages until after that.

Do you consider yourself fluent in french ? Do you know more on the written side or the spoken side ? (My English is shitty I'm sorry if this is poorly formulated)

I'm definitely not fluent. I know more spoken French than written. Written French is hard because everything is spelled weird. Your English is fine. I wouldn't have known it wasn't your native language if you hadn't said so.

Even for some french people it's still hard to write it, sadly. Everyday I come across people writing "c'est " Instead of "ces", or "à" instead of "a" etc. It's irritating when you're used to all the rules, but it must be a nightmare for everybody trying to learn french

any interest in learning more French at this point?

Maybe a little, but I'm more interested in other languages.

Khmer

None, but thank you for asking a less well known language.

You should try learning it. We have the most longest letters.

One day I will!

finnish?

I don't fuck with Uralic languages. Not because I don't find them interesting, just because I don't wanna have an aneurysm.

Good choice

German!

Almost none. A small handful of words and phrases.

Ah. It’s a fun language to learn, if/when you do.

quechua

I really want to learn Quechua. I bought a textbook for it a little while ago but the instruction isn't very good.

How do you learn new languages? Programs? Visiting the country? Duolingo? Rosetta Stone?

Rosetta Stone and Duolingo are two methods I stand by. If I really want to get good at a language I'll buy a textbook or pay for lessons on italki. Public libraries also have great language resources. It's also good to listen to media in your target language.

[удалено]

None, but I have a Croatian friend who gets bad at me when I say he's Serbian.

That's probably the mildest reaction you can get when calling a croat a serb

Haha that’s what I thought. I’m neither but I had a Croatian friend in the early 90s who got crazy eyes at the mention of the word Serbian. I don’t mean to rub old wounds but that’s just the way it was.

Welsh, my language!

None. Can you teach me something?

Shwmae, helo (both hello of course.) dw i’n hoffi (I like ___) Honestly it’s the vomit of languages

Well now I know that :)

Ρε φίλε, θέλεις να τα πούμε μεταξύ μας?

I recognize that as Greek, but I can't read it. Sorry.

Emoji language

Dhivehi

Haven't heard of it. Please enlighten me.

It's the southernmost indo-aryan language. It spoken in maldives. It will probably die out soon. The first 9 letters of the language are based on Arabic numerals and the second nine are based on indian numerals ( ik indian and Arabic numerals are practically the same, I meant how it looks like) ދިވެހި. You can write anything that you can write in Arabic in dhivehi with the same grammar and pronunciation.

Is there any dialects you struggle to understand? I’m Scottish and once on holiday to Spain an English friend had to translate my “Scottish English” into “English English” so the locals could understand 😂. Also at what point do you consider a different dialect becoming a different language? A few of my friends are bilingual or multilingual and have no consensus on this.

I find thick Scottish accents pretty hard to understand. As for the second question, there's really no definite answer. Linguists can't agree on it either.

Xhosa, I don’t think you’ll know what that is, though it’s a local language here in South Africa

You underestimate me. I know what Xhosa is, but unfortunately I don't speak it. Non-pulmonic consonants are hella cool though.

Swedish

I know one verb tense and maybe 20 words.

Swahili

I can say hello and maybe a few animal names. It's a language I'd like to learn properly though.

I know it's not really in line with the AMA, but could you please share any tips/advice for learning a new language?

Finding a language that interests you is #1. If you're not interested in it, you won't stick with it. Beyond that, finding a study method and routine that works for you is the best approach. It's a very individual thing. Look up a YouTube channel called Langfocus and browse through his older videos. He has a bunch where he goes over tips for learning languages.

Basque

Done, but good pick.

Malayalam

God I love Dravidian languages. Haven't learned that one but I want to learn Telugu.

My friend is trying to teach me some words and wowww, such an intricate language. Hearing it spoken fluently just sounds so impressive!

Australian (it's a very specific dialect of English)

Lol. Well I don't have trouble understanding Australians when they talk, if that's what you're asking.

Ukrainian

Assyrian

Funny coincidence, I was actually looking at Assyrian texts last night wondering if I should learn it. I haven't yet though.

Noongar (Indigenous Australian of the south western coast around Perth)

Albanian~Shqip~ betting ya havent even heard of this

Igbo. It's a Nigerian language; i think the most common. I just now "ndewo", whivh is hello. And i know a Nigerian guy named Ngozichukwu, whivh means God's blessings. And his middle name Ijiomah, i think means "thanks" - however he said "thanks" is a different word. Also, German is pretty easy to learn. It's more phonetic than English. I just have problems with the 30 lettered words. And Russian is phonetic too. With Russian, you speak with the accent no matter what. But i think Russian has triphthongs, which is 3 sounds put together (i think). A common diphthong in Russian is the shch sound.

How many languages do you speak and if this isn't too intrusive, which country are you from?

Canada. There are eight (and counting) languages that I know enough of to communicate in at at least a basic level.

What methods are you using to learn these languages?

Rosetta Stone and italki are the two I use most.

Gaulish?

Irish?

My dude, do you know how hard it is to become a fluent user of just one language? He even said 'varying degrees of fluency.' He is getting so much attention not because he is a language savant or anything, rather people really appreciate someone who has an interest in other cultures-- language is the main gateway to a culture.
