Speak (well, write) another language

Speak another language than English?
What is it? What does it look like? Know any songs or poems or stories?

Share! (and translate!)


NO discussions! Pleeeease. Just have fun!

(PS: I know the rules say use mostly English, so if the mods feel it's difficult to , eh, mod, this, then just delete the thread)

I speak English, and wanted to know a different language, but could not grasp it. Mostly Spanish! Not to long ago though, I have found interest in speaking Hebrew..in which I have been able to learn some, especially by singing it!

Chinese tongue twister is very simple and short. It has only 3 sentences:
妈 妈 骑 马
mā ma qí mǎ
Mother is riding a horse.

马 慢
mǎ màn
The horse is moving slowly.

妈 妈 骂 马
mā ma mà mǎ
Mother scolds the horse.

I speak a little Chinese Mandarin I forgot another tongue twister but this one I sort of remembered.

Good on you sandy Hebrew sounds beautiful because of that it would be fun to learn. I tried learning it its difficult to pronounce.

My fav bible verse our life is not perfect yet will I will praise him : Habakkuk

I dabble in Vietnamese. French Missionaries gave them their written language based on their tonal speaking.

I would love to be frequent in Spanish.

I always have been attracted to language's.

that's some collection of languages Willie

missy: now that's a language I'll never learn. What the sign for God?

I speak Spanish. I grew up speaking it along with English. My dad and grandma only speak Spanish so it was pretty easy to learn.

Nosotros amamos, porque El nos amó primero.

We love because He first loved us.

1 John 4:19

I was born in Vietnam, I spoke English, Vietnamese and French by the time I was 5. I came to the US a few years later and lost the Vietnamese and French language. So now I only speak English.....I really should learn some Vietnamese, I would like to go back and visit in a few years.

aww, I hope you're able to go back there.

I speak a tiny bit of Armenian and French. English is my most fluent language, then Arabic and then Hebrew.

I can't write/read the Armenian script, but in Western Armenian you can say hello, how are you? Like this: Parev, inch beses?
French: Bonjour, ça va?
Arabic: مرحبا كيف حالك؟
Hebrew: היי מה קורה?

Here is a fun tongue twister in Arabic: هذا المشمش مش من مشمشتنا .. Transliterated into English letters: hada el mishmish mish men mishmishetna.. LOL, and it means: This apricot didn't come from our apricot tree.

Hebrew tongue twister: (This is actually a verse from the Bible, Genesis 49:19) גד גדוד יגודנו והוא יגוד עקב - gad gidoud yigoudenu, v'hu yagoud akev ... I like the way the NASB renders it: ""As for Gad, raiders shall raid him, But he will raid at their heels."


Languages are amazing, I love learning languages and talking about them. God bless you all.

Interesting. I don't think I've come across Armenian before. I looked it up to find the script, quite impossible to read for a non- native

and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Crist is Lord to the glory of God the father .... (philippians 2 : 11)
すべての口が、ｲｴｽ｡ ｸﾘｽは主であると告白して、父な� �神がほめたたえられるためです。。� ��。。。。。。。。。ピリピ２．１１

subete no kuchi ga Iesukuristo hashu de aru to kokunaku shite chichi naru kami ga hometa taerareru tame des (piripi 2;11)

y toda lengua confiese que Jesucristo es el Señor , para gloria de Dios padre ... (filipenses 2; 11)

いつさいのことを愛をもつて行いなさい。。。１コリント　１６．１４
itsusai no koto wo ai wo motsute okonai nasai ..1.korinto 16: 14
let all that you do be done with love ....1 corinthians 16 : 14
todos os vossos atos sejam feitos com amor 1 corintios 16: 14
todas vuestras cosas sean hechas con amor... 1corintios 16;14

1corinthias 16;14 in japanese,english,portuguese,spanish

My head... spinning
