If you have a list of languages that you (know how to) speak, what are they - and, which one's are some of your favorites, and why?

I speak American English as my native language, I'm pretty fluent in Italian, and I can read/write fairly well (with help of a dictionary) Spanish and French - some Portuguese, and I can kind of decipher Romanian (though it seems more Slavic than Latin-derived, in my opinion). I know chunks here and there of Chinese and Japanese. I took a year of Chinese in college, but unfortunately I've forgotten most of it.

I do remember most of the grammar I learned though, so I can use a dictionary to compose sentences. I know bits and pieces of a lot of other languages - like some grammar points and nouns of German, the writing systems of Greek and Russian, odd words in Welsh and Ancient Egyptian... etc. But I'm a linguaphile like that (or I guess, to be consistent with Latin/Greek affixes, "glottaphile"), I just kind of absorb bits and pieces of a language. :).

The only foreign language I speak fluently is Spanish. I realized, hey, the United States, Canada and Brazil are the only countries in the hemisphere that DON'T have spanish as the national language. English is actually the minority!

Plus, if I learned French I could only visit like...France, oh and I guess Canada. ¡Viva Español!

I know Malayalam - native language of the Keralites, Bahasa Malaysia - language of the Malaysians, Tamil - native language of the Tamilians, and English of course. Of them all English and Malayalam are one of my favourites. Malayalam is a very soft-spoken language.

The Malayalam language can be said as the morning breeze which easily lullaby you to sleep if done right. The language usually does not have harsh tones. This language is a stark contrast to Telugu another asian Indian language which listeners can tone it to being crude and coarse.

I speak Romanian because it is my native language mahalo.com/answers/society-and-culture/w....

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
