Forums - General Discussion - The Impossible Task: 5 Languages

So guys, my name may be VGPolyglot, but I'm in no way a polyglot!! Yes, I do have varying degrees of knowledge in French, Spanish, German, Chinese and Japanese, but I would only really count myself as "knowing" a language when I'm fluent, which I wouldn't really consider for any of the languages, even French which I have a pretty good grasp of. Well, now I'm feeling motivated again. I have already been learning French, Chinese and Japanese at school, but I may want to restart German and Spanish too So guys, is it possible?!? Probably not, but I will slash Spanish and German if I am not able to keep up with the other three languages.

Now, why bring it up here? Well, I want some people to practise with!! If you are knowledgeable in any of these languages, I'd enjoy practising with you guys. Unfortunately VGChartz doesn't allow foreign alphabets in its PMs, so the conversation will have to be elsewhere. I have an account on Discord, you can add me there as that's generally the best way of contacting me. My account there is Oheao#9518. I hope to be able to advance my knowledge in these languages so that I am not a fraud, and can actually call myself VGPolyglot!

I'm currently happy with 2.5 but I hope I can make that 3.5 within the next 20 years.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

2.5 I assume is German, English and .5 Japanese?

Correct. I would consider myself fluent in English but I would love to be fluent in Japanese too. But that will probably only happen if I move to the country or get some Japanese friends. And if I'm done with that I'm gonna tackle a bit of Chinese but I have no desire or illusion to ever be fluent in it.

If we're going for points I'm gonna add a .3 for French because I cannot get that shit out of my head..

Ah, I see. I am probably going to China next year to study for 1 term, so hopefully I can gain a lot while there. As for Japanese, I really need to ramp that up if I want to get fluent in it. Spanish and German are on the backburner themselves, I will cut them if I don't have the time to study them.

Sorry Spurge, I already have many people to practise that with

I could help you with both French and German. Be warned, however, while I *speak* both fluently, I make a lot of spelling mistakes in the latter.



Bet with PeH: 

I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.

Bet with WagnerPaiva:

 

I win if Emmanuel Macron wins the french presidential election May 7th 2017.

That's fine!! Do you have a Discord account? It's easier to communicate that way for me.

Okay, I'll send you a request :)
