Anyone bilingual or multilingual? Perhaps, would like to be ....

Posted on Jun 11th, 2008 by Tony : International Philosopher Tony
Hello. Hola. Bonjour. Ni hao. Marhaban. etc ... haha,

I am willing to communicate with any native speakers in any foreign language,
particularly in Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese and Arabic to help me utilize my foreign language skills.

If you are unable to do so, you may teach me a few phrases in your own language. If you're Italian, I could only say Mi chiamo Antonio and a few small, minor phrases. But I would love to
learn more of my own ethnic background [half].

If you would like to learn any, please allow me to help you and I may provide you very wonderful resources in further educating yourself a foreign language. I would love to promote world peace by doing so, and to help you influence others to do the same in cultural awareness in the world.

Please be aware of the years of classroom experience, so you understand my level of communcation:

Spanish       - 5 years in classroom - 4 levels in *academics
French          - 3 years in classrom   - 3 levels in *academics
M. Chinese  -  1 year in classroom  - 1 level in *academics
Arabic            - few night classes       - no current level in *academics

*Academics as in Spanish 4 Honors, French 3 Honors, and Mandarin Chinese 1

Thanks for your support.

Hi Tony!

I came here, guided by Kathy (Kes), and must say, I am impressed. Now I can throw a language at you, you might want to learn one day - how about German?
Let me know, if there are any phrases you want to know.
Again, you inspired me to continue to learn Italien and Spanish.
It is a pleasue to meet you, young man.

Peace

A orale mi amigo! Wow eres muy inteligente con lenguas y por eso te aprecio. Soy bilingue en espanol y en ingles. He aprendido espanol por mas que 7 anos en total por el colegio y la universidad. Me encanta lenguas diferentes! Cuando era joven podia imitar la manera de hablar la gente de todos partes del mundo cuando habla ingles. En el futuro espero que aprender mas lenguas como arabe, japones, china, portugues, aleman, italiano, y frances. La lista es muy larga pero es mi meta antes de morir, jajaja. Mucho gusto Tony, y buenas suerte con todo tu vida.

When I talk to my kids, I often say a word / phrase in the different languages I know [not very well]; e.g. kyon- warum- por que- purqois -why?

Tony, great idea…world peace thru learning languages and the culture of the place.
