Não é necessário ir viver para um país para ser importante saber outra língua - fluentemente ou apenas um pouco. Basta, por exemplo, irem visitar X país. Muita gente assume que não é necessário saber o mínimo da língua de X país, pois falam Inglês. Sim, é a "língua international", porém há países em que muitas pessoas se insultam quando visitantes criticam o "não saber Inglês" ou a recusa do seu uso, como se esta fosse a obrigação dos nativos. Eu referia-me principalmente a este tipo de pessoas, não aquelas que não visitam outros países e ficam no seu país de nascimento.

(It is not necessary to go live abroad to be important to know another language - fluently or just a little bit. It is just needed to, for example, visit X country. A lot of people assume that it's not necessary to know a minimal of that country's language, because they [visitors] speak English. Yes, it's the "international language", however there are countries in which a lot of people get insulted when visitors criticize the "I don't know English" or the refuse of its use, like if this is the native's obligation. I was mostly referring to these type of people, not those who do not visit any other country and stay in their birth country.)

[quote="Marizzle"][quote="GeminiGemelo"]Si, lo hablo. No tan bien como un hispanohablante nativo pero tengo fluidez por escribir y leer y yo puedo escuchar bien. Un viaje corto a un pais hispano debe mejorar mis habilidades de hablar. Asi yo deciria que tengo fluidez en el idioma sobretodo.

(Yeah, I speak it. Not as well as a native Spanish-speaker but I'm fluent in writing and reading and I can listen well. A short visit to a Hispanic country should better my speaking abilities. So I'd say that I'm fluent in the language overall.)

EDIT: Ninja'd, but true. Guess I'm doing better than 90% of Americans. xD[/quote]
Que guay! Puedes comprender el Português? Estoy preguntando por pura curiosidad.

(That's cool! Can you understand Portuguese? I'm asking out of pure curiosity.)[/quote]

Un poco por escuchar - un vez en cuando yo recojo un par de palabras o una frase. Cuando escrito, sin embargo, yo entiendo mucho. Puedo reconocer mucho de lo que dice en sus "posts" en una situacion normal.

(A little bit by listening - every once in a while I pick up a couple words or a phrase. When written, however, I understand a lot. I can recognize most of what you say in your posts in a normal situation.)

Yes.

Haha! I'd love to be fluent in another language but I know bits and bobs of a few languages.

Eso es muy bueno! Yo pienso que ya pregunté esto, pero cuándo empezaste a aprender el Español?

(That's very good! I think I've already asked this, but when did you start learning Spanish?)

Sprachen lernen ist in jeder Situation wichtig. In Amerika viele verschiedene Sprachen werden von verschiedenen Personen gesprochen, und es ist gut, in etwas anderes dann Englisch zu kommunizieren.

(Learning languages ​​is important in any situation. In America many different languages ​​are spoken by different people, and it's good to communicate in something other than English.)

Concordo a 100%. Faço das tuas palavras, as minhas.

(I agree by 100%. I make your words, my own.)

Il n'y a pas beaucoup de chose à faire ici

Como te percebo! Até já vi séries e filmes para me entreter hoje.

(I know the feeling! I even already watched series and movies to entertain myself today.)
