Feeling a bit inferior when compared to you.Originally posted by rainee:As above..feel free to list them..Dialects can be included. Then say how fluent you are in each.,.
I will start the ball rolling yar
1. Hokkien (definitely the most fluent in this)
2. Mandarin (used to be quite fluent, but since havent spoken for a while, now a bit rusty le)
3. Malay (used to be very fluent in this, but similarly, it is also getting rotten)
4. English (I would like to believe I am fluent in this
)
5. French (Going to intermediate level soon)
I can listen but cannot speak in Cantonese, dunno why
Anyway, I can speak English and Mandarin fluently.
Malay only one word like makan, cuci, mandi.
Dialect will be Hokkien. Can understand Teochew, but can't speak it. Know a bit Cantonese but can't really speak it. -
