Finally! Some Filipinos! anyways, thought i would add to this discussion

 

(Noodles the visayan islands mostly speak ilongo)

 

so on to this:

some Filipino dialects i can understand: Tagalog, ilocano, ilongo

i don't know if i can really say so but a "little" mandarin (Chinese)

and fluent engrish...English.

 

 

I'd like to touch up on another thing, does anyone know anybody who can not know a language but still sorta "understand" it... I don't know if any of you have seen or read the book "I Am David" but theres an example right there.

I've found a lot of people who grow up with bilingual parents can understand their parents language, but if their parents didn't engage them in conversation in that language, they can't speak it. So if your parents shout at you in Tagalog all the time, and you shout back in english, you'll have very little practice in forming utterances in Tagalog, but you can tell what people are saying.

 

Unless you meant having no exposure to the language at all but somehow getting an idea of what's going on anyway? In which case, that could happen through body language probably.

I speak English and ASL (American Sign Language) <3333 Xo0oX

[Guest Duck]

I speak americanese, and i'm barely proficient with english. there's a lot of slang and indigenous british words i'm not familiar with. I can write some japanese, and hope to continue my education on japanese, and hopefully one day speak it as fluently as i can manage, being a southern born, midwest raised american kid and all. I also speak a mild amount of publicly usable Spanish, the rest is swear words and slang i hear tossed around at work.
