Languages and Culture Cultural Backgrounds

I've got British, French, Scotish and Irish in me.

So in other words, I have one former world superpower, one secondary world power close in power to the first which produced that lovely bugger Napolean, and two hardcore drinkers.

So basically I'm a drunken megalomaniac.

I'm awesome.

 

I'm 4/4 polish ;P(I think so...)
I can speak english, and i should say that i can speak german, because i've been learning it for 3 years but I really no good at it, and of course Polish.
In the next year, i'm going to start learn French or Spanish.

I'm really surprise ! So many 'Poles' here ;P

 

*looks around* what? no chinese people?

im full chinese though im not fluent in my language (cantonese). i know enough to talk to my family though. i speak fluent english, born and raised in america and all. and i've been learning german for 3 years at school. easy as cheese.

As for languages, I can speak fluent English, semi-fluent American, semi-fluent German (four years of schooling), a bit of Japanese (one year of schooling), and a bit of Russian (one year of schooling). I know a few words in each of Spanish, French, and ASL.

 

I'm almost totally italian, (roots in Genova, the Abruzzi and Puglia-Basilicata), and some mestizo american from argentina (my great grandfather was a gaucho). I live in argentina, and have both argentinian and italian nationalities. Also some of my familiy, although italian have its roots on the spanish troopers from Charles V of Germany and I of spain that took control of italy back in the 16th century. And also some relatives say that some etruscan people is mixed as well.

I can speak english fluently, spanish is my native language, and also can speak german very well. I can speak some italian and portuguese as well.

 

Chinese, Mainland that is. Born in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. Lived in Sweden for almost..14-15 years now.

I want to learn Greek, since I was born there.

 

I'm mostly Irish, and I'm also part Cherokee. I could also have some gypsy blood in me too, but I'm not sure.

 

I'm a New Zealander, but my cultural heritage is

Scottish, English, Irish, German, Russian and a tiny bit of jewish (possibly) which supposedly belongs to my great grandmother. However that may not be accurate.

English is my native laungage, and i have BASIC understanding of japanese.
