Bah, I speak one (English), and some Spanish.

I'm interested in learning Japanese, Chinese, and possibly French.

4, 3 of them fluently and one with slight hesitation.

a couple...

English as my native language
enough French to hold a basic conversation
a bit of Spanish (enough to get by if i was on holiday)
a bit of romanian (enough to get by if i was on holiday)

English, German

English and a teense of Italian and Spanish.

One fluently, one decently, and I'm working on learning Finnish. I know a smidge of Icelandic but I suck at spelling Icelandic words correctly.

EDIT:
I forgot to mention that the one I speak decently well is Spanish.

English, Hebrew and a wee bit of French.

As a side note...
"I am fluent in over six million forms of communication, and can readily-"

I speak English, obviously.
I've studied:


French for 6 years.
Spanish for 5 years.
Italian for 1/2 a year.

English, Hebrew and a wee bit of French.

Was the Hebrew language hard to learn?

3 languages fluently. Some others not so fluently.

English, French, and I wanna take up Chinese

English, Laos, French, Chinese, Thai

BAM!

We had this before...

Fluent: Eng
Qualified: French, German, Latin
Itsy-bit: Chinese (Mandarin), Italian,
Used to know: Dwarvish runes.
Learning: Finnish.

As a side note...
"I am fluent in over six million forms of communication, and can readily-"
C-3PO. There are no 6million forms of communication currently existing.(known to man)

Yep (pretty obvious) and yep (exceptionally obvious). Two cookies for you.

Was the Hebrew language hard to learn?

Well, thats kind of a tough question. I would say its not that hard, because I picked it up quickly. Most words have 3 or 4 meanings so its hard to keep up with them all. I won't say its hard, but it still takes alot of effort to learn.

Thank you.
It sounds difficult to me and I wondered if it really was.

Already Learned: English, Spanish(I live in Panama, d'uh!)
Want to learn: Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and German.

Thank you.

Check this link out. Its got a few online lessons if your curious about it.

English - fluently
Spanish - fluently (exept for high level discussions like theorical physics)
French - enough for a short holiday
German - been studying for 1 yr.
Hebrew - very basic knowledge but still learning

No, I don't find Hebrew too difficult. The 2 things that have helped me the most are keeping an open mind on how languages express ideas and try to find similarities with languages you already know. A lot of vocab is completely new, but there is a lot of borrow vocab in Hebrew from modern langauges. The verb system is rather different from European languages, though, due to the changes in vowels depending on tense and person.

English fluently, some french, a bit of Latin (thats dead so i dont know if it counts), and im starting to learn arabic

I can speak/write fluently

English(American)
Arabic(Morrocan)(Egyptian)
French

I can speak and write somewhat good in Spanish
Also learning business Cantonese, Mandarin(2 main chinese languages)

Know enough Portugues and Italian to get me around in either of those countries.

Two, working on a third.

English fluently,
Spanish reasonably (I wouldn't say I'm fluent, but I could definitely make myself understood),
and German okay-ish (I could get by on a holiday, but... that's about it.)

2 fluently (English and Korean) and I can read another (Latin), if not well, since I haven't used Latin since high school.

Right, I've studied -English for 20 years (fluent, I've been studying since birth so one would hope that I would be)
-Irish for 14 years (just about fluent)
-Spanish for 8 years (semi-fluent)
-Italian for 1 year (get by suprisingly well)
-French for 4 years (I'm alright)

English and Spanish. Every thing else --meh

i know 12 languages including english,spanish,german,greek,hebrew,italian,roman,Korean :sniper:

As a Protocol Droid, I am fluent in overt 4 million forms of intergalactic communication, including this primitive dialect to which you refer as English.

i know 12 languages including english,spanish,german,greek,hebrew,italian,roman,Korean :sniper:

wow...thats awsome. good job ;)

Flawless perfect english
Good spanish
decent japanese
passable french
some italian
a bit of german
i can curse in those listed above and:
russian
arabic
portuguese
mandarin
cantonese

English, Danish, German and some Swedish and Norwegan.

That would be about 5!!!

I'm fluent in English, somewhat in French and I'm (actively) learning Italian and Welsh.
I want to learn basically every Romance, Slavic and Celtic language. But remember, that's a want, not a need (or possibility)! ^.^

i know 12 languages including english,spanish,german,greek,hebrew,italian,roman,Korean :sniper:

I have to say you don't, as you list "roman" as a language and insist on using a sniper after your post.

You're not speaking English? :confused:

You're not speaking English? :confused:

:confused:

To what degree? I speak fluent English, probably enough Italian to get by in Italy, and a more or less useless smattering of French, German, Spanish, Polish, and Latin.

English (obviously)

Swahili (almost fluent-ish)
French (can get by happily with a bit of vocab)
German (Bitte schon. That's about it.)

Both English and German fluently, but my grammar in both is a little dodgy ;) :D

I speak Swissgerman, German, French and English fluently, my Italian is pretty good, i speak some Spanish, Thai, Russian, and Rumantsch.
edit: do dead languages count? I was forced to learn Latin and some Old English :D

Arrghh. cram in my fingers.

1. Swedish (born and bred here)
2. English (very good)
3. Serbian (my parents are from there)
4. Somewhat decent german
5. I can understand Norwegian through knowing swedish
6. Croatian (through knowing serbian)

I speak English, Bahasa Melayu, Cantonese, Hokkien... uh... and Klingon.

Quap'lah!! But my Klingon is abit rusty. I have to find for my English - Klingon speaking dictioinary again. Someone buried under my books.

Someone buried under my books.
:eek: you have a dead person underneath your books??

:eek: you have a dead person underneath your books??


*somewhere.. :D

ok lets see..

Romanian (native)
Italian (latin as the romanian language so its easy to speak & understand)
Spanish (same as the above +7 years in school)
English fluently
French i understand it but when it comes to speakin no words come out of my mouth
Turkish i can curse
German basic

wish i knew hungarian swedish and chinese :(

I speak English and Swedish fluently, I can understand Norwegian and Danish, I still know a bit of French from my High School days, and I know bits and pieces of Spanish, Italian, and Japanese.

That's 8, though none but two are complete.

I speak:
English- first language.
Russian- not fluent, but enough to get by
Korean- started not long ago, but i'm getting there. I can read and write it, at least.
Mandarin Chinese- did it in primary school for 6 years, but i don't remember much.
Cantonese Chinese- i can barely speak any, i just learned a bit to see if it was any different from Mandarin.
Icelandic- basic phrases
Romanian- bugger all.

I speak a little English... broken, mainly.
Other than that, I can sometimes translate a few sentences in French, but I can't speak it, myself.
I'd like to learn Latin, Russian, and German, purely so I could insult people in them. They're my three favourite languages for an angry person to speak.

Four years of Latin, five years of French, three years of German… some basic Ancient Greek root words.

Oh, yes, there's English as well. Proper English. Look: "colour".

English... and little bit of French golly thats a pitifull list... meh

English, Dutch(Flemish) and Greek. All fluently.
Wierd mix I know.

Native English, advanced-but-not-quite-fluent Spanish, conversational German, basic French, Irish and Japanese. I started to learn Russian as well, but never really got very far with it.

I speak German as a first language, English fluently (most people I talk to in English don't believe it's my second language :p ), and I can barely read enough French to understand a written text (given a nudge or too). I'm planning to learn French, Esperanto and Spanish at some point, in that order.

English, French, German, some Russian, some Polish, some modern Hebrew, Latin, office Hindu, and just now picking up Spanish (because I moved to a completely Hispanic neighborhood, mostly Salvadorans).

i've learnt greek, latin, french, spanish and mandarin.
but i only speak english.

English, Gaeilge (Irish Gaelic), Lithunaian, Russian and Japanesse

Finnish - Native
English - Fluent
Swedish - They say 6 years is enough, It's not. So Little.

I would want to learn Russian.

More than one. I will learn any language that I need for the purpose that I need. So in business I have learnt two fluently and for holidays I have learnt enough of the language that communication is not too much of a problem.

"How many languages do you speak?"

Three: English, Spanish and Vietnamese, although the last two are rather rusty now.

Dutch native
English quite fluently
German understandable
French understandable using hands and feet
can read Latin
can read a little Greek
know some Italian, Spanish and Japanese words
For a total of 9! :)

English and Mandarin

English, enough French to get by living in France (well, certainly for two months, as I've done that), enough German to get by on holiday. A few random phrases in Spanish.
Want to learn Spanish, Russian and Portuguese.

English and Bad English :D

I speak Portuguese and German as my native languages. I learnt English and French which I speak very good (English better, though). I speak Spanish fine (it is quite similar to Portuguese), and I can make my self understandable in Italian and Dutch.
Finally I can say a few things in Japanese :cool:

English, French, Arabic, Urdu

I only speak 5 languages and am currently learning a 6th.

I speak German as a first language, English fluently (most people I talk to in English don't believe it's my second language :p ),
Not sure about that, your English is probably too good. Ever seen My Fair Lady/Pygmalion? Perfect English is a giveaway.

My first language was German-fluent(no accent)
My second was English-fluent(no accent)
My third was French-fluent(no accent)
My fourth was Spanish-I can get around with it(horrible accent)

English and only a teensy Spanish, enough to start a conversation.......but get lost after that. Used to be more fluent, but let it go.........

Russian (russkiy yazyk) native language
English
Chechen (Noxhiin mott).

I can speak some passable German, Romanian, Bulgarian, and a littler Serbian.

I'm a bilingual illilterate; I can't read nor write in two different languages...

Seriously though, I've had three years of high school German, which means I might be able to stumble through a newspaper article in German, or catch snippets of a conversation, but not much more than that without some serious regular practice.

Arrghh. cram in my fingers.
Does that translate to something in ASCII?

I speak English fluently, I invented an alternate form of English for coded conversations between Conclave (my region) members (inspired by various people's typos, it revolves around adding, omitting or switching letters in random words), I took Spanish in high school but don't remember much of it, and I know about 75 words of Elvish (mostly Quenya, but some Sindarin as well).

I normaly think (and dream) in either portuguese, english or french.
Can communicate in spanish or german if i have to.
Can curse in some more 4 languages but hell if i know what i am saying :p

I speak 2 languages


English and Utter Bollocks ;)

I speak 2 languages


English and Utter Bollocks ;)
Utter Bollocks?

its an english thing ;)

means utter drivel, nonsense etc especially when a tad drunk like I am now ;)

It was 3.
English is primary.

I could speak Polish very well and my Kanto dialect Japanese was pretty good but not fluent. Writing both was adequate but not stellar.

I have pretty much lost the last 2 from disuse.

its an english thing ;)

Like gibberish?

Like gibberish?

More like legible but nonsense.
Think BSing, "stream of conciousness" or Jabberwocky.

Safardic Hebrew, Airamic, Arab, English, Latin, French, Chinese, Japanese, Russian,and Hawiian(dont ask). Yeah a lot I know, but it comes with the job.

As a side note...
"I am fluent in over six million forms of communication, and can readily-"

Star wars freak.

I speak English (duh :rolleyes: ), some Tagalog, and a few words in Thai.

i know 12 languages including english,spanish,german,greek,hebrew,italian,roman,Korean :sniper:

Geezus fucking Christ batman..

What language do you think in though?

4:
English as native
French (enough to hold a conversation)
Latin (enough to translate it fairly well)
Greek (enough to translate it fairly well)

I am also interested in learning Russian, Arabic, and maybe German.

Star wars freak.

This sort of uncalled-for discrimination is exactly why I left out Rodian, Tusken and Yuuzhan Vong from my list of languages. :mad:

First Language: English (American, Northeastern)
Second Language: Spainish (Three years, Mexican)

yopenese-native
spanish-3 years
english-lived in america for 12 years

Fluently, I speak English (American,) Spanish (Northern Spain,) Catalan (Barcelona.)

I'm well qualified in French (Paris,) and Galician.

I'm learning, but suck at, German.

Native: English
Degree Standard: French, German
Basics: Spanish, Italian, Greek, Portuguese

(and I can say 'hello' in Japanese)

I'm fluent in English (all varieties), conversational in Spanish (mainly Latin American), and interested in learning French (probably Caribbean, if it's any different), Russian, German, and Japanese (I can say "hello" and count one through five), although my main interest next would be Russian, I think.

Fluent in English. Very close in Spanish.

I guess I know Greek and Hebrew as well. ;)

I only speak English. But I speak it very well.

i speak english as well as an american can speak the bloody language. i'm very bitter towards it now. i studied french for five years in school, and have forgotten just about all of it. i can read it pretty well and understand it, but i cannot understand it very well when listening to it and i definitely can no longer formulate my own sentances using the grammar and vocabulary. however, i've been studying japanese for....gosh, almost seven years now. i'm pretty fluent in it speaking wise, but i'm still only at about a 4th grade reading level -_-;; if i could have my way, i'd forget english and just speak japanese for the rest of my life

I only speak one fluently, that's English. Studied Spanish for a year in school, so I can have a passable (albeit short) conversation. And I know a seemingly random list of japanese words. Currently though, I'm actually trying to invent a language. It's insanely confusing. :confused:

Dutch, French, English, German (a little)

Fluently 1- English
Hesitant 2- Russian, French
