How Many Languages do you speak? (Now under new management)

[Grimey]

I speak English, Canadian, and a little french

[Rookie64]

I understand body language real well 8)




a little Italian, German, French and sometimes English


I can speak it somewhat or understand it verbally, but not so much written, though I clearly recognize the distinctions between a number of different languages and can tell you what the language is instantly.


For reading it or writing it though, I usually need a translator...and for American English, a spell checker would come in handy

One. This should be a poll.

Does it matter how many you can speak fluently? I can really only speak American fluently, though after being in the British Isles for more than a day my Scottish will come back to me. That's pretty much a different language altogether.

I can read/write and speak German and Italian pretty well. I can speak Russian and Japanese pretty well and can read/write some Cyrillic but not all that much as when I was taking Russian in college. I have a pretty limited vocabulary in French and Spanish from travelling. I also know Latin to an extent, I used to study etymology a bit.

Speak fluent english. Still learning spanish in school(overall 4 years of learning it). Can understand 75% of Visaya (filipino dialect). Story is that I was born here in the US, learned english in school, in the process of forgetting how to speak Visaya.

Italian and English (some Brit accents seem to be harder for me...). Various Northern italy's dialetti (no, dialetto in Italian isn't the same as dialect in English).
I can kinda speak very lame French (I survived in Paris so I guess French qualifies ), but read it much better. I can pretty much read Spanish but can't say I can speak it (well ok, the core of the language is not that different from Italian, but I've never taken it up seriously).
Decent grasp of Latin (used to be rather good in high school...now I've forgotten much of it).
VERY limited Catalan and Portuguese

oh and...I once read part of a math book in Romanian

[ChrisX]

I know 'Australian' English and 'American' English.

I'm fluent in gibberish!

[SquirrelDip]

Do computer languages count?

@stryker: According to my wife... ME TOO!

[Abbadon]

English and Spanish.

My native language is Spanish, but some jerks consider my Spanish not pure enough and call it "Castellano". Anyway, to make a story short, Castellano is from a place in the Iberic Peninsula called: Castilla.

P. S.

I learned English studying by mail :P .
