How many languages can you speak?

[Ferraridriver27]

Ah, Südtirol, the only part of Austria I have not visited yet.

Oh wait....

You're quite a few years late for that

 

[kikie]

Strangly, I write better English than I can speak English. @Small_Fryz can vouch for that.

N'est ce pas?

 

[ProjectWHaT]

I can speak, write, read, etc Mandarin (Chinese), English, and I'm currently learning French in school.

 

[Michael88]

Pfah! All our weather forecasts still include the weather of Südtirol. We haven't forgotten you!

 

[AlvaroF]

Portuguese of course. I'm almost fluent in english. I make a lot of mistakes writting or speaking it.

I do speak a little bit of spanish, but not much. I learnt french for 3 years and I can still say a few words. As for german, italian or japanese I only know a few words, but I'm not fluent, not even close.

That's understandable. With written language you have time to think, I have very little experience with spoken German compared to written, you end up having to think on your feet more when it's spoken, plus if someone's talking to fast you can barely understand them! Are you from the French or Dutch-speaking region of Belgium?

Dutch (Flemish).

 

[sems4arsenal]

Arabic, English also a bit of french (Courses in school) and german( Courses in Uni).

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Just two dialects of English and a limited amount of French.

 

[Eric Demory]

Well, I'll probably be speaking Spanish soon enough. Hell, same as every other American citizen.

 

[W3H5]

Along with English languages and the Chinese I know pretty well I can now add a small amount (and growing) of Thai to the list. Should have a good grasp of the Thai after another year, doesn't seem to be too difficult.

 

[giorgos21]

Greeks and English

 

[nk4e]

I randomly wonder if anyone has put the clip from Pulp Fiction.

 

[GBalao888]

I only speak in English, as usual. Someday I hope to learn French, Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese...

 

[PeterJB]

Started learning Danish yesterday. First impressions: I love that there's no verb conjugation, and it's interesting that definite articles are attached to the end of the verb instead of preceding it, but none of the words sound anything like they're spelled. At the moment the most profound sentence I can say is "Jeg er en mand og jeg spiser æblet - I am a man and I am eating the apple."

@PeterJB

Jeg elskar dig

But don't get the wrong idea.

 

[PeterJB]

Jeg er smigret men jeg dating en Konstantinopolitanerinde.

Any excuse to use the longest word in the Danish language.

 

[Xilor]

I'm at 3 languages right now: English, French and Russian.

I will also start learning Japanese in University this year.👍

 

[Liquid]

Can't remember if I did post in here before:

I speak English and German.
I speak a bit of Dutch.
I know basic Welsh.
I know a few sentences in Greek and Slovakian.

The above counts as just three, in my opinion. Certainly not 6.

I know lots about European languages, because languages and linguistics are very interesting. Still working on mastering the strings already on my bow, however.

 

[Turtle]

I speak English, but could probably do Australian too.

I know a little Spanish, but gave up on it after a few years. I've wanted to learn German for a few years, but I don't know why. All the German I know comes from two Beatles songs, which isn't much at all.

 

[Legro]

I speak Finnish and English, and a bit of German and Swedish. I want to learn French, but I think I should learn to speak German and Swedish more before that.

 

[curtis 1-8-7]

I speak only 2 languages at the moment: English and spanish

 

[GT5Redsucker23]

I am Bilingual, I can speak in English and as well as in Filipino which is my native language.

 

[Danoff]

Hmmm

Well I know English pretty well. Not enough Spanish to consider it a language I speak. I speak pig latin nicely, but I don't think that counts. I speak Math, I think that counts as a language. I'm also fluent in C++, Java, Perl, Python, Lisp, Scheme, Matlab, Fortran, HTML, and C-Shell. I used to know some Pascal and Basic, but that was long ago. Also, I can understand but not really speak Management "You want me to deprioritize my current primary action items?"

So here's the list of languages:
- English
- Math
- Logic (yea it's different from Math)
- C++
- Java
- Perl
- Python
- Lisp
- Scheme
- Matlab
- Fortran
- HTML
- C-Shell

Not quite fluent enough to make the list
- Spanish
- Pascal
- Basic
- Management

So I guess my number is... 13?

Voted 6 for lack of a "13" option.

 

[Flex0r]

I speak three languages.
Dutch, Frisian and English(quite fluently).

I also speak a bit German and a little French.

You're doing very good for sure! The only thing I can find wrong in the sentence, is your usage of "dating", but it's nothing major and it's a fault any Dane could make to be honest, though to be 100% correct, it would be "[...] jeg dater en [...]" ("[...] I date a [...]" translated), but very well done after just a few hours of practice, indeed! :tup:

 

[JTB10000]

Only English and very basic Spanish.
Solamente ingles y espanol muy (basic ).

 

[Grayfox]

English, some macedonian, some german, few words of russian, frnech and italian

 

[W3H5]

Now that I'm taking Thai classes I can now consider that a language I speak. It is just the basics of vocab and grammar at the moment and I'm reading the romanised version not the squiggly lines but I use it everyday and will be well spoken by the end of the year.

That, along with Onglosh, Cockney (yeah, I know it's a dialect) and Chinese puts me on 3.5.

Once I've got the Thai down its a very, very short step to then be speaking Laotian too (it's almost the same).

 

[MisterWhiskers]

I can speak English, Albanian due to my ethnicity, and some south slavic (Serbian, Bosnian, Croatian, and Slovenian generally have the same words. Bosnian, Croatian, and Slovenian are easier to learn do to the fact that they're slavicized Illyrians, the ancestors of Albanians).
