How many languages can you speak?

[Danny]

English, German and bits of French.

 

[Bram Turismo]

I speak Hebrew, English and German completely-fluent, and a decent amount of French - though not nearly as fluent as the other three. At almost-16, I consider that plenty.

Impressive

Here it's Flamish, English, I understand some French, Norwegian and I'm learning German at school 👍

So that's at least 3 I speak perfectly (what you consider as "perfect" of course...): Flamish, English and Norwegian

 

[YSSMAN]

I'm surprised how many of us speak a bit of German. Then again, I'd probably call it the easiest foreign language for English-speaking people to learn (given the common roots). I, for some reason, have a much harder time with the Latin-style languages (Italian, French, Spanish, etc), and I'm not sure why...

 

[Roo]

I'm rubbish with languages, so only English.

 

[zoxxy]

Four; I speak swedish, english and hungarian fluently, and I know enough German to get along.

 

[Giancarlo]

American English and Spanish, barely some Italian. I live in Miami so Spanish is almost a given.

 

[Nicknamealguem]

Well, I can speak:
1.Portuguese
2.English
3.Spanish
4.the basics of French
+/-5.little of Italian
and I would like to learn «Mandarim» (Chinese) and Japanese.

I, for some reason, have a much harder time with the Latin-style languages (Italian, French, Spanish, etc), and I'm not sure why...

They are the more difficult to learn, especially because they have a lot of grammar. Even for us (Latin’s) is difficult (I have much better grades at English than Portuguese (and I am Portuguese)).

I hope mida means look. It's been a while.

No, mida doesn’t mean look, but mira does.

 

[Wenders]

I speak Australian and can count to 10 in french, german and japanese. I learn French for a few years so if someone spoke slowly I might be able to pick up a few words.
I also speak fluent Pig-Latin but I don't know if that counts.

 

[ExigeEvan]

I love how throughout my linguistic education I was told that English was such a hard language to learn because there's so many stupid parts to it and yet LdS is saying that it is easier than his native tongue!

 

[exigeracer]

English is relatviely simple. French and Spanish have conjugation issues, like mentioned. Many Eastern Eurpoean languages have even more conjugation, often every word in a sentence has to be conjugated, not just the verbs. That gets very complicated.

 

[samj_13]

I said 2 because my mother tongue is English, as expected. And I know enough Spanish to get a meal, and do basic everyday things, like ask for directions and have a brief conversation. I'm taking more Spanish this year in High School, so I should be fluent by Sophomore year.

I took half a year of French in 7th grade, but I don't remember much.

I speak English very well.

Je parle un peu francias.

Yo hablo espanol bien.

Die hummer ist klien?? (only German I know, apart from Rammstein songs...)

 

[DustDriver]

I've clicked on 2, but i can understand 4 languages.
I can speak Dutch and English.
I can also speak French, although not so good.
I can read and understand a big part German, but i can't speak much and can't write it at all.

 

[Joey D]

Die hummer ist klien?? (only German I know, apart from Rammstein songs...)

The lobster is small or the The lobster is a clone? Klien mean to clone while klein means small. Either way that's a bit funny .

 

[DuckRacer]

Two – English and Quackian.


OK, the second one doesn't exist, just English.

 

[YSSMAN]

The lobster is small or the The lobster is a clone? Klien mean to clone while klein means small. Either way that's a bit funny .

I was thinking "The HUMMER is small," but I only managed a C in Deutsch, so I don't know for sure.

"Was ist du Machen?" is probably my most-used phrase, followed closely by "Ich habe keine kleidung vor Kaufen" after we close at work.

 

[F1GTR]

I speak English, Tagalog and a bit of French.

 

[Gashlycrumb]

I can speak two languages. English (1st language) and German (conversational).

I can also string together a few words in Maori including counting to 10 and naming the colours. I am quite far from being fluent though

 

[Danny]

"Ich habe keine kleidung vor Kaufen" after we close at work.

I have no clothes to buy?

 

[ExigeEvan]

He does work in a clothes shop...

 

[Metar]

Danny meant that the sentence doesn't make much sense.

If you mean "I have no clothes to sell", then: "Ich habe keine Kleider zu verkaufen".

 

[YSSMAN]

I have no clothes to buy?

Exactly. We're asked every night if we've got "Employee Purchases" to make, and thus I say the previous statement. It may not the the perfect grammatical way of saying it, but I'm far from caring. If there was a German in the store, I think they'd get the idea.

 

[Philly]

I speak English, being from America.

Un peu francais aussi.

Starting this year, I'm going to learn how to sprechen me some deutsch

 

[Blackbird.]

Only English, only other language I attempted to learn was Spanish and I still don't get it.

 

[kikie]

Dutch (my first language), English, some German (going to Austria all these years does that to a person ) and a little bit french (I have to because Belgium is bilingual)

 

[Thiele]

I learned a bit of German and Japanese at school, but i'm not sure if i've learned enough to count in this poll.

 

[Freddie]

I voted four, seeing as I speak Norwegian, Swedish and English fluently, and with some concentration can master Danish as well without much difficulty.

That's orally of course, in written I only master Norwegian and English. Swedish is grammatically a nightmare (so I've heard) and Danish is, uh, French.

I've also had five years with German, and managed a D in an oral test. That test was the last time I needed to speak German, and as such I've just let it slip out of my mind.

 

[bisk]

Born in Poland. So that's Polish.
Moved to Belgium at the age of one
learned Dutch as my mother tongue.
Then, learned English through watching TV and speaking
it quite a lot through internet. And of course, School.
Received French for 8 years now at school.
And German for 4 years.

So that makes a total of 5. (got to admit, that my German isn't the best,
but on my oral exam, had to speak the language for 30 mins)

I followed "Economics- Modern Languages" if you wouldn't know yet

That's what you get for living in a country which has 3 main languages lol.

 

[socomplayer2]

American English and I am trying to learn Italian.I can understand it mostly but I am not to good at speaking/writing it. I only checked one because I wouldn't be comfortable in talking in Italy.

 

[xAkirax2004]

English and very rough Russian. I took it upon myself to learn it, been busy so I haven't been able to come back to it...

По-русски:

Вы говорите русский язык?

(In Russian

(Do You speak Russian?)

Other phrases, like "Kak dela?" Means "how are you?", etc.

 

[MustangSVT]

I am fully fluent in Romanian and English, I know a reasonable amount of Spanish (i can understand someone if they don't talk too fast, and can communicate in a basic manner).
