How many languages can you speak?

[kikie]

I don't know what Dutch or Flemish sounds like so I can't really say if I'd consider them two different languages.

If you want to know more about Dutch <=> Flemish:

Makes sense, since Afrikaans is derived from 18th or 19th century Dutch.

Origin of Dutch; also click here There is also a chapter on Afrikaans. It seems that Afrikaans is derived from 17th century Dutch, not 18th nor 19th.

 

[ASH32]

Well I only speak one language, English obviously. Although I did pass my French GCSE,( I got a C) I am not sure how though. I have respect for everybody who knows more than one language.👍

As much as we Belgians point towards "Flemish", Flemish still remains Dutch. Also, Flemish is no official international language, it falls under the category "Dutch".

I speak:

-"Belgian" Dutch
-German
-English
-Norwegian

I can understand:

-Few bits of French
-Swedish
-Danish if I really, really try HARD

 

[dazzi]

English
Croatian (Hrvatski)
German (Deutsch)

 

[Max Powers]

English and Spanish for me.

I've taken about two years of formal Spanish classes, but I learned mostly from four separate 1 month+ long trips to Peru.

I studied German in high school but that does not count. I had no motivation to learn it after high school because it just does not seem practical to me, Spanish is everywhere here and only is going to increase. German, not so much.

 

[PeterJB]

100% English
35% German
4% French
1% Spanish
0.5% Italian

 

[Lucas]

Spanish as a native language, and english, which I have learned a little bit in school but in general by myself. Some very specific words in english are unknown to me, but I've got it pretty much covered 👍 I would be delighted to learn italian, and german. Italian mainly because I feel a deep link with Italy, partially because my grandmother used to speak a few italian words when I was a little kid, and she speaks it fluently. German... I don't know, it sounds cool.

 

[Jump_Ace]

English and Spanish. I can read some Italian to a minor extent but no schooling on that so I don't know if the guys at GTIRN are making fun of me

[Alex p.]

i had to say one.

I took 3 years in High School, but my German still sucks ass.

Kein Löffel für Oma!

Hahahahaha, ahhhhhh I had a good laugh!
Well back on topic : 3.5 for me.
100% German
85% English
80% Russian
aaaaand..let's say 25% French

 

[TB]

Well back on topic : 3.5 for me.
100% German
85% English
80% Russian
aaaaand..let's say 25% French

That only adds up to 2.9, not 3.5.

For me, just English and even then it's only 75% on some days...

 

[tfujiwara]

Spanish and English......200% total.
Next I'm going to try Japanese with Rosettastone Later

 

[Jondot]

Two - English and Micra.

 

[TheBook]

I know English and a bit of Spanish, enough to be able to have (fairly) basic conversations in it.

 

[HKS T51R]

I can speak:
American
Australian
Canadian
British

LOL, sorry, I'll stop now

 

[Thiele]

I can only speak Australian and a bit of British, i suck at Canadian and American.

 

[sandfisch]

German
English
French
Romanian
and enough Spanish and Italian to get around well in those countries

 

[jereweeti]

Hmmm. I speak Finnish as my native language and I speak English rather well (I have to, or have the opportunity, to speak it every day).

Languages I don't speak so well:
-French: Je ne parle pas français très bien, parce que mon professeur est m*rde et il est trop difficile.
-Swedish: Jag talar inte svenska så bra, darför att jag älskar de inte. Men Beck är jättebra!
-German: Ich spreche nicht Deutsch so gut, aber ich liebe Deutsch. Ich bin hier mit mein zeitkugel gekommen. XD
-Russian: The only proper sentence I know is "&#1071; &#1085;&#1077; &#1075;&#1086;&#1074;&#1086;&#1088;&#1102; &#1087;&#1086;-&#1088;&#1091;&#1089;&#1089;&#1082;&#1080;." and the only words I know are &#1076;&#1072;, &#1085;&#1105;&#1090;, &#1087;&#1088;&#1080;&#1074;&#1077;&#1090;, &#1089;&#1087;&#1072;&#1089;&#1080;&#1073;&#1086;, &#1085;&#1105;&#1090; &#1088;&#1072;&#1073;&#1086;&#1090;&#1072;, &#1088;&#1091;&#1082;&#1080; &#1074;&#1074;&#1077;&#1088;(?), &#1076;&#1091;&#1088;&#1072;&#1082; and &#1073;&#1083;&#1103;&#1076;&#1080;&#1085;&#1072;. If you want to know what tue last four were, use Google translate =D

Because I speak Finnish, I know/can infer 50% of written Estonian but spoken is harder to understand without any education at all.

I've always been a language enthusiast and I'm specialized in foreign accents in Finnish and in English.

 

[Leonidae]

I speak Finnish naturally, and I'm also pretty good in English. My third language? well, it's composed of international hand signs and cuss words from multiple languages such as French, German, Russian etc..

 

[Greycap]

Finnish? Totta kai.
English? Sure, and pretty well at that even if I say so myself.
Swedish? Inte så bra men jag har en Volvo, hjälpar det?
German? Keine ahnung!

 

[Anghammarad]

I speak Swedish as a mother tounge (even though my family is from Finland) and English fairly well. I can ask for directions, order a meal and understand the general meaning of a written text, if it's not too complicated, in German. Since I am Scandinavian I also understand Norwegian and Danish and I can order a beer in French, Spanish and Italian

 

[Joel]

I can only speak Australian and a bit of British, i suck at Canadian and American.

Canadian English is very similar to British.
We don't say "aboot" it's actually more like "a boat"

 

[livemusic]

...I can order a beer in french, spanish and italian

Let's just hope the waiter can speak one of those languages too.














I'll go home now...

 

[jereweeti]

Ihmeen Suomi-suma satsuma =D
There was awkwardly many Finnish speaking/Finns on this post!

 

[Nicko]

I can speak English and Japanese, and a little bit of Spanish.

 

[Encyclopedia]

[Anghammarad]

We don't say "aboot" (...)

Well after working in a canadian company (headquartered in Kitchener) for three years now my only answer to that is - Yes you do.
