How many languages can you speak?

[Eric Demory]

I only speak English, but I have a British or French accent.

 

[Terronium-12]

I only speak English, however, I know bits and pieces (and I do mean bits and pieces) of German and Japanese.

 

[Eric Demory]

I can speak some Japanese, "Toyota"! That's from Jeff Dunham.

 

[magicalgin]

Eh I speak Vietnamese, Dutch and English fluently. But I can also speak (though not brilliantly) German, French and a tiny bit of Japanese... So six it is.

 

[DntMssWthTx]

Spanish and English.

 

[Joel]

I am fluent in English, and ....meh in French.

 

[Irons]

I only speak English, but I have a British or French accent.

Wait a minute, if you're from Maryland, shouldn't you have a New England style of accent?

On Topic:
I SPEAK 1 language (English) but I am capable of speaking/conversing (although not fluently) in Español and

For those individuals who have no idea what that is, that's the sign for American Sign Language.

I wish I could speak Spider-Man.

 

[Irons]

I wish I could speak Spider-Man.

[TB]

*facepalm* It was a joke.

¿Pero qué tanto?

But how much?

 

[Austin343]

Español e ingles.

Or rather, "español e inglés." Despite more than six years of Spanish class at my school, and taking the most advanced classes it offers, I still don't feel remotely fluent in the language. Native speakers in Spain are often incomprehensible to me (although that happens to almost anyone learning another language because of the speed at which native speakers speak), and although I can read and write quite well, I'm totally lacking in knowledge of how Spanish speakers actually phrase things. Because classes focus on the formal aspect of the language, I don't know how to say simple, conversational things like a native speaker would, and that's probably the most critical part of learning a foreign language. And embarrassingly, I'm still totally unable to roll my r's, no matter how hard I try.

 

[Lucas]

I would say he should have said "Inglés y español", since english is his native language, as opposed to spanish. Saying it the way he did (regardless of language) makes it seems his first language is spanish.

Same here. To be honest, I find english a hard language to understand when speaked by people who are not british or australian.

May I also add that my brother considers spanish to be a much harder language to learn for english speaking people than english to spanish speaking people?

Of course, that is logical. Latin languages are much harder to learn than Anglo-Saxon languages.

Latin languages, have allot of conjugation issues. I can tell you that, in terms of school, I would prefer to have English as my first language (witch is impossible) and Portuguese as my second, because, for me, English is allot easier than my own Latin based language.

My first, or native, language is Spanish. I'm Puertorican, just moved here almost three years ago.

And about the accent mark on the E in "ingles," I couldn't figure out how to do it.

That. 👍

English, Some Tagalog, and Some Spanish.

Some people just can't do the rolling of the R's. I still can't, yet I can still get along fine conversing with native speakers.

My girlfriend's brother is a native Spanish speaker and couldn't roll his r's until he was like 18, so I guess it happens to everybody.

 

[mPWRD]

Fluent English, pretty damn good Español, and some Hindi, which my Indian friend taught me. I can carry a conversation in all three, but I'm definitely more comfortable in Spanish than Hindi.

 

[lpb-nissan-gt-r]

English is my native language which I am terrible at. Composurely(SP) French most of which I have forgotten, and at the moment I am teaching myself Japanese.

 

[GM]

English + Ukrainian, some Russian and Belarusian (latter 3 are similar)

 

[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?

 

[Eric.]

I'm gonna say two...English of course, and a semester worth of Java, which I can understand pretty well. Throw in what I can remember from HTML and I'd consider that maybe 1.25 computer languages.

 

[a6m5]

My passport says I'm a citizen of Japan, but my English is far better than my Japanese at this point. Actually, it is quite rusty, but nothing I couldn't get back within a month or so in Japan.

I also speak Engrish & Japanglish very well. Don't worry, I didn't select "Four" in the poll.

Answer: 4

Im Half Dutch/Half Thai... I grew up in FL so when I was young I spoke English to my parents while they spoke Dutch (father), Thai (mother) and English to me. This really confused my freinds when they came over to my house .... and having Spanish in school from 6th grade on, all the way through college has given me the ability to speak that as well Dutch and English are fluent for me both written and spoken, Thai I can speak and understand but not write...
