I just speak english. smurf everything else, I can't be bothered to learn any other languages.
I speak english only but i guess you could say i'm learning spanish too because of school.
spanish, a little italian, brasilian, portuguese...my language... , a little japonese, and english :love: I simply cant understand french :eek:
I speak two languages, Hebrew and English, I also speak a little Russian.
I speak fluent English because it's what I use the most. At home, I speak Cantonese but I don't speak it well enough to use confidently to other people, though I like to throw in the occasional canto phrase into conversations to keep me in practice.
I spent four years of high school learning German but most of the vocabulary is gone now. But I remember just about everything else in terms of syntax and grammar so give me a dictionary and I can probably get back into the groove.
I also quite stupidly spent two years learning Latin. I only remember random words now.
I was forced to learn some other languages in high school but I pulled out of them as soon as I could. French, Ancient Greek
I'm starting Japanese next year. I've learnt about that honourifics stuff in linguistics this year and I'm not looking forward to it. It's a lot harder than the back of mangas make it seem. :D
I know a lot of random phrases in Mandarin by virtue of being around a lot of mando people at work and listening to Chinese music. Some (but not a lot of) stuff in Mandarin is similar to Cantonese so I can work out little bits of conversation. "ni zai hai pa shen ma?" <- are you afraid of cockroaches? :mad:
I can speak german and english.
Oddly enough, the german is starting to overpower the english which was my First language. Now my grammer form is slowly taking on a slightly germanic form.
Help........
Norwegian, English, German and HTML!
Swedish (oh really? :p), and I also think I'm pretty skilled in English. :rolleyes2
I kinda know a bit of German as well, and some Spanish, although not very much at all. :p
I tried learning Latin a while ago as well, but was instantly turned off by all the nominatives, genitives, ablatives and that crap. :mad:
Norwegian, English, German and Swedish. I understand most Danish, but I can't speak it myself. I just get it mixed up with Norwegian and Swedish. :p
Al Bhed and 1337, those are my forte. :bigsmile:
Just don't get it mixed up with Swedish and Danish, because those languages are NOT similar. :pQuote:

Your probably right. Danish has much more in common with Norwegian than with Swedish. I understand Swedish because a big part of my family speaks it - I probably wouldn't understand much of it if it wasn't for that :)Quote:

I am a Chinese, but I only came in contact with it when I started Elementary school, so Chinese is definitely a must. If not, I won't know a word. When I was a kid, I speak Cantonese.
English is of course my best language, being have a solid English education background.
Malay because I'm forced to and I had loads of malay neighbors living near me when I was a kid.
I started learning Japanese in August. Can't say I'm an expert, but I can catch the basics easy enough. DO NOT EXPECT ME TO SAY THE SOUNDS ONE BY ONE.
Amount: 5.
English and bad english.
English and I can speak SOME French as well as the odd word of German and Chinese. Probs about 5 words in each. XD. Not many at all. :p
