    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.

    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?

    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........

    Swedish (oh really? ), 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.

    I tried learning Latin a while ago as well, but was instantly turned off by all the nominatives, genitives, ablatives and that crap.

    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.

    Just don't get it mixed up with Swedish and Danish, because those languages are NOT similar.

    Whenever some Danish dude starts babbling, I become a question mark. XD

    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

    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.
