How many languages do you know?

[Sirrahsim]

lol

[Taz_Zoee]

English - although not proper by far

I know how to count and say a few things in German and Spanish. And I also know some ASL (alphabet and some words).

Oh, and I can speak a language we did in high school, called Double Dutch. And another one similar to that called Cat. Don't ask.

[ramanth]

English - native language and fluent

French - took 2 years in high school and only remember a smattering of words (hi, bye, yes, no, thank you, ect.) and two phrases; 'what time is it?' and 'In english, please'.

German - hosted exchange students in high school and learned some naughty words and the usual 'hi, bye, yes, no, thank you'.

Spanish - generic words again. No complete sentences.

Samoan - slowly learning this. I know a few words and phrases. Picking up on some Hawaiian as well.

ASL - had a deaf neighbor who would babysit us when I was 8 yrs old. She taught me some words and phrases, but I can only sign 'I love you' now.

[Husky_mom]

Ingles, Espanol, Y la Lengua de Amor.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL......

lol.. had to be my bro.. hehehe

[smokey the elder]

English (American style, not the Queen's); I can speak basic Spanish and read it better than I speak it. I had some German in college and can count, know a few phrases (Guten Morgen, danke, bitte, etc.) Because of martial arts training I used to be able to count to 10 in Korean and Japanese, but, alas, those brain cells have gone to the Rainbow Bridge...

[Barbara]

German-native
English
French
Italian

... that's the ones I can speak...

Spanish- can read a newspaper- when I speak it comes out Italian
Latin

Greek - enough to ask for menus and busses

Japanese -learned it through 3 years but forgot most of it.

..and very few words in Polish (like tanie meble which means cheap furniture)
and I can count in Finnish and know that a a moose is a hirvi and a Hamburger is a Hampurilainen (i.e. when you speak of a person who lives in Hamburg, Germany)

[Asiel]

English
French
Spanish
Chinese (Mandarin)
German
Some Italian
Does Latin count...lol?

[cassiesmom]

And another one similar to that called Cat.

I think my cat wishes I spoke better cat

[Marigold2]

Fluent English and German

[Catty1]

English fer sure.

French - just learned it in school ages ago, but when I was in Quebec last year for only a couple of days, the basics came back quite easily...I bet if I lived there for a year, I would pick up a LOT of the language. Totally different than the French in France.

Japanese - had a few gigs there, just know a few words and phrases; if a Japanese visitor was lost, I could likely help them find their way.

Bits of German and Italian (thanks to early voice training).

[Russian Blue]

English - fluent

Finnish - basic understanding - mother's side of family is Finnish - Mitä kuuluu? Hyvä pulla! *lol*

French - not fluent, but can read/speak if needed

Czech - husband's family is Czech/Slovac - Dobrý den

Latin - I was tired of French, so took 3 years of Latin in school! Ubi est canis?

[prechrswife]

English (with a southern U.S. accent )

Spanish (some, but very out of practice--took it in high school)

Mandarin (few words and phrases--hello, good bye, thank you, I don't want it, I love you.)

[K9karen]

English

Some Spanish..it comes back to me when in conversation, but it sounds babyish I'm sure. Bad at conjugation.

Started learning Polish (my mom) as a kid to speak with my nana, but can't remember much except "I love you." (Thanks Bobby Vinton-for those of you who remember..)

Can curse a bit in Yiddish, Russian, Chinese..(but I rarely do

I'm in AWE of all of you who claim you're NOT fluent in English. You have me fooled because you're English is GREAT. You use difficult American English idioms and expressions.

[kokopup]

English----fluent southernese
Dutch -----limited- Can communicate and read. I lived in the Netherlands for 3 years and learning the language was difficult because 70% of the Dutch speak English.

[sana]

I know hand language. And I also know British English. They speak like wouta to water.
