How many languages do you know?

[pomtzu]

English - that's it!

Used to know a few "choice" Italian words and phrases () that my ornery uncle taught us as kids, but I've forgotten those. "Ciao" is all I know now.

Can count to 6 in Spanish. If I lived closer to my Tex-Mex SIL, she'd have me speaking it in no time.

A few single words only from some other languages.

• Danish, fluent
• English, fairly fluent
• Swedish, fairly fluent
• Norwegian, fairly fluent
• Spanish, a little. Took classes up to level 6
• German, a little bit

I would love to learn more Spanish - the first I learned to say in spanish was:
seiscientosdiesyocho. LOL! I love the French language, too.

This is how you count to ten in Danish; en, to, tre, fire, fem, seks, syv, otte, ni, ti.

[rosethecopycat]

1) English-my first language

2) Spanish- fairly fluent, I could easily live in a Spanish speaking country. (I spent years working at sea where I did not speak any English- at my request)

3) Romanian- I can read 60% of what is written to me (by fellow PT'er Tom the Cat) I cannot construct a proper letter without consulting a dictionary.

4) Italian- I can decipher signs and writing. I can communicate with the Italian words I know, filling in the 'blanks' with Spanish words (that they recognize).

Spanish, Romanian, and Italian have a Latin base, so there is a lot in common going on.

Does Pig Latin count?
