How many languages do you know?

[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.

[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...

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)

[dab_20]

English
Spanish- Thanks to my boyfriend (He's from Colombia), I am around his family all the time and have picked it up very fast. I can understand it very well and can speak some basic sentences, just not have in depth conversations. I speak like a four year old hehe I think I learned more Spanish in 6 months with my boyfriend than 2.5 years in Spanish class
I am wanting to learn it very fluently because I'm going into nursing. We have been doing "a sentence a day". It helps tremendously!

Unless I can speak it, I don't consider it knowing the language. I know some words here and there in German (my grandpa is from Germany), Swedish (went to Swedish camp), and Italian (very similar to Spanish). But I don't consider myself "knowing" those languages.

[Whisk_Luva]

English

German (took it at school for 5 years... I am far from fluent but I know enough to get by if I go to a German speaking country)

French (a tiny bit. Took it at school for 3 years. Can't remember much now)

Spanish (a few simple phrases. Took it for a year in school)

Latin (a few words. Took it in school for a year)

Italian (a few words. Trying to teach myself Italian as we go to Italy on holiday, but I just don't have the time to learn it)

[Husky_mom]

I forgot about Tarahumara.. which is an aboriginal language/tongue.. I know a few words.. I knew a bit more but my mind just kept them in a very hidden place I can no longer access.. but there are still some I remember :P

[sana]

I just wanted to tell. I learned a few words in French. I learned a few sentences. They are:
Pardon me Miss/married woman
You are stupid, I learned two ways of saying it.
I am sorry. (Still a little messy)
I am magnificent.
You are magnificent miss, baby, boy, married woman.
What
When
I also learned to be forms, like he is, you are, she is in singular and plural, male and female and stuff. My mom knows French, Arabic and some Spanish. So I learn and she teaches me Arabic and also learn it from school. I also started French today night. This is my today's lesson. It was fun but my mom said what was I gonna do. I gotta concentrate on my upcoming school. I feel sick these days because school's coming up. Its on 14th Sep. OOOOhhhhh!!!! hate it! Child's Worst Nightmare. Thats what we students call it.

[Sonia59]

French: mother language
English: fairly fluent
Dutch: basics. I worked in the Netherlands for 5 years. I can read it better, understand it more or less when it's spoken. I can say basic things in shops, restaurants, etc.
German: second language at school. I am supposed to be able to speak it, but after my stay in the NL, only Dutch words are popping up when I try to remember some German. I guess it would come back with practise.
Italian: I took it for 1 year at school. Learned the basics but I forgot a lot.
Latin: forgot it all!
