How Many Languages Can You Speak?

English is my first language. I can speak a bit of French and a little more Spanish, I am currently learning Danish. I have dipped my toes into lots of languages over the years including Russian and Italian and German. I want to study all the languages but there's not enough time.

My native language is German. I know English very well and Italian reasonably well. I studied Russian and taught it for twenty years, but have forgotten a lot. I also know a bit of Turkish.

I speak and read English. But since Canada is a bilingual country, we were taught French in school, I can make out some words if I see them in print, but not to hear them. We were taught Spanish in high school, I enjoyed Spanish much better then French and remember more of that. I have an aunt that lived in South America and spoke it fluently, she will speak it to me now and again if I ask her to, it helps me to remember. I think that Spanish is such a pretty language, it sounds so nice to me.

Amazing what people can do. I only speak English.

Hindi is my first language here!! It is the official language of India along with English!! Other than these two, I can speak 3 regional languages of India( Punjabi, Malayalam and Tamil) I also know Spanish!! Ola!! And I will start learning Chinese ( Mandarin) from January!! Which language do you want to learn or wish you should have learned!!

English is my mother tongue. I studied French and German in high school and college. Taught both for four decades. I can also handle Spanish, but nothing too deep. I used to date a cute Italian guy, so I faked that language.

I also took Spanish at school, but it was only for 2 years from age 11 to 13 and over 50 years ago.

English is my one and only language. If asked I would say 'none'. I don't feel like I am doing too well with English now days either. Editing helps. I learnt Spanish in school and can speak it a little.

I only speak English, though I did briefly learn French and German at school, all forgotten now. I can understand brief phrases in NZ Maori

@Marilynda1225,I can speak two India languages,Hindi and Oriya.Hindi is our national language.I can also speak one foreign language,English.Now I am trying to learn another regional Indian language,Gujrati.

English even though I tried to learn both Spanish and French. I spent a lot more time learning French but not enough to carry on a conversation.

I am from the Philippines. Filipino is our National language, but I also speak & write English & a little of Spanish. I can also understand but speak very little of Chinese (Mandarin). The latter was made possible when I had a chinese classmate in College. The 1st thing she taught me was to count. Twas a feat!

I agree, being able to write English when it isn't the first language is admirable. As for me, my only language is English. I too learned French and German in high school, but not fluently. I can understand some words but not many. And then there was Sesame Street where I learned a little bit of Spanish again, just enough to recognize some words, nothing more.

I learnt French and German at school and did my best to keep up with French. Both came in handy when we were travelling.

Since I was born and grow up in Guangzhou, so my mother language is Cantonese. But Mandarin is the official language in my country, so I am also fluent to it. English is the foreign language for me and we have to study it from primary school. Today the children even start to learn it from kindergarten.

I only know how to speak English language.

English is my first.Then Spanish(not fluently) and a bit of Italian.Still working on my Spanish.

Hello! I have been learning English for 10 years now and German for 6 years now! I Used to visit my aunt in Spain, so I Also learned to speak Spanish! Now, I am trying to learn French

@Marilynda1225 I was fluent in Spanish in high school; still pretty good at it. Bohemian; since I'm Czech. And a little of French and German.

Hi there @Marilynda1225, I am Anh Phan, from vietnam. Of course, the first language which that I can speak is Vietnamese. I spent 10 years to learn English, and it sounds a waste of time. Sounds doesnt work to me when I am in Vietnam. I've never used any little English in my jobs (except for what I use it for helping myself, Thanks English). Since i was a freshman in college, I started learning Mandarin Chinese in parallel with English. After graduation, I still feel that's not enough to be confidently speaking in Chinese, I decided to work for a Taiwanese corporation to master my spoken chinese, and yes I did!. Fairly enough for working. I am now heading over Arabic, just very funny in its own way, writing from right to left. Weird but fun. I love languages and I never care about certificates and position in jobs like every Vietnamese do. I mean in a country like Vietnam, being fluent in English can be a good advantage for promotion in jobs. And Sadly, for my mom, I don't like that way, cuz she always love to see me get promotion. I am on Mylot, there is no boss, and of course, no job promotions, and friends promotions are the best one ever! Thank you
