most people can speak more than one language. it is of great advantage to be able to speak more than one or two languages. how about you? how many language can you speak?

i can speak 2 languages and 2 dialects. and a smattering of french, japanese and spanish. i suppose if you travel in a country, you pick up the basics to survive. like ' can you speak english' is a good phrase to know. haha.

a few words don't count. but if you can converse in those languages, then they're counted as an ability to speak foreign language.

In light of globalization, the ability to speak in at least two languages is indeed a great advantage, especially when looking for jobs. I can speak 2 languages, English and Filipino, and can speak some Japanese and Indonesian as well.

The only language I can speak fluently is English, but I can survive in Quebec for a week speaking French, and I understand enough Danish that my mother can't keep anything a secret from me. I listened really closely when she would talk to my grandparents in Danish.
