I speak only two languages. They are Portuguese and English. I'd certainly like to learn how to speak more languages, but you know... It's not that simple. You must also pay a specialized school to learn it well. It's rare to find someone that speak both languages. I think in my school, there must be around 4 people at total who speaks both. And I've met none of those four, lol. People just know the basics.

You are doing much better than me. I think as the world gets closser together you will get used to the idea that educated people should speak at least 2 languages and some would argue that speaking English does not count as a new language ;-)

I don't know if I'm doing much better than you... It seems like speaking two languages is nothing compared to some people here!

I speak English and a little Spanish. I am also learning French, Mandarin Chinese, American Sign Language, a little bit of Japanese, and some Twi (language in Ghana, West Africa). Based on the languages you know, I am guessing that you live in India, without even looking at your profile first? :-)

Bai Sahib, how well do you know these languages? Do you read and write in them as well as speak them? I think you're much better than me. I only read, write and speak English and German and have a working understanding of Mandarin and Cantonese and can socialise in Spanish. Also manage to sprinkle a bit of Arabic into conversation but that's about it.
