Urdu is my national language, Hindko is my mother tongue, Pushto and Punjabi are my regional languages. These languages also call the Pakistani languages. But all of these are foreign languages to those who could not follow or understand them. We call and think about English as one of the foreign languages. But I think it is most important as it could be spoken and could be understood all over the world.English is most useful here and Urdu, our national language is 2nd after english which more useful on net.

English is a foreign language to us so I speak one foreign language that is english. In fact, in India every state has its own language and I speak 4 languages of south India.

I speak spanish and portuguese. Although my spanish is much stronger. Both languages are very similar so it helps to know one when you are learning the other.

I can't say that I "speak" any other language bsides English but I know and can understand some German, Spanish, French and Italian. Probaly my strongest are Spanis and German but not enough to have a converstion. I studied French for a year in school but struggled with it and my ex-hubby was Italian decent and only remembered a little bit from when his grandparents were alive.

I can speak 4 language (slovak, german, english, czech) plus I can understand polish, but cannot talk proper also I understand other language base on slavic language like( bosnian, russhian, croatian) I don't understand everything, but some words are very similar and sometimes you just put it somehow together and figure out, what the people are talking about.I think the most usefull is english for me, since it is international language.
