How many languages can you speak ?

My native language is English, but I started taking foreign languages when I was eight years old. I started with Spanish, then went on to French, German, Japanese, and Chinese. Japanese is the one I've studied the longest, but I think it helped prepare me for learning Chinese. Asian languages take a lot of dedication, but they're worth knowing. Next, I want to take Latin at my school, although I might not have time to do so before I graduate. I'd also like to learn Finnish, as it is a part of my family's heritage. I only know a few Finnish words.

I can speak fluently in French and English. But I also currently trying to learn how to speak Italian and Sign Language.

Hi there! I am a Filipino but I don't know how to speak Chinese. I can only speak our language and English. But I wanna learn how to speak some other languages. Happy my lotting!!!

yeah, i think Chinese is a little hard to learn for a foreigher. as a native Chinese speaker, I can speak some english and the language from my hometown in additonal to Chinese. In mainland of China, we usually call Chinese Pu Tong Hua. As i know, the Chinese language which malay says is another language which is called Cantonese. This language is widely spoken in Guangdong Province of China and Hongkong. I can understand most of it when popele speak it. But i can't say it. I think english is very melodious to speak, but i dont speak much, i got poor english, but i like english very much. Language is very mistious thing, and i admire the talented language speakers. By the way, anyone want to know more Chinese, reach me pls. I'm glad to teach anyone who want learn Chinese and wanna make more friends out there. Happy posting, mylotters.

This tends to depend on where you live and what language you speak to start with. I think it's fair to say that, as much as we might like it, most native speakers of English - like me - never find it necessary to learn another language because everywhere we go we find people who can speak English much better than we can speak another language. Although I can speak some French and German, I almost never get the chance to use them because, as soon as people find out I speak English, they want to speak English to me.

I just know my mother language as well as English language. Apart from that I know a little bit in three other languages. Learning languages will help to go to every places in the world. It's better to know most of the world languages. Not at all you have to know fully,but atleast that much you can be interactive. Global Language for us is English (No.1 ya).

I can speak Mandarin as I'm a Chinese, speak English though my English is not that good, speak a little of Japanese, a little of Malay language I think that's all. If dialect is included than I can speak teochew, a little of hokkien and Cantonese.

i know three languages. Bengali is my mother tongue, i can only speak and comprehend this language, i cannot read and write this language. i have command over English and Hindi.

Indeed, I can say any language for one sentence because of dictionary.

I can only speak in Mandarin and English. I may be able to understand a little of Malay language, and Japanese language probably. Learning languages is quite interesting. However, you have to put in use after learning, otherwise you may not remember what you have learnt if you did not use it for some time. I took up a course on Japanese language, but I did not speak Japanese at all after the course. Now, I forget how to speak Japanese, and I may be able to understand just the very minimum of it.

i'm a chinese, i only can speak chinese very well, and only a litter english, except that, i know nothing, however, i wanna to know how to speak other language?
