How many languages can you speak?

Hi! I can speak two languages pretty well- Bulgaria, my mother language, which I speak perfectly, and English which I know from the school and the TV! I also can speak s little German, because my cousin is a teacher in German and he teaches me a little when he has some spare time :)

Well, I do speak english of course, but... I was born in France, so french was my first language (native/mother). I can speak, read, write and understand french very well. Then, when I was 6 years old and my parents decided to move to Brazil. I lived in Brazil for 20 years and learned portuguese quite well (speak, write, read and understand). Nowadays, I consider portuguese my native language, which is the one that I'm most fluent. I can speak, read, write and understand spanish very well (lived with a spanish friend dor 2 years). I also read and understand some italian (speak and write is more difficult, cause I start to mix-up the latin languages). I would love to learn Latin (I know some structures and sentences)!

hello freeboy, two languages for me, english and filipino (tagalog). and i speak two more dialects, visayan and ilonggo. i can understand a few sentences in spanish. i want to learn (indian) hindi language ann

Hello! I speak Filipino and English. I am learning how to speak Japanese, Spanish, and Mandarin. I understand Spanish and Japanese, and speak little of each, but I want to be fluent. After learning these, I'm planning to study to learn latin and/or french.

Im a native Spanish speaker. and i studied english since i was a child. Recently i also started to learn french. So thats all. On the next years with my studies i have to learn portuguese, and italian too :). Take care!

I can speak English and my mother's tongue - Bulgarian perfectly and a little German. I think the more langueges a person speaks the more he enriches his intellectuality and intelligence. It is very useful for travelling, communicating with other cultures and for work, of course. And I personaly think that knowing an additional language other than yours is also valuable and well-paid. Discusing, speaking, writing and reading in multiple languages is condisedered to be a big wealth and fortune in a spiritual and intellectual way. I am very glad that my language - Bulgarian is so close to Russain, Serbian and Macedonian...that I can simply talk to them and understand almost completely their language , too. Indeed macedonian and Bulgarian are so alike - they are like British English and American English. And I find this very useful in life, because whenever on the Balkans I go - Serbia, Macedonia, Greece, Romania ever Turkey - there are people who understand my language and we can communicate, maybe it will be difficult but still we can communicate in some way. On the other hand if I don't know English I cannot understand it because it has nothing to do with Bulgarian and they are completely different - maybe the biggest differences are that in Bulgarian we write with the CYRILLIC alphabet and our pronounciation is completely different - every lettler we see in a word it is pronounciated. What you see, you read the same, like in German. It is far more easy to learn reading in Bulgarian than in English, but I can say that the whole language of ours is more complicated and more difficult in writing and speaking maybe!!!

I can speak Maltese and English fluently. English is my second language. I have learned both languages since the age of six in the primary school. I can also speak Italian very well since Italy is close to our country and we can view the Italian channels on tv. I have learned italian in the secondary school. I have learned Arabic and French but I can only understand a few vocabulary. I cannot speak neither Arabic nor French

English, a little French and a little Kiswahili. I am currently learning Afrikaans as it is my wife's native tongue. There are few resources available to learn it as it is not widely spoken. Why are you interested in Dutch? all the best urban

Oh, In can speak 3 languages now... the 2 of which are our major dialects here in our country. And the 3rd is English. This is our medium of communication in school... and in business. I have a friend that is multi-lingual--he knows about 8 languages so far. He worked in a call center and happened to be my colleagues last few months... I like him speaking different tongues, he told me it's not that hard to learn to speak different languages, it's a matter of interest, determination, and effort--for now I want to speak Japanese or Spanish...

Hello Freeboy90, I am always amazed with those people who knows how to speak more than two languages. As for me, I was born in Philippines which is a bilingual country. In school, they thought English and Tagalog. Tagalog is our national language but their are about 170 dialects different people in Philippines speak. It depends on which province you live. To name few dialects - Surigaonon, Hiligaynon, Ilocano, Waray-waray and Bisaya which is my province native tongue. I can understand a few Spanish words and would like to be fluent in it. My native dialect Bisaya uses a lot of words similar to Spanish, like they way we count. And also most older people can speak and write Spanish fluently, that is because Spanish people have conquered Philippines for nearly 330 years. Happy mylotting!

I'm a Chinese.So of course my mother tongue is Chinese.I learned English and some French.

Only English & Japanese... It's cool how people in Europe have an opportunity to learn different languages from various near by countreis... off course, you must have tried hard to be able to speak the languages you are capable now :) We only tend to bother with English here at Australia... Japan is out of question. People struggle a lot to learn English throughout their school times, and most of them come out with nothing x( In other hand, people from nabouring Asian countries are capable of speaking few languages... I always wonder what's the difference is lol I wish you all the best with learning Dutch, and happy myLotting ;)

I speak English and a little bit of German. My plans are to improve my German and to start learning Russian because I really need it recently.

i can speak 5 languages as englis,french,spanish,russian and Italian who is my mother-tongue as well!!Considering that Italian language is not so spread aabroad i think it is necessary for Italians learn foreign languages to communicate even if when they are abroad surely this problem is not common to native english speakers because english is considered an international language that everybody knows...

Hi freeboy, I can speak in 5 languages like English , Hindi, are the two which we use to communicate with others in schools. other 3 are the local languages like Kannada, Telugu and Tamil. I am planning to learn French with the help of my friend. Have a great day.

I actually only speak one language. That being the English language. Of course, it is debatable if I can even speak that but there you go. The truth is, foreign languages are something that I never really had time to apply myself in. Any time I might have had a chance to learn one, there was always something else that was a higher priority for me. Therefore, the foreign language attempts got shoved on the back burner. The closest time was I almost took French in high school. I do not remember the reasons why it changed at the last second but it did, as there was something weird with my schedule that year. Regardless, I never took the language. I am not really sure if I regret it or not. Perhaps not, as there was no reason for me to actually know the language to begin with. Then again, there were many things at school that I learned and have never used since. Still, only one language for me. I have some vague understanding of certain words or phrases in others but nothing I can recall off hand. I doubt I will ever need another language, but never really say never. If I ever do, I will just learn enough to get by without looking like a complete and utter buffoon. Still, for right now, one language is more than enough for me.

I speak Bengali as it's my native tongue. I speak English fluently enough to be a native! And I speak Intermediate French, and quite okay communicating in French. There are some other languages that I'd love to learn, specially Mandarin, but that's too difficult and needs a lot of time. However, I can read different alphabets, like Russian, Arabic, Farsi and Greek. I learned Japanese and Hebrew characters long ago, but don't remember them any more. Got a whole lot of preliminaries but nothing more. Thanks for starting a discussion on one of my favorite topics!
