I actually speak two languages. I speak French and English. These are the two languages that I speak fluently. I have been speaking these languages since I was a kid. I learned them from my parents. However, I have also learned a little bit of Italian. I don't speak a lot of it, but I do know a little bit of it.

I speak English and a little Spanish. I use to be able to speak spanish much more fluently, but it has been a long time since I was a high schooler in spanish class. My oldest daughter picks up on languages quite easily! I wish I could speak different languages like her...she's so smart.

Hi rice,
I actually write and speak two local language (Tagalog and Visayan) and one foreign language (the one I'm using now).
My two kids, six and five, are also learning to speak these languages since we always use them at home. Tagalog, they acquired from watching TV. For now, when my wife wants to have a private matter discussed in the presence of the two tykes, she always switches to English to prevent them from understanding it.
Lately though, I noticed a certain amount of comprehension from the kids whenever they hear our "official language." Maybe its time to look for another private mode of communication.

Actually i know 3 different local language here in my country- the Philippines.
The language i speak depends on the where i am speaking i mean if what is the language used by the people in a certain place.Another is if what language did the person to whom i speak use.
