How Many Languages Can You Speak?

English is my first language. I can speak a bit of French and a little more Spanish, I am currently learning Danish. I have dipped my toes into lots of languages over the years including Russian and Italian and German. I want to study all the languages but there's not enough time.

Hindi is my first language here!! It is the official language of India along with English!! Other than these two, I can speak 3 regional languages of India( Punjabi, Malayalam and Tamil) I also know Spanish!! Ola!! And I will start learning Chinese ( Mandarin) from January!! Which language do you want to learn or wish you should have learned!!

I speak and read English. But since Canada is a bilingual country, we were taught French in school, I can make out some words if I see them in print, but not to hear them. We were taught Spanish in high school, I enjoyed Spanish much better then French and remember more of that. I have an aunt that lived in South America and spoke it fluently, she will speak it to me now and again if I ask her to, it helps me to remember. I think that Spanish is such a pretty language, it sounds so nice to me.

Amazing what people can do. I only speak English.

English is my mother tongue. I studied French and German in high school and college. Taught both for four decades. I can also handle Spanish, but nothing too deep. I used to date a cute Italian guy, so I faked that language.

I agree, being able to write English when it isn't the first language is admirable. As for me, my only language is English. I too learned French and German in high school, but not fluently. I can understand some words but not many. And then there was Sesame Street where I learned a little bit of Spanish again, just enough to recognize some words, nothing more.

I also took Spanish at school, but it was only for 2 years from age 11 to 13 and over 50 years ago.

English is my one and only language. If asked I would say 'none'. I don't feel like I am doing too well with English now days either. Editing helps. I learnt Spanish in school and can speak it a little.

I only speak English, though I did briefly learn French and German at school, all forgotten now. I can understand brief phrases in NZ Maori

@Marilynda1225,I can speak two India languages,Hindi and Oriya.Hindi is our national language.I can also speak one foreign language,English.Now I am trying to learn another regional Indian language,Gujrati.

English is my first.Then Spanish(not fluently) and a bit of Italian.Still working on my Spanish.

English even though I tried to learn both Spanish and French. I spent a lot more time learning French but not enough to carry on a conversation.

I am from the Philippines. Filipino is our National language, but I also speak & write English & a little of Spanish. I can also understand but speak very little of Chinese (Mandarin). The latter was made possible when I had a chinese classmate in College. The 1st thing she taught me was to count. Twas a feat!

I learnt French and German at school and did my best to keep up with French. Both came in handy when we were travelling.

Since I was born and grow up in Guangzhou, so my mother language is Cantonese. But Mandarin is the official language in my country, so I am also fluent to it. English is the foreign language for me and we have to study it from primary school. Today the children even start to learn it from kindergarten.

I only know how to speak English language.

Hello! I have been learning English for 10 years now and German for 6 years now! I Used to visit my aunt in Spain, so I Also learned to speak Spanish! Now, I am trying to learn French

I speak English fluently. I studied French and Spanish while in school but can not speak it fluently. I can understand (some of the time) someone saying something to me in French - Montreal or if we are on vacation Spanish - Mexico

@Marilynda1225 I was fluent in Spanish in high school; still pretty good at it. Bohemian; since I'm Czech. And a little of French and German.

Hi there @Marilynda1225, I am Anh Phan, from vietnam. Of course, the first language which that I can speak is Vietnamese. I spent 10 years to learn English, and it sounds a waste of time. Sounds doesnt work to me when I am in Vietnam. I've never used any little English in my jobs (except for what I use it for helping myself, Thanks English). Since i was a freshman in college, I started learning Mandarin Chinese in parallel with English. After graduation, I still feel that's not enough to be confidently speaking in Chinese, I decided to work for a Taiwanese corporation to master my spoken chinese, and yes I did!. Fairly enough for working. I am now heading over Arabic, just very funny in its own way, writing from right to left. Weird but fun. I love languages and I never care about certificates and position in jobs like every Vietnamese do. I mean in a country like Vietnam, being fluent in English can be a good advantage for promotion in jobs. And Sadly, for my mom, I don't like that way, cuz she always love to see me get promotion. I am on Mylot, there is no boss, and of course, no job promotions, and friends promotions are the best one ever! Thank you
