I can speak just finnish and english. I study swedish and german before but I didn't use those languages so I forget most of them. I also try learning italian on internet but I see that site was using Google translate and it's really bad idea atleast for finnish language... It didn't work so well I just learn some words but I would like to be able to speak italian well. I been learning Jamaican Patois also but I can understand it so much better if I read it than if I hear it it's a funny language.
How many languages can you speak or have study before?

I like how it sounds and I been visiting Italy many times and I feel people there don't really speak english so it would be handy to learn

@GegeTheMechanic Are there any Italians in your area with whom you could practice?

Hi, Miia! My name is Marja and I speak Finnish too. I have lived in Sweden since 1955, so I have spoken Swedish most of my life.. learned some German and French at school and later, I studied Spanish.. It was useful, when I visited Spain a couple of times and met Spanish speaking people in Sweden..I often use jw.org and there is a language app, if I need to say something in a language I can't speak or show some literature - there are hundreds of languages there and more will be translated..
welcome to friend me in Facebook, my second name is Sandström

@GegeTheMechanic It would be nice to learn Italian too, and it is rather easy to pronounce for us who speak Finnish - much like Spanish..

I only speak two languages but I tried to learn another but it was just hard and I didn't have motivation to continue. But I only wished I could learn them all.
