How many languages do you speak?

i come from indonesia. well my english very poor, my chinese not bad, my french small point;)

english, urdu, gujrati, marathi and tamil

I speak English fluently. In high school, I took 5 years of spanish, and can speak enough now to get me by if I need to use it. I am an American living overseas in Italy, and before our family came over here I brushed up on the Italian I already knew and helped my 3 kids learn enough to get them by. My youngest is 6, and our base doesn't have pre-school so they encourage us to use the local Italian preschool systems, and so we did that for her. After preschool, we kept her in the Italian school system for kindergarten and now first grade. She is fluent in English and Italian, and she can read and write in both languages. I also volunteer and teach English at her old preschool, and another local preschool, which has helped me increase my use of Italian.

In my social group I am practically illiterate. Maybe it's because I live in Toronto where there are lots of immigrants, but my friends speak French, Italian, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian, Ukranian, Croatian, Gaelic and Japanese. And I only speak English! At work it's even worse. I started trying to learn German but I didn't really stick with it. Maybe I should make that one of my New Year's resolutions.

I am like you and took 3 years of French in school.. that was 15 years ago.. I remember very little.. In our schools they teach the kids a second language (choices between Spanish and French) but not until Jr high and high school. I wish I could speak more languages.. but I haven't made the attempt to learn.

malay,english,and german

i can speak english, hindi, telgue, spanish

I only speak english fluently though I did take spanish when I was in high school and I took French while I was in college. I never did get to learn to speak them fluently though but may try when I have time and the money. I think it would be good for americans to learn other languages now, especially since we have many hispanics and other nationalities living in our country.

I speak English, Dutch and German. My german is poor, but I can speak it. in canada the children will learn also french.

I speak Engish and very little spanish (but I'm trying to learn).

im from India.In my school English is my second language,so im good in that .I know two languages"tamil and english"

i know Romanian, my native language, and English (advanced), French(intermediate), Italian(intermediate), Spanish (a few phrases)

Yes I live in Australia and we do encourage our children to learn other languages, while kids are in school. I speak four languages not fluent but enough to get by my main language is English though, but I do think it is great to understand other languages.

I'm from the Philippines, so i could speak more than 1 language. Aside from Filipino, which is our national language, I also speak Illonggo, one of our many native languages. I speak English because it is a very important language in our country. I have some friends who speaks 5 languages or more. They know more native languages and have been thought French and Spanish in school.

I speak abt 5 languages, Hindi, English, Tamil, Kannada & Marathi There are more than 112 languages in my country

I am from Romania, and i speek normaly romanian language, but also i know and english,because is international language. If I must to in other country, i must to know english,bacause if i don't know any language i can't speek with other people, and i cannot buy food.

I myself, am an american, I only know one language, and thats english. I dont really care for other languages, but if i was given the option to choose a language I would like to learn, it would be either chinese or japanese. By the way was the pic really necesarry in your beginning post hockey? Unless that was you actually learning french. Otherwise i think you just want extra ka ching.

I speak English as a U.S. born citizen. Learned Spanish while living abroad in Spain. Learned Portuguese from my wife and am trying to learn Latin. Which I'm finding most difficult. ‹(°¿°)›

I am endeavoring to learn Spanish. It takes a lot more than a few years of classes to become fluent in any language, after all. I try to pick up as much of other languages as I can when I'm in a position to be exposed to them. Really, a lot of Americans have lost the languages their ancestors spoke and are trying to regain them which is not easy. I used to know a bit of German. I'm afraid I've not had much luck being able to understood spoken French at all but then I never had any classes in it. I can pick out a few words or phrases that are obvious and slowly spoken but that's it. I know a small amount of (spoken) Japanese because I watch way too much subtitled anime (as well as imported 'regular' films) and eventually you get to the point that you can figure out some of what's being said without looking at the subtitles. Well, I should say, back to the French, I have been picking up new words thanks to genealogy research. Some of the records are in French. Oh, happy day!

I'm fortunate since I live in a country with 4 official languages: German, Italian, French, Rumantsch. I speak fluently all of them exept Rumantsch wich only a minority of people know, I speak English as well and I'm really interested in languages because I'd like to be a translator.
