franciedes Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 My native language is Mandarin. I can also speak English, Malay, Cantonese and Hakka (Chinese dialects). Also I can speak some Japanese and Italian, though not fluently. Link to post Share on other sites
KTBeth Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Native English speaker, took Ukrainian for 13 years, though I'm not nearly fluent, and I speak a little bit of French. Link to post Share on other sites
jlbeatty Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I said one because I'm only fluent in one although I took a couple of years of Spanish so I could kind of survive in Spain and I'm currently taking Latin although I'm not sure if that counts because it's a dead language so yeah just one.

specterspark Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I'm fluent in both English and ASL! Does the cryptic dialect known as Southern Californian count as its own thing too? Haha! Link to post Share on other sites
oopgoo Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 English is my first language, but know a few things in Spanish. Unfortunately, the courses I've been on are pathetic. One of them taught me how to say things like "What do you think of the current political situation in Egypt?" which was totally useless because I had no idea what the answer would be (unless it was "Good" or "Bad), and another taught me how to say things like "The purple jellyfish is on the table" or "The green goose is in the drawer". Ahyes, and I've read a book which was written in Spanglish, and I learnt a few swears from that. I think it was a good idea for me to have put down the answer as 'one'. ;) Link to post Share on other sites
Melethril Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 That's a difficult one to answer! English is my native language, and I have rusty conversational French. I also learned German at school, and can speak a few thousand words of Italian, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese and Finnish although I have no grammar to speak of (no pun intended... okay, maybe just a bit ) in any of those languages...

Fray Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 English speaker here, but I have a working knowledge of Latin (studied for 7 years over the course of elementary and high school). Currently working on becoming fluent in both Italian and German. :) Link to post Share on other sites
KidGloved Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 French and English. Link to post Share on other sites
Serrated Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I voted 2 -- English is the only language I know fluently, but I know enough Spanish, VB.NET and Java that I figured it couldn't hurt if I rounded up... Although, I imagine programming languages aren't what you were implying... Link to post Share on other sites
Piotrek Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 My native language is Polish. Answering which foreign languages I speak is tricky, but if we assume that the main criterion is holding a conversation then I can speak: - English (though, it's embarassingly halty sometimes as I don't use it very often [in speech]) - Italian (here the level is way lower than with English, and I rarely get to test it on native speakers) Link to post Share on other sites
Mr No Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I speak native English and fluent Esperanto, but I can also understand (and just about speak badly if I need to) German and French, and I learnt a bit of toki pona (still planning on learning the rest of it...). I don't really count those, so I went for 2. Link to post Share on other sites
