What Languages Do You Speak?

What languages do you speak? Just curious how many of you are bilingual/trilingual. How did you learn the languages you speak?

I speak French in addition to English, with moderate fluency after five years of study. I just started learning Russian as of recently. My vocabularly is limited, but it's been fun so far.

English, moderate Japanese and Cambodian, and limited Korean, German, and Italian.

english :(

i can do very limited Maori.
i would like to take my Maori further and also try Japanese or something.
how does one go about learning another lanuguage?

Besides English, I know enough French to get by and my Mandarin is passable (for about a six year old)

English and sign language.

Grew up near the only 4 year college in the US for deaf/hard of hearing. My home town had the state's School for the Deaf. Lots of my friends lived in the town because they moved there because they had deaf parents or siblings.

Sign is getting rusty though, haven't used it very much in about a decade.

Russian, Japanese, English, and some French.

English and not very well :finger:

I speak English (native tongue), German (have had 4 years of study), I know about 4 Russian phrases (Ya Shpion ;) --definately j/k), I know some very limited ASL (American Sign Language), and I can say "Thank you very much" and count to 99 in Japanese!!! :D

edit: I somehow managed to forget to list "Pittsburghese" in that list! :p

English,have forgotten French,German,and Spanish for normal purposes,but can still follow the gist of any writing.:flash:

french and some english(sometimes it just sounds weird:D )

Irish, English, French, Portuguese, Russian, German. Some are better than others. My first language is Irish, my English just happens to be better than it :p

English, Irish and currently learning Japanese

English and a little spanish

I speak SSE fluently. I have for 14 years.

Ich kann sprechen Deutsch. Art von.

Trato de aprender el español.

Engligh and some Japanese :)

english, some spanish, and in the process of learning greek. i want to learn german eventually so when i go to germany i'll be able to speak the language. :) would a college beginner's course be too hard to take if i didn't know any german??

geez there is alot of lingual talent on this board!!!

I speak English, American, a little French, and ENGINEERING!!!

believe me, american and english are totally different. And engineering is not either. example:

English: Turn on the stove.
American: Hit the heater.
Engineering: Calibrate thermal integration unit to 390.15 kelvin.

another:

English: Make me a sandwich, please.
American: Slap a mooburger in a blanket and chuck it here.
Engineering: Place one beef pattie in between two soft bread peices and proceed to take said unit and bring it to me at a speed of 8 km/hr.

See what I mean?

English is all i know....but i know plenty of others when i'm pissed off or mad.

Done French at school but dont remember a word of it now.

English, Spanish, and limited Italian

English, a tiny bit o Spanish, and foul language (when something breaks or when I am in traffic).

English, chineese, Japaneese, vietnameese, and bad words in just about everything else :silly2: :D :silly2:

English, some French, some Polish

English, and a tiny bit of Japanese I learned when I lived there for a month serveral centuries ago, I can write and read French, but I can't speak it.

I am fluent in English (it is my first language), learning Japanese now, can read Latin and know enough Spanish to get directions and find out where the bathroom is. I want to learn as many langauges as I possibly can. My preferred order:

1) Japanese
2) Latin (so I can speak)
3) Spanish
4) Russian
5) French
6) Greek
7) Hebrew

I think it would be really cool to be able to speak 8 languages fluently. I want to learn Greek and Hebrew so I can read the original passages of the Bible. Japanese so I can read manga and about cars, Latin so I can read ancient philosophy, Spanish because that is a growing demographic here in the US, Russian to read Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy in their original tongue, and French because it seems to go over well with the ladies! :D

English, Italiano, Espanol, Francais, some German, SOME syrian/lebanese (enough to get me killed by crazy terrorists), some Swiss German (yes there is a difference)....oh and a few words of bosnian lol.

English, Vietnamese, very basic french, a few words of cantonese (from kung fu movies) oh, and lots of aussie slang :D

English and 1 1/2 years of spanish so far.

English, Polish, German.

pretty fluent in all of them.

kb, 'sprechen' ist an das ende des satz, nach 'Deutsch'. Nur eine kleine Korrektur. :)
