How many languages do you know?

English and French, fluently. German and Spanish enough to order a beer and indicate that I don't really know the language. PHP, HTML etc on the computer.
 
I grew up speaking English and Gujarati (Indian dialect) at home.

I took 3 years of French in high school, and I remember most of it but it's been getting rusty lately.

I can follow a conversation in Hindi and Urdu pretty well, but I can't speak any of it.

My Spanish and Italian are limited to simple words and phrases, so when I get the chance, I'll be learning more of both.

And if we're counting professional jargon, I'll soon have "American Law" under my belt as well. :p:eek:
 
I speak English natively and have been studying French and Spanish, and I know phrases in about a dozen other languages. Working on Latin at the moment.
 
Right now, English and Japanese. American born but started learning Japanese in high school. Continuing it in college now (sophomore), and want a degree in it along with meteorology. Been to Japan during the summer between my junior and senior years in high school, and it was one of the greatest places I've ever gone to. Going back to Japan in 2013 to work for a year in the JET program.

日本語がちょっと難しいだけど、本当に面白いよ！　ここに誰が日本語を話せるの？
 
English. studied Spanish for 6 years and am relatively fluent however i always struggled with verb tenses and am starting to lose the language all together because i stopped studying it. took a semester of Latin already and am taking another semester of it then i'll probably be done with that as well.

i wish i focused a bit more on Spanish in high school cause i definitely would have liked to pursue that as a minor even just continue it in college.

i kind of know a couple phrases in French, German, and Vietnamese but that obviously doesn't count. :p
 
I'm a native English speaker doing immersion in French, after 4 months I'm a good solid intermediate, hope to be completely fluent by the end of June... I studied Spanish in high school and can understand a lot of it, but speaking is much more difficult for me...

After the French and relearning the Spanish, I hope to pick up German.
 
English, German, Java, C, C++, Python, OpenGL (kind of a language), Mathematica, Assembly, HTML, CSS, Javascript

I'm also learning ASL. :eek:
 
English, Italian, Dutch, Java, C, Objective-C.

A bit rusty on several of them though :(

You must be related to my wife's family - her dad, grandfather, and niece all mumble. We're trying to get our son to stop doing it.

As for myself, I took three years of Spanish in high school, had a Salvadorean roommate for a time in college, and worked in a furniture factory where I was one of only a handful of people who knew any substantial amount of both English and Spanish. Combine that with the fact that I live in Texas, and you could probably guess that the bits of Spanish I know haven't gotten rusty. :cool:
 
Does lolcat count? :p

I speak Portuguese and English fluently. I speak a little French. I understand some Italian and Spanish but mix them up if I try to speak them. :p

English, C#, VB.Net, HTML, CSS, and a little Japanese (enough to know to pick たたかう in JRPGs in order to attack things :p).

Well, as unfamiliar as Japanese can be to an English speaker, I personally think it makes more sense to learn Romaji first before moving on to Hiragana and Katakana.
