How many languages do you know?

Basically another tedious SDN demographic poll. By know, I mean you can read/write/speak pretty good, but you aren't necessarily fluent. That way, you can still count a language you haven't used in a couple years.

I know 3: English (duh), Polish and French (which is still a little iffy).

Does Latin count?

Why wouldn't it?

I know three: English (native), German (basic, grammar okay but vocabulary is terrible), and Japanese (can recognise some stuff and read some katakana/hiragana).

I am anative english speaker, and also speak German. I am working on learning Latin in my spare time.

One and a half; I rounded up. My Latin's a little too rusty to use conversationally anymore.

I speak German well enough to order food or find the bathroom.

I'd say three, but Broken English doesn't count as a language...

So, English and Spanish, but my Spanish is very rusty.

Three: English, Tagalog(Filipino), and Spanish

English and Norwegian, but I can understand Swedish and Danish(since they are extremely similar to Norwegian, except spoken Danish, which, IMO sounds very different from spoken Swedish and Norwegian) and most Swedish and Danish people would probably understand Norwegian.

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2004-04-20 08:01pm

Isn't that because Norwegian and Swedish are technically the same language?

English, enough French to survive in France, and maybe a few words in German.

2 and 1/1000000. English, French (reasonable level considering i'm american and in 9th grade

) and various spanish, polish and russian words.

I speak Russian and English fluently (as you may have noticed.

). I also know some French from HS, although I've forgotten most of it. Basically, I can undrestand most things that are written in French, and can form some basic sentences, but don't expect any feats of linguistics from me.

My friend's parents are professional linguists and they know 11 languages.

Have a very nice day.

I know English (very well, thanks to prolific reading), Vietnamese (can't write in my own native language, how pathetic), and barely know Spanish.

Darth_Fin · Post by **Darth_Fin** » 2004-04-20 08:39pm

I know spanish, english and currently studying japanese.

Batman · Post by **Batman** » 2004-04-20 08:40pm

I know dozens of languages.
Chinese,Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, several varaitions of English, Tagalog, Esperanto, Japanese, Dutch, Belgian, Polish, Hungarian...
I'm reasonably certain they're talking languages You can actually speak, Master Bruce...
Oh.

In that case, I'm afraid I'm limited to german and english.
I was middlin' competent in Latin until I no longer needed to (i.e. when I finished school)...

English and Spanish, although I know basic French, Polish and Hebrew as well. Only voted for 2 though (didn't cheat), because I'd have a hard time holding a conversation in the last three.

DPDarkPrimus · Post by **DPDarkPrimus** » 2004-04-20 09:26pm

English and Japanese.

Exonerate · Post by **Exonerate** » 2004-04-20 09:26pm

I have a native proficiency with English, and was also raised with Mandarin Chinese. Unfortunately, my Chinese has deteriorated quite a bit, and while I can speak and understand it just fine, reading and writing becomes a little more challenging.

I'm also a second year student of Japanese, so that's about 2.5 languages. I rounded up

Batman · Post by **Batman** » 2004-04-20 09:27pm

Okay, I'm officially depressed.

Is there anybody here who doesn't know more than 1 foreign language?
