I was just wondering how many, including your first language you can speak.
English is my first language, but I'm learning french at school :)

English (mother tongue) and Dutch

:P Only one, English, but recently I've been trying to learn Spanish.

Dutch (mother tongue), English, German

English only but i've tryed to learn french & spanish.

just english, obviously, would like to try and learn spanish and/or french on my own over the summer

English is my native tongue, but I am in my second year of German at school.

It's pretty frustrating considering the fact that my Spanish teacher can hardly speak english.

Why are you called Dutch.American if you don't even speak Dutch then?

Dutch is my native language, I mostly use English for online use only these days.
I get by in German and French if I have to.

English, obviously. I'm learning Spanish, and I know a little Japanese. Given a dictionary, I could probably hack my way through a sentence in French too.

Portuguese is my mother tongue, but I studied English from 8 to 18 years of age, and now I'm in my second year of French. I do understand Spanish and Castellano, because it's really similar to Portuguese. I can also read in Italian, but then my skills are really limited in that language, hehe!

Dutch (native)
English
Chinese (a dialect)
some german

English is my mother tongue, but i'm learning French. I learnt some German last year, and I know a few words in Amharic :)

Amharic = ?

English is my first language also, and I can speak fairly good Spanish. But I gotta say, those of you whose native language is not english speak MUCH better english than I could ever speak spanish!

Amharic is what they speak in Ethiopia, or parts of Ethiopia, but i went there last easter to build houses for the poor.

Hahaha, that's because of the phonems (I don't know if that's the right word) and the muscles in our faces. Spanish people are the ones that have most trouble when speaking other languages, because Spanish is the language with less phonems. ;)

English is my first language, but I know basic French and Spanish.

I speak english fluently and French partly fluently.

I speak a total of one language (on a good day)

If someone spoke french I could probably follow the conversation, but barely. I know a fair amount of french words, I just can't string them together to form a sentence lol.

English, and I've been learning French since I was about 6... my reading and writing are all right, I can follow a conversation if people don't talk quickly, but me speaking it is a completely different thing :P And I know a select few words in German and Czech... like hello :P

English (native) French,German,Spanish

I'm fluent in English and Spanish, and I know a tiny bit of German. ._.

English is my native tounge, and I'm what you'd call 75% fluent in German. I have 95% of all the grammar down, I just need to keep adding vocab words, because the bird can't fly if it ain't got no wings, as the saying goes.

Two; English and Vietnamese. It'd be three, but I dropped Japanese two years ago (I plan to take it on again later this year).

I speak English (my mother tongue)...my Chinese mother attempted to teach me Chinese, but sadly it failed. :P I've also taken French for a couple of years, three or four, I think, so I can speak rudimentary (note, very easy, lol) french. Next year, I'm going to take spanish too- I like languages, but I'm horrible at them and my accent is atrocious.

I'm in my fourth year of Spanish (the year where they make you un-learn all the grammar stuff that you've learned up to that point). I can read and write it quite well, I can follow a conversation if the people aren't speaking too fast, but speaking...I go through all the verb conjugations in my head, so my sentence goes..."Mi amiga---compraré, comprarás... comprará un libro manaña"

(my friend will buy a book tomorrow.)

if it ain't got no wings
what was that about speaking English? :P

English is my native language, and I can speak some Spanish, but not enough to be particularly useful.

well, i am english - so english is my first language but i can also speak french. i learnt it at school from a young age but i now help teach a class on wednesdays for young children. my nan speaks dutch so i know some odd words but i aint fluent!!! i am learning some german at the moment but i am progressing very slowly, lol.

English, American, Australian :stickout: so i guess 1 :D

I speak English :P

I know a bit of Spanish because I took 4 years of it in high school, and if I had continued I would probably be fluent. But I got lazy/frustrated.

I'd like to learn German and Italian someday, but I'm crap at memorization so learning languages isn't exactly easy for me.

Well i can speak english!...... but that'd probly be coz i'm english. Oh i can speak a bit of french, ive been learning for 2 years...thats bout it!

:froggie2: *princess frog dude*

It's a saying, because I know English idioms and expressions.

:P

I know English and some German and just a little French and Spanish

i am fluent in english and russian, and i've taken private french lessons for a few years [as well as french in school] so.. i could survive in france without using any english if i needed to.

German,English and French but maby English doesn`t count :rolleyes:
:guitar:-Kubi

English and I'm working on my second year of German. I took Spanish for two years, but couldn't remember it to save my life. :P

English is my first language, and I'm learning Spanish and French...plus I know a few words in a load of other languages, but I don't think they count... :rolleyes:

lol, I can only really speak one language.. unless pig latin counts. :hehe:

I know a little bit of German and a little bit of French and probably the equivalent of two years of Spanish. I wish I could learn Japanese though!

I tried to learn dutch once (Marianne inspired me :)) ...but that didn't work out too well :lol: I took french at my old school, but at this school they don't offer it, so I take spanish. Don't really remember enough french to say that I speak it :P

lol, jus the 1 language... we learn french at skool but i don't tryin it

I speak English and Hungarian, and learn German and French.

I speak English, obviously, and I've had almost two years of Spanish and almost one year of Latin.

I tried to learn dutch once (Marianne inspired me :)) ...but that didn't work out too well :lol: ...
I remember that hehe. Dutch is a very difficult language to learn. My sister-in-law has been living here for over 1.5 years now, and she's only just beginning to understand most things, but speaking back is still hard for her, and she still makes loads of mistakes.

[off topic] I'm taking a class on the history of English, and we're going over some other languages to notice patterns, etc. The other languages aren't labeled, but I knew one was Dutch because I recognized a few of the words I saw on the forum :lol: [/off topic]

Haha, Dutchables taking over the world :D

English (mother tounge) Japanese, and I learned French in high school :)

I am fluent in English and profanity (*Grins*) I know some German, and a smattering of Spanish.

I refuse to learn French.
