Poll: Do you know more than one language?

[Thaliur]

Yep. English, Dutch and a little German

For me it's similar, English, German and a little Dutch, because of growing up on the border.

Actually, since this is more or less an international site with English as the common language, maybe it would be better to ask "Do you speak a language other than your mother tongue and English?".

 

[l3o2828]

I speak English and Spanish.

 

[Denamic]

What kind of school does not teach a secondary language to a degree of proficiency?
We started in 3rd grade and added a third language at 6th grade.

 

[Saelune]

No. I want to learn Japanese though. If I intend to move to Japan one day, I should KNOW THE LANGUAGE.
Anyways...
I took Spanish for like, 5-6 years, but I wasnt into it, and I learned basically nothing.

 

[LCP]

Spanish and English, and Spanglish... I'd like to learn a bit more Asian languages tho... either Chinese or Japanese

 

[corsair47]

yes, fluent in english and french, and i know a little bit of spanish

 

[The Apothecarry]

Grew up on English and took two years of Japanese in high school.

 

[Chalacachaca]

Fluent: Spanish and English (Almost every accent from South and Central America, standard Spanish accent, and both standard American and English accents, a bit clunky with irish and scottish).

A bit: French and Portugese (I can read portugese, but not speak it).

Want to: Japanese and Russian.

 

[SilentCom]

Unfortunately I only know one language. I know a little bit of Japanese and tiny tidbits of other languages, but I am not fluent in any of them.

 

[DSQ]

Unless you count scots as another language, witch I don't no matter how much the scottish goventment try to force me, then no.

I live in the UK witch is pretty bad as teaching languages go and the family that I have that is from overseas come from english speaking countries (St.Vincent and Jamacia).

I tryed learning German at high school, I went all the way up to scottish higher level, but both my german teacher and I agreed languages and DSQ did not not go well together.

I am a big supporter of learning languages but I myself seem to never progress far in my language studys unless I am forced to speek another language daily.

That is why I am going on a gap year to japan in two years. Wish me luck.

 

[NicolasMarinus]

Being from Belgium, we have our three local languages (Dutch, French and German). I'm also fluent in English and have a feeble grasp on Spanish (enough to get me to the next town and find a bed).

 

[TheBadGamer]

Yes, fluent in Swedish and almost fluent in English.

[Drunkenclam]

English, irish and a bit of french.

 

[Naeo]

English, a fair bit of Latin (I have a bit of difficulty speaking it but can read/write/listen to a good deal of it without trouble), a small bit of German (enough to get the gist of most basic statements; it's been 4 years since I actually studied it, though), bare-boned bits of Icelandic and Finnish.

 

[InsipidMadness]

English, of course, and American Sign Language, which I don't see a lot of here.
