Poll: How many languages can you fluently speak?

[Distorted Stu]

English and Binary

 

[Queltherio]

I know English and learned enough Japanese from anime to hold a conversation.

 

[Gavmando]

Just Stryne. It's the Australian version of English.

 

[Ulquiorra4sama]

Norwegian and English.

I know a bit japanese and spanish, but i would in no way say i speak those latter ones fluently.

 

[Senaro]

It used to be three, for English, French, and ASL, but I'm so out of practice that I've lost most of my vocabulary for the latter two.

 

[gamefreakbsp]

Only english for me. Hoping to change that someday.

 

[babinro]

I used to be fluent in English and French, but having only kept with English for 10+ years I've lost almost all of my French.

No regrets though, I've not seen the purpose in knowing more than one language and as such I don't strive to get my French back or any other language.

I'm curious about the poll though..over 12% of people here are fluent in three languages...seems a very high percentage of what would be a typical grouping. I'd have only expected 12% know two languages fluently given how hard it is for workplaces to find bilingual employees. Perhaps escapists are above the norm in this sort of thing...or the places I grew up in are well below it.

More fun to post my fathers as i only know two myself =)
He speaks english, french, dainish, flemish/dutch and german fluently and he's quite good at spanish, italian and greek

 

[Beryl77]

I can speak Albanian, German and English, my French isn't so good, so I don't think it counts as fluent speaking.

 

[MarcusD357]

I speak fluent English, Ghetto and Chav

 

[DragonsAteMyMarbles]

Early Morning Grunting, Frustrated Gibberish, SCIENCE and three variations of English (Generic North of England, Over-The-Top-Hammy, Ooo-Arr-Comboine-'ArvesterAs opposed to a realistic West Country accent)

All technically the same language, of course.

 

[Sticky Squid]

Only English fluently, but I can speak fragmented French.

 

[similar.squirrel]

Fluent in English and Hungarian. I canspeak German and Irish too, but by no means well.

 

[gizunt]

Hebrew,English and Russian. so far I'm the only one with Hebrew!!! I'm special!!

 

[gaiaquasar]

English and French fluently, can get by in Spanish, and I can make myself understood in American Sign Language, though you have to sign really slowly and spell some things for me to understand you.

 

[Malyc]

If i speak 2 languages, im bilingual, 3 languages makes me trilingual, but what does speaking only one language make me?

Spoiler

An American, of course!

 

[Ledan]

Swedish, French and English. I'm Swedish so I've learnt Swedish, but I grew up outside of Sweden. 7 years in Francophone countries so I know French, and all of my middle and highschool has been in english

 

[Rewdalf]

Just two.
Bulgarian, my native, and English...
And that's only counting fluent.
I know a bit of German and Russian, although the Russian bit is because I'm Slavic, and I guess I have to know a bit of Russian.

 

[Peter Langdijk]

I speak Dutch and English Perfectly, but then i,m dutch so thats logical.
I can also curse at you in Italian, French, German, Japenese, Spanish, Dutch and English.

 

[Tom Phoenix]

I speak English, Slovenian and Serbian fluently. So three languages.

Well, technically six, if I count Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrian. I mean, each of those languages has its own unique characteristics, but the similarities between them and Serbian far outweigh any differences.
