Poll: How many languages can you fluently speak?

[SturmDolch]

Three.

English, Swiss-German, and German.

Swiss-German is a dialect of German, but it's very distinct; people from Germany usually can't understand it.

I also speak intermediate French and Spanish.

Americanese!

Just kidding. I lived on the U.S./Mexico border until I was 6, then moved away. By then, I didn't have a need to speak Spanish. However, English was my best subject in high school. I figure if I'm only going to speak one language, I should speak it well.

4. English, Arabic (if you split it up into Gulf Arabic and North African Arabic which are kind of like Norwegian and Swedish, i have 5 languages), Swedish and German. Or... Well, i have an excellent understanding of German but i don't speak it 100% fluently. I slip up occasionally.

I'd say four, but really, three: Russian, Latvian, English. Fourth would be German. Although I have a diploma that I've learned it and am authorized to even study in Germany, my vocabulary sucks because of lack of practice. I'm still good at grammar etc of it.

 

[Someone Depressing]

I can speak English (my native language) And a little bit of French, and have been learning Japanese. The webside said "Learn Japanese in 5 easy steps!" Aparently someone forgot to add the "And 10,000 hard steps!" Bit in. I guess since I know crap about Japanese (And what I do know is basically verbal inputs) I guesse that doesnt count. So 2.

 

[Wolfram23]

English and french (french immersion school from k-9). So 2. But I can get by in spanish as well.

 

[the_Origin]

1 English

I spent 6 years trying to learn spanish.... I can still barley make coherent sentences.

Swiss-German is a dialect of German, but it's very distinct; people from Germany usually can't understand it.

And Cuban is very different from Mexican and a lot of people can't understand it, but that doesn't make it a different language, just a strong accent.

I don't understand the trend in this threat of cosnidering different languages what are basically dialects. I don't speak Mexican, I speak Spanish, and it proabbly has more diferences tha German and Swiss German (after two centuries of separation and an ocean in the middle).

 

[monkey_man]

Have you heard me talking? I keep tripping over words in any language!
It's fine in my head, but I think my tongue is stupid.

 

[David_G]

3, my own (Macedonian), Croatian/Serbian (they're very similar) and of course, English. Now I'm in the process of learning French, which is going pretty well.

 

[Marmal4de]

I speak Hebrew fluently, but since both my parents are immigrants (American mom and Australian dad) English is my mother tongue and I express myself far better in English. I also studied a bit of German but i'm by no means fluent.

 

[Kinguendo]

Pig Latin and English here.

Oh ome-cay on! Ig-pay atin-lay oesnt-day ount-cay, its oo-tay imple-say!

 

[Assassin Xaero]

C#, ASP, AJAX, Basic, thinking of learning some Python, C++, Java...

...

Oh, you mean those languages... hmm... English.

 

[Kadoodle]

About 1.5

I'm fluent in English, and just barely fluent in Hebrew...

 

[Maclennan]

I just speak English, but my technical communications prof seem to think that i am unable to speak even English.

 

[Marowit]

Fluently, just English.

If I had 6mo. to bum around I'd have my French up to fluency though. And, I'm slowly working on Japanese via Rosetta Stone..but that shit's expensive!

 

[C.S.Strowbridge]

Am I the only one who thinks there should be an option for none?
