Native French & English; fluent German; moderate Spanish; basic Russian; passing familiarity with Mandarin Chinese, and I once took a course in Finnish, but that's mostly gone.
Ha yeah I'm one of them. My reason for not speaking Chinese (Cantonese) properly was that my parent didn't send me to this Chinese speaking school when I was little althought my older brother did get to go there (it was something about this great teacher left by the time I was in the right age).SckizoBoy said:I was about to say that as a BBC, it should be obvious what languages I speak, though I'm shocked by how many there are that don't speak Chinese of one persuasion or another...
Anyway: English; Cantonese; Japanese; casual German; even more casual French; and bullshit.
Resent the remark about Welsh. 611,000 people speak it. That's the size of a small town. It's also a beautiful language. Horrendous to write, but pretty. It's also a somewhat inbred cousin to Breton.Patrick Buck said:English, German, and as of last thursday, french. (German and french at GCSE Level.)
Not too bad considering I'm 16.... Gunna learn welsh to. Just because almost No-one knows it. :')

I also understand a little Dutch (and can read it).
Ah, but I am actually welsh. Just never learned it, living in england. So that's my main reason for learning it. I didn't actually check how many people could speak it, so I do resent the first statment.... But mandarin... Eh, I'm more attached to wales. It's closer. And home.Frission said:Resent the remark about Welsh. 611,000 people speak it. That's the size of a small town. It's also a beautiful language. Horrendous to write, but pretty.

Try learning Mandarin, if you can learn something with such strange Grammar as German (not offense to them, but what's with the placement? It's torture) and actually consider learning Welsh, you can learn Mandarin.
