Well I voted 2 because, although I'm far from fluent in French, I've been learning for 5 years and can communicate more or less what I want to say, even if it still has errors.
The other language should be pretty obvious. ~D
30 poll choices, and no Gah!? :gah2:
Polish, english on intermediate and I can read russian
English, French, German and Spanish.
A pretty good start, don't you think? I'm thinking of (later, that is) learning Russian, Dutch and Arabic.
Oh, Vuk... What languages could that guy speak? I'm intrigued.
Can actually anyone read what I writed in sig?Quote:
can read russian
....edited, or I might get another warning for swearing...
English and some Spanish. 2 :yes: :beam:
French, english, breton and chinese (but my chinese is worse than it used to be, I seldom speak chinese when working in forestry). Also learned russian for long, long long time ago and it's gone, alas. Now it's only useful when I go travelling in Mongolia, since Mongolian is written with cyrillic alphabet.
@charge: of course I can read it but I really can't understand it anymore!
English, Spanish and I'm working on Chinese. After that? I'd like Arabic but teachers of that are hard to come by.
Chinese's my mother tongue, English is my secondary language. And learned French and German for 3 years then dropped French, but still taking German for GCSE. Is the 4? or is that 2? :dizzy2:

There are over 150 european languages .Quote:

Still 27 languages is one hell of an achievement .
My mother tongue, English and a bizarre mixture of French, German and English that me and a friend communicate with. Frangleutsch!
3: Dutch (my mother tongue), French and English.
Dutch, English and German. My Frankophonics have rusted shut over the years.
Ach... maybe a bit of this, and a bit of that, you know. My interpreter
speaks five and a bit though, so I'm fine with that. ~;p
There might, perhaps, if you're really, really lucky, be a hint in my signature or my location. ~;)Quote:

Very basic knowledge of German and Basic knowledge of Spanish. I don't consider myself able to speak them though.

I can speak English, French, Chinese, Italian.
Portuguese (mother language), English fluently, French badly, Spanish (but this is kinda cheating since it´s so close to Portuguese), I can understand some Italian but not really speak it...and I know half a dozen words in Hebrew and Russian.
Yo hablo tres idiomas diferentes:
First spanish, for where I live that's the native language.
Logo ingleis pos ese e o lenguagem que mais me gosta.
And lastly portugues, the language of my mother...
EDIT: Also apparently kamikhaan knows how to speak 30 languages so I'll have to be careful of what I write when he is around...
Let's say three: Serbian, English and German. But my German is quite bad. When I try to read complicated sentences in German, and see five verbs at the end I have no strength to put them in their proper places :laugh4: . But it is improving on a daily basis...
"He who takes up the sword, will die by the sword" or something like that?Quote:

And ...there are lots of nations in modern europe with several national languages , there are about 150 european languages used just in the countries of the European union ..not all countries in Europe are in the unionQuote:

:laugh4: Okay, caught me. No, I don't really speak 30 languages, more like one and one half. Very good English, if I do say do myself, and rather broken, muddled French. Just wanted to see what any reaction might be to it.Quote:

English is my native language and I learned Deutsch fur zwei Jahre, aber meine Grammatik ist sehr schlect. I haven't taken it in a year however so I don't speak it or write it well. I do understand a decent amount when I'm reading it.
Armenian (mother tongue) and English.
English, Chinese, and Spanish for me...

Oh, and Ostfränkisch. :laugh4:
I speak English and Vietnamese (only the southern dialect however, I don't know the Bac Viet dialect or the Hue dialect).
Depends on what you mean by "speak". I can hold a short and ugly conversation in German, and know a slither of French - though grammar is virtually none existant.
I'm only fluent in English and Spanish. Polyglots scare me.
English and Spainish and one day if I can make time ebonix
Indeed. I could have an ugly conversation in french, a normal conversation in german, and difficult conversations in dutch and english.Quote:

And of cause I'm pretty good in British, American and India-English.
I'm amazed at the large number of people who speak Chinese here. I would have expected a more English + 1-2 other Western languages distribution for the ORG.
You may guess which I speak, but I won't tell :tongue2:
English?Quote:

My most proficient foreign language is Spanish, I'd say, which is one I picked up in later life rather than at school. I'd say if I was dropped into a Spanish-speaking country I'd have no difficulties surviving, anyway. (Okay, I may have problems with pure Castillano - I learnt my Spanish in Latin America where the phonetics are so much kinder to us English speakers :2thumbsup: ) French and German I took at school, but have forgotten way too much, due to lack of practice. A bit of Nederlands after a few months working in Zeeland (no jokes from you Hollanders about my accent, ok? :beam: ) and a tiny amount of Italian - and I can buy beer in Turkish, Portuguese, Ukrainian (well, vodka, strictly - when in Rome etc), and International Sign Language for all the rest of the world.
If that doesn't cover what I need, well I just SHOUT LOUDER :laugh4:
So you can speak 30 languages also SFTS? :P lol
I only speak English. I'm learning German though I'm not good at it and I could get tickets, food, and drink in Spanish if I need to though conversation is completely out of the question.
And Macsen Rufus I'm glad I'm not the only proponent of volume as a pure medium of communication. I swear that yelling louder and pointing more furiously does get the point across, especially when the speech is laced with a few English cuss words.
I think EMFM was banging his head against the wall because it should be rather obvious that I speak diese andere Sprache.Quote:

I'd also like to see Macsen Rufus communicate really loud using international sign language. ~D
Why not? :beam: I do. :PQuote:
