    Default How many languages do you speak?

    And what are they?

    EDIT: Before you say that the 30 poll options are too much, I know a guy who can speak 27 languages!

    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.

    Cool Re: How many languages do you speak?

    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.

    Anyways:

    German
    English
    French (speak, not write so well)
    Russian (a touch, not much really)
    Spanish (I can say "Excuse me sir, I seem to have lost my cheese", and nothing else)

    Oh, and Ostfränkisch.

    I speak English and Vietnamese (only the southern dialect however, I don't know the Bac Viet dialect or the Hue dialect).
