As suggested by IvanTih

English and only english. Since I'm American, they didn't stress the importance of other languages in school... Although I did stay in Spanish until I was a senior, it was a breeze because the teachers did next to nothing when it came to the actual language. I tested out of it for college... that's good I guess.

English, Korean, Japanese.

I speak english and bad english.

AMERICA FTW.

Does a language that i can write but not speak count?
Otherwise its two.
(haven't voted yet...)

I can carry a simple conversation in german and french.

My spanish teacher sucked, so I never learned anything.

I am always amazed by people who can learn multiple languages as I have trouble talking coherently in one.

English + Greek. Thanks ancestry.

Finnish + English + Swedish. Could not add German with good conscience since it is really rusty after 10+ years of disuse.

I speak Swedish as mothers tongue, and fluent English for obvious reasons Also my Spanish is not that shabby
since the missus is from Latin America

//Edge

English, Russian and Farsi. Military necessity.

Faroese (about 60000 people total speak this, but I´m from the country so hah)
Danish (second language)
English (school)
Swedish (midway between faroese and danish)
Norway (very similar to swedish)

So five, that I can speak well.Take that, Holland!

english and german(because of school)

English + French + German, but I'm not probably European.

English is my main language.
I also speak pig-Latin fluently.

Other than that, I speak very basic Spanish.

Languages I've learned minimally are Greek, Latin, and Japanese.

English (birth language) +German (school) + Afrikaans (cultural but I only know a few words)

Two. English and Persian Farsi. As stated earlier by another, out of military necessity.

The poll specified 'conversational level' so I selected only one. However, I do know a smattering of other languages. I could survive (order at a restaraunt, count out money, find the hotel and bathroom) in Spanish, French, and Japanese.

1, though I'm slowly learning French.

I voted two. English is my native language and I've taken a few years of German. The instruction was crap and I've forgotten most of what I once knew, so I'd only give myself half a language, for that. Most of the mechanics come relatively naturally, but I have the vocabulary of a 5 year old. The other .5 comes from Old English, which is rather like Latin in that A) it is dead as a doornail and B) no one really "speaks" it (that is, composes in it), even within the discipline - grasp of the language is judged by ability to read, comprehend, and translate.

So 1 for English, .5 for enough German that I'd be damn near fluent after half a year there, but currently forget words like "year" for hours at a time, and .5 for having translated half of Beowulf and several thousand collective lines of assorted Anglo-Saxon poetry and prose, but never having a reason to speak it again, as I likely won't be tested on my pronunciation by a professor ever again (unless a kindly Dakkaite would like to put me through grad school). That makes 2. 2.5 if you're willing to count Middle English as well, but it runs the gamut from almost-modern (barely worse than Elizabethan or "that Shakespeare crap") to nigh unreadable.

English and a decent amount of Polish. I grew up in a house with polish grand parents. Don't ask me to write it though. I also had German all through High School and speak enough of medical spanish to get me by since I work in anemergency department in New Jersey that is located with lots of farms that have a good migrant worker population.

Three - I'm probably a European
Four - I'm very likely a European

I LOL'd. Come on, some people doesn't know even their own language, European or not.

English quite eloquently and I could find my way around a Latin American country with my Spanish. I want to learn German due to ancestry, hence my screen name("BloodIronRule").

English is my native language, and school has managed to teach me a bit of German

dutch ( from belguim so...)
englisch
french
and i can handle myself in german...

Bosnian, Swedish, English, and I understand Spanish but cant speak it very well.

Oh yeah, and I speak crappy German too. (Thanks for that, Inglorious Basterds Movie)

EDIT: Can understand Norwegian and Danish too, ofcourse.

EDIT 2: And I can speak Serbian and Croatian without problems too.

So 5 fluid and 4 ''a little''.

Yeah, I'm European

Every last person on this board can speak nerd, so that's +1 to everyone's spoken language count!

FYI AFAIK thats what the TO and TFG told me at the GW that hosted that TAC APOC GT last week.

Once upon a time, three, but 15+ years of not using German and 30+ years of not using French pretty much lowered me to one these days.

I speak English(birth), Irish(school and the place I live), German(enough to speak), Frence(school aswell) and beginning to learn Spanish(holiday)

English, French, German, Dutch and Afrikaans

Bulgarian (home language) + English (duh)

Also working on Spanish and Russian but still voted 2.

Yeah, I'm perfectly fluent in english and fairly fluent in spanish, so I put down two. If you count languages that I have any level of fluency whatsoever, the two jumps to five (ancient greek FTW).

Kudos to you army guys with the farsi. I've been told that's one of those languages where few learn it by choice for a reason...

I speak english, and pirate. Pirate is a language, right?

I speak American. The language of the free.

Two, because of movies and hip hop music.

English (native)

Japanese (school and former residency)

English and some Spanish. Thanks Houston!

Well, I'm American...so I speak English and Arabic. I know some amount of Spanish, of course, and I used to be real good at Latin in high school. Lingua latina non mortua est!

English, German, Perl, C, Pascal, x86 ASM,

Yes, I'm a software developer.

English and Spanish (thanks to School).

English First.

Japanese to a very good conversational level. (Especially if you gave me a month to get back up to full speed).

I was pretty good at German at School and Uni, but never used it very often. Strangely though, I used to be able to semi-converse in Dutch. My flatmates were Dutch, and it was similar enough to English and German that I could understand them in Dutch, and talk to them in English, so we would have one conversation in two different languages. I also used to read a lot of European football match reports on the web in Dutch before European games started getting decent coverage in English. That was years and years ago though.

Swedish and English, but I've often gotten myself through conversations in German, as German, Swedish and English are all Germanic languages which lie close to one another.

My german grammar is about non-excistant though, thanks to my German-teacher at school whom seemingly couldn't speak German. (When we had a German guest for a week, they had to speak to one another in English, and the poor girl looked ashamed whenever our teacher tried to learn us some word which of course was pronounced completely wrong.)

I can also say five words in Polish, but that won't take me anywhere. =P

English and German. I spent about 5 1/2 months in Germany this past semester

English, obviously.
Chinese, it's okay, but I sound so white when I speak it. Because of that, I limit my conversations to one or two word answers, anymore and it takes me a while to find the right word. I nearly killed my grandpa because he was laughing so hard at me. But personally, I think I'm getting better.

Oh and French from school, 'cause y'know being Canadian and all, it's all about the french eh.

I'm Dutch though I can only speak two languages.. LOL English and Dutch, but I can speak a little bit German

I speak Belgian, French, English and German.

i speak 2. Woman and English. And if you wanna count Aussie and Russian. Make that 4.

Im half norwiegen and german so decided to embrace my ancestory and learn both and am now fluent(ish) in both yay

English naturally and german to a pretty decent standard. I've been known to understand some swedish and dutch but only because of the similarities between germanic languages.
I've also been able to understand some spanish just from travels. God help me when I try to speak any though..

Riffzor wrote:Swedish and English, but I've often gotten myself through conversations in German, as German, Swedish and English are all Germanic languages

English isn't very Germanic any more it is mostly latin...

English, I can also speak italian O.K. but only if push comes to shove so I didn't count that so really only 1.

I can say "i cant speak this language'" 3 different languages, does that count?
Ever so slowly trying to pick up Gaelic, but mostly just English.

English (native), French, German, and Japanese.

My German is rusty and needs a bit of work to make it properly conversational.

English can actually be seen as the illegitimate child of latin/french languages and german. It's got a lot of grammar and vocab similarities, english grammar structure actually has more ties to german. But a lot of vocabular comes from the latin/french languages

I speak english just fine. Writing it on the other hand....yeah, not so much. I do want to learn German and Japanese though.

Not speaking german yourself, seems an odd comment to add in. Grammatically the two are actually pretty similar.

Two.
English (native) and Dutch.
(Used to speak Hungarian as well, but learned Dutch from dad who - though born in Budapest, was raised in the Netherlands immediately post-WW2.)

Enough Dutch to eavesdrop on 'private' conversations between KLM 'crew'.

English and American Sign Language. Thanks to working for a predominately deaf company after college.

4 - English (native), French (good), German (terrible), and Mandarin Chinese (good spoken, terrible written). I can count and order a beer in Spanish and Italian, but I don't think it counts as "conversational" level until you can understand what people are saying back to you!

English + Russian + Sami( Norwegian native languange) + German

English and French. Growing up in Ontario there's lots of french, and being near the Quebec border meant lots of hot Quebecois girls to hit on when we went over to take advantage of the drinking age being 18...

But I've forgotton alot, and I'm sure if I had to talk to a french person they would cringe in agony as I massacred the language.

Spanish, English, Japanese and French. Also according to my wife I speak a very fluent geekish.

M.

English, Spanish, French, Russian, Mandarin, Japanese and Swahili (does lord of the rings elfish count?)

I'm from the Ozarks so I don't know if I technically speak English.

I'm from Belgium.

I can speak Dutch, English, French. I also speak German because, well, my mother is German

A quick sidenote though, it would surprise me if the Dutch speak more languages then the Belgians. They don't really have the same problem as the belgians. In Belgium there are 3 language zones. A French, Dutch and German zone. Learning at least French is obligated for the Flemish.

Anyway, i had to learn all 4 languages as described above in school. sorry for the rambling.

Polish, English, German, Spanish and some Arabic, though could only talk about some food, the weather and likes/ dislikes in the last one.

Klingon and english

Native English speaker, know some Spanish, though I am learning some more, and am learning German too.

Finnish and English (and some Swedish and German)

English, French and German pretty much all reasonably well tough i have a bad habit of mixing them up like thinking im saying something in english then it comes out in french heh XD

english and german. some french. i can talk about girls and cooking utensils in hebrew. i understand catalan when i'm drunk. my japanese is getting better - hopefully when i go there next year i won't suck.

I speak English naturally, and have learned enough German and Finnish to politely convey that I don't speak German or Finnish.

Does Pig Latin count?

...oh and some Arabic, which includes many Hebrew-directed insults in Hebrew.

French, German, Russian.

I am from Texas.

I can speak 3 in conversation , 5 if i can reply in english ( i do understand what they are saying but sometimes i cant think fast enough to respond in the same language back
so you get mix of 2 or 3 different language in my replies rofl )

English and Russian FTW

English, Pashtu, and a smattering of Dari (military) Took French in HS and college so could probably get by in a restaurant.

I find it unfortuate that we in the US have not promoted the study of languages in the past although Spanish is becoming a neccesity recently with the influx of Spanish speaking people coming from Latin and South America.

bdw ist belgiums go speak atliest 3. not the dutch.

Latvian - Native
English - Cartoons xD
Russian - School

A-Lone wrote:Latvian - Native

I almost went to Latvia in high school for an exchange program.

I speak English, can understand Russian and Spanish, an can speak some Japanese and Korean

English as my Primary language, with French, Spanish and Italian as my Secondary languages, but not as fluently as when I was at school so very basic conversational, really I'd just about manage if I was dropped in a country that spoke in any of my Secondary languages at the moment, but given a couple of days and I'd be able to recall more, but like anything if you don't use it everyday you're not going to be much use for a while.

Obviously I speak English fluently, and I can speak Arabic conversationally, though it really depends on who I'm talking to. I can manage with Levantine, Iraqi, or Gulf, but God help me if it's an Egyptian or other North African.

I've also got a smattering of German and Spanish, but I'm far from conversational.

Jusk won, I can bearly speck this won az it iz.

I can read French really well, but greatly struggle with speaking it, put a book in front of me and I'm fine, start talking in french and I can't understand most of whats said.

I speak English.

Je peux parlé en francais.

Und Ich spreche die Deutsch


that's in descending order of how good I am at them

Finnish + English + German. Could not add Swedish eventough I can read it but not speak..

dammmnnn juu datshmen!

English+Icelandic (Which is basically ancient Norwiegan but tell that to an Icelander and he will uppercut you out of Nationilistic pride)

First language actually, english was my second.

I learned French for over ten years as mandatory study. I got an 'U' ungraded fail at my O level exams (now GCSE), that normally means a mark of under 5%. I should have been allowed to drop foreign language class as I have never been wired for it at all.

English, French and German.

3. English, Danish and Icelandic (although the last one is pretty much only used when I'm in Iceland).

Well not only can you see the little icelandic flag on my username but I can also give you a copy paste of icelandic writing i wrote. And there are more than a few thousand, lets start with the 350k people that live here plus the people that live in Canada and more.

Just English.

Norwegian, English and I'm learning simple phrases of German. Due to my previous and current overuse of international websites, I'm actually starting to THINK in English...

YoMomma wrote:Norwegian, English and I'm learning simple phrases of German. Due to my previous and current overuse of international websites, I'm actually starting to THINK in English...

I remember when that started happening, in time you won't even notice

Engrish.

Spanish of course, English fluently thanks the school and videogames (i practice it as much as i can, but some people say that i have a weird accent) and a bit of german, but that one nearly forgot for disuse... really strage thinking that i live in Mallorca...

Swedish, Norweigan, Finnish, English

i speak English, Spanish, and enough Italian to hold on my own in a discussion...why is it that Europeans are "likelier" then americans to speak many languages? depends on where the speaker grew up as i see it.

Gaelic & English
French & German
Spanish & Portugueses( yes they are different )
Lettish (Latvian ) and Ukrainian ( job related)

I also speak "street" and "criminal" as well as legaleese.

I do a good "drunk" and some other lifestyle versions of communication..

American English and american sign language

Ha! Didn't see that one comming did ya!?! Your not the only one with multiple language regions!

French, English, Spanish, and a little Polish

I can speak English very well (Duh) but know enough french and Islamic (word-of-mouth that is) to get around to info gathering

French and English, I don't really know how I learned it but I was fluent before people my age knew their irregular verbs.
I plan on learning some other thongs pretty soon, Italian is on the list as my grandmother is Italian.

English, rather good at latin, and I want to try greek.

Swedish, Norwegian, English, Spanish

German as mother language, english as primary foreign language and french just for mouth and hand talking...

I put two - but really it's more like one and a half. I can read/translate spanish decent enough for a conversation thanks to 4 years in HS, but in my experience native speakers speak waaay to fast for me take anything in.

Maybe if the spanish person was slowed and spoke slowly though.

I put two... Swedish and English, but I also "know" Danish and Norweigan, at least some words. And I also have a very basic knowledge of Swedish signlanguage.

I speak english, I can understand and reciprocate the grunting of American, and I can read write latin, so I put that at two. I don't think it counts but languages that I can work in also include klingon, java, and assorted math/science/engineering terminology.

One language baby! Awesomeness.

English, French and German Hurray for growing up in Europe.

I speak Sarcasm, mostly.

English,obviously, and enough French and Spanish to locate a library,ask what time it is or order another drink.
I am also quite fluent in "Yat", a regional New Orleans dialect which to the untrained ear is almost incomprehensible.

I can speak english about averagely. Shame, it's my only language
Did German for 6 years. All I can say with it is cheese. Kasse.
I hope...

English and Swedish.

I am lucky enough to be first language English, with French Schooling and supplementary Spanish during school...

So I ended up being completely fluent in English and French and able to effectively communicate in Spanish.

Vietnamese, though my family is from the south of Viet Nam so I can only understand that.. northern Vietnamese has a different word for about everything... T-T... like dessert and tea in the south is tea and dessert in the north...

And English that I learned in school.

And being from Southern California, I know some Spanish, though it mostly consists of phrases that will get my a** kicked.

English, French, German, makes people look at me and my friend weird when we speak tactics in german otherwise i have no life.

only 2. Dutch and english

English and Cantonese are my mains.

Learned:
French
Spanish
Mandarin

All given back to my teachers through years of unuse :-(

Ik ben inderdaad Nederlands!

Dutch, English, German, French and... Does Latin count?

How 'bout pig latin? Does that count?

errrrr...by conversational does that count as badly? and can Scottish accent be counted as a language?

If others can't speak and/or understand it without practice/help then it is a language

Oh, it definitely counts then

Dutch, French, English, German, Luxembourgish.

Ik ben inderdaad Nederlands!

I can also pretend to speak Spanish and Italian enough to get around europe (although garnering "stupid american" looks in my wake ) and pass spanish class.

Have to disagree there old chap *sniff* that comment was just not cricket. No one speaks the Queens language proper like us English. Oh I say, my tea has arrived!

Imp. Monkey

burrito, fajita, taco....maybe 1.5

Three, english, french, spanish. All in order of well spoken-ness (three guesses whether it starts with best or worst).

Finnish and English
feth sweden

I can speak English; and a few words of spanish, but I realy have trouble with spanish, I nearly failed Spanish class

English, Afrikaans, Portuguese, Spanish and I get by on French

English, Tagalog (national language of the Philippine Islands), Pangasinan (dialect but totally unrelated P.I. language), Japanese (college), and French (4 years in HS).

... and I'm not even Dutch..

But I believe that- one of my colleagues from Holland when I studied abroad in Japan spoke the language to at an academic level- took all of his classes in full-on Japanese... crazy good.

I speak Englsih and Irish to conversational level, and I can understand basic french if the person is nice enough to speak slowly. I don't usually try speaking in french because of experiences of bad attitude from native speakers about it. My irish spelling is piss poor though, since I only refreshed it through immersion, not study.

Assault marine: dún do gob means shut your beak though in some areas beak might be a slang term for mouth. Béal is the more standard word.

Shrivenwhotsit: Not going to acknowledge our Icelandic friend after he provided the evidence you demanded so rudely? Poor form, I'm not impressed by your manners.

I can speak English and Japanese, very poor Japanese but enough to get by.

English and a little Spanish....

Always wanted to learn German tho

I count 3, English as my native language, german because at the school i go to a language is a necesity, and russian(!) because my mom hates the hobby with a passion and doing extra curricular activitys is he onlyway she will let me do it (sad face)

4
English is my native language
I can speak French and German due to school
Some Russian due to school as well.

English
High nerd

I can understand a smattering of low nerd and get some of the references.

English and French. I know enough Spanish to communicate with dishwashers and tell them what to do, but I don't really think that counts.

Why do you think Dutch people have so many languages? All schools have Dutch, English and French. You can add Spanish if you want in the 4th year. I don't think Latin or Greek count as languages since they aren't spoken anywhere anymore. What would the fifth language be to you? Some Nordic language? Italian?

I'm curious

Greek is spoken in Greece, oddly enough.

English, and I can UNDERSTAND German, but couldn't speak it back. Would love to learn Arabic though... just wouldn't want to be stationed in a country that speaks it!

english, malay (couple dialects there!)
And smatterings of german, french, and japanese! just enough to get me food, drinks, to the bathroom and in bed!

Two: English and American.

My school couldn't be arsed with Spanish, so we did German and French. I used to be able to speak German quite well, but after my final exam my brain dumped of what I had learned into the bin. I can remember a few words and choice sentences though.

Ironically, the only French sentence I can remember is "I hate the French"...

So 3 for speaking well:
English
Nerd
1337 (Arguably a form of Nerd, once called 'Noob')

and 4 for understanding to a fair degree or better:
English
German
Nerd
1337

3; Swedish and English being the ones I'm fluent in. My girlfriend is from Denmark (although she is also fluent in Swedish) so I've learned Danish too, although I'm not fluent in it I can at least talk about most things.

Does Jive count? Thank you mean Skreets of Harlem.

English, German, Spanish, Irish

English in a variety of accents and dialects (Maritime Canadian, Quebec Canadian, Ontario Canadian, Prairie Canadian, West Coast Canadian, English Cockney, English Geordie, Scottish, Irish, Boston American, New York American... ah fek it you get the idea.)

French - Thanks Quebec

Passable conversational Spanish - Thanks Dad/Papito.

ok, these languages i can speak to a conversational level:

- Dutch
-French
-English
-flemish (Dialect)

Languages in witch i can ask something, but can't do a full blown conversation:

-German
-Spanish

Two unless you count "nerd", Swedish and English. Also speak "some" german...enough to tell them I don't speak much german...not much of a conversation though.

Heh, English -and its subtypes if you include my being Scottish, or putting on a daft English accent-, French -oh how I loath myself-, (bad) Russian - via boredom-, and Scots Gaelic (but don't tell my mates that, they like thinking their smart when they noise my up by speaking it). =P

Conversationally... barely one

Say something about your Mother to make you kick my rear: most of them

Know what language you are speaking / writing : maybe

Does Latin count?

Another german as first language, english second language. Plus latin, but that doesnt really count (since I only barely scraped by, and its not really a language to speak in).

English as a first language and steadily working on hablando español. Hoping to pick up Japanese here soon to for when I end up visiting there.

I speak fluent English, a tiny bit of South Welsh, a little Italian and a tiny bit of French

i speak both danish and english very well, thanks to living in denmark, games and great teachers

First language, is Dutch, since I am from Holland.
Second I can speak Englisch
And third I can understands/have a common conversation German.

And very little French, this is my third year French at school, but I can't really speak it... (And I don't really want to.)

I'm half dutch and still only 1.

Polish, English, Spanish, Russian (I don't read cyrylic though) I can also understand pretty much everything in Belarusian and Ukrainian, as most of people from Poland also have passive understanding of Slovak and Czech. Used to speak a bit of German but don't remember much of it now.

Can do few basic sentences and few most important words in Greek, Hebrew, Italian, French, Dutch, Lithuanian.
I also know insults in probably like 16 or 17 languages (you never know when you might need it ha ha )

I speak three up to a level where I can talk to everybody about everything. Those three being Dutch, English and Spanish.
I'm Dutch and have thought myself English(never needed school for that) and lived in Spain.
At school they tried to teach me German, French and Latin. I'd say I can still easily listen to French, I can read the Latin, but I fail terribly with German.

I could still hold a VERY basic conversation in 5 different languages, 6 if you count the Spanish dialect I was thought.

i dont know how to speak english, only eng, on some days maybe engli

Speak English, Nerd and write Internet (which can't really be enunciated). Know decent Deutsch (enough to enjoy a Krimi here and there). Know smatterings and occasionally a surprising amount of other languages, such as French, Italian, (well, most of the Romance languages, but that's mostly through word roots- don't ask me how to say 'you' to save your life), Japanese from too much subtitled Anime, and an amusingly large number of Swahili words, from of all things Choir.

Probably the one language I really want to learn (aside from wanting to speak Deutsch fluently) is Russian, and it's the one language I can't even understand the alphabet for.

as a publicly educated American I speak english and whenever i have to converse with anyone who doesn't speak english i just speak english very loud and slow at them until they understand or become disinterested....I would actually love to learn how to speak german though.

I speak dozens of languages at controversial level.

(I seem to be on a giddy mood lately. Excuse moi.)

Im an expat living in Hong Kong and going to school in canada, Where my mum and dad grew up. I speak english and Cantonese (a chinese dialect), so I can get around the city easily, although my first language is english.

English, French, German, Dutch (and if it counts, I speak Flemish, the Belgian Dutch and Walloneese, or something like that, the Belgian French) Holland FTW!!!!

I speak English natively, and I'm also fluent in Russian. Lived there for a couple years.

Swedish, danish, english and spanish. I can understand french, but it is a wile (8 years) since I spoke it the last time

Well, how about that! I actually AM Dutch

I come from a mexican family, and I've taken up to level 3 spanish classes at school, and I still can't have a full on conversation in spanish.

I speak english perfectly though, but I was born in the US, and so were my parents so I mean thats not very hard is it?

English and Spanish as I live in Texas. 2 because one of them isn't speaking...sign language.

Dutch, english, spanish and german on conversation level..

Op naar een leenmeissie!

YOURE MY HERO!

English and Russian, thanks ancestry, no thanks school, the French teachers couldn't even control the classes much more educate them in a foreign language

Ork, Canadian-french, English, Czech, Italian, German.

I'm a Welsh-speaking Welshman who did a little Spanish in Seconday School so:-

1st Language: Welsh
2nd Language: English
3rd Language: Rubbish Spanish

As an anime fan, I could include

4th Language: A few words/phrases of Japanese.

But aye, I put "2" down as my answer.

i speak, surprise!, German, as i live in germany, and english. In school i totally failed at english and i hated it, but when i started reading books and wathching movies in englih, as well as making many english-speaking friends, my skills improved. I actually like it a little more than german, and i playall 40k battles in englih, with my bro

Klingon for the WIN!!!

German (native), English (fluent), French (small talk works) and a little Swedish (Hello. My name is xy. I want to buy some milk).

Not entirely fully conversational (limited conversational, enough that I can talk about a few items):

Spanish and German

Fluent: American English

So one or three depending on your take.

I can speak English, I took 3 years of German is school but the teacher was always high on pain killers due to a car wreck so I didn't learn to much. I also took Japanese in school but since I didnt use it I lost it. I took a semester of Italian in college but I wasnt ready to try and learn a 3rd language at the time.

So I can speak English at a conversational level but everything else I can read and listen to but not really speak.

Mandarin Chinese; English; Cantonese; Filipino

Swedish, english and german. I'm 100% Viking spawn (aka swedish)

French and English

I speak English, Hebrew, Egyptian, Greek, French, and Spanish. It helps that I'm a linguist.

English, a bit of French and learning Klingon.

Barely one? How is that even possible...

Anyway, I speak English and French.

English and Sarcasm (I am very fluent )

I speak English but know snippets of a few others, enough to not get beaten to death and navigate an average city but not enough to discuss complex socio-political issues

Dutch, Frensh, English, German, spanish, italian and greek, ...

Yes, i am Dutch....

English learning german learn a bit of french in primary school.

Keep up with the Afrikaans boet. It makes learning German easy (experience) and it really helps for getting around europe (most people speak either Dutch or Flemish, makes life so easy, plus, it doesn't make the French hate you any more than they already do, since you won't be speaking english) Afrikaans is very similar.

In my case, Yeah, Dutch, German, Flemish, Afrikaans and English (first language).

Being an immigrant and doing student exchanges are responsible.

French (native), English (school), Spanish (school), Japanese (lived in Japan for only 5 years, so I'm not really good at it)
so yes, I'm european ! haha.

But as a Dark Eldar player, murder is the language I speak the best.

four! and why yes, i am European.

Czech and English. Slovakian as well, if that counts (it feels like cheating though, since most Slovaks understand Czech).

I was learning German few years back, but only to little effect. I'm more interested in Spanish now.

English and German... FOR MY FUHERLAND!

Right out of High School it would have been English and Spanish, but since I've never used Spanish except for school it reverted back to just one until I moved here to Japan. Back to two now by necessity. (英語と日本語もちろん)

I speak Finnish as my mother tongue, English because I was taught by American Catholic nuns in school ( ) and Swedish since for some ridiculous reason it is the second official language of Finland.

So I chose three languages, but I also know basic Dutch cause I live in the Netherlands, basic German since we have to choose a "second" (yea, educational systems dont do math) language and also very basic Russian because of the missus.

English, German, Dutch, learning french. ( Go dutchies!)

Finnish and english. Those are the two only languages I will ever need. In school they tryed to taught me swedish, but its just too damn hard and pointless to learn IMHO. Maybe someday I will try to learn some german because I am planning on going on a trip there

Enlgish as native language, spanish thanks to Latina wife.
I didnt add Japanese as 20 years of not using it has negated all that I learned in martial arts as a child.

in the process of learning german rosetta stone ftw.

English, Spanish, German, French and sarcasm.

Thank you, high school, for the first four.

Well due to my ancestry I know Urdu, English, Arabic.

Schoolwise I originally learned Spanish, but then German, French and Italian all became a breeze so I can practically speak to anyone in any Latin-based language even if its not one I have learned due to the similarities between them. In reality I consider all Latin-based languages to be more like dialects of Latin, rather than seperate languages due to their very close similarities.

Ich frage mich, wie viele Leute hier das verstehen....

lols I wonder how many of you people understand this

Táim in ann caint as Gaeilge, as Bearla agus as Fraincis, ach níl mo Fraincis ro-mhaith.

I'm Irish.

English, German and a bit of french

I speak English like a pro and a tiny amount of german because of school. I can also roughly translate 'chav' language which differs enough from actual english it should be it's own language ennit blud!

nom

English, German, and because of me living with my friend for a few years back when my dad got transferred for some time and decided to not take me from my friends, Korean.

Looks like im on the low side of being dutch.
