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

Haaha You sir do speak the truth.

None! No, really, none. I have a stammer!

English, Passable french and some Irish (Gaelic*)

*although its actually Gaelige in Irish/as Gaelige

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!

Nederlanders zijn sukkels!!

<_<

...

Ow....

Lol, that's no language!
Maybe an accent or dialect, no language though...

Is fauth me gaeilge agus dun da gob. thats irish

LOL at dutch being better english speakers than the english... *ducks*

Pacific NW English, (it basically dosen't have an any distinguishing features exept there is no differnce between "ant" and "Aunt") used to speak german, a LOT rusty now, I can almost speak japaneese, but writing it makes my head hurt (stupid Kanji, why cant you use one of the other three alphabets you have?!) 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!
