How many languages can you speak?

Scroll to see replies

Fluent in English, Dutch and German. Trying to become fluent in Mandarin, Russian and French.

German and Dutch are quite similar, and being Dutch in blood, it wasn't hard to pick it up.

I found out I had a flare for languages, so I'm trying to learn as many as possible.

My Father is fluent in 9 languages, but being the head of Rotterdam Dock's Security Force, he has to speak most main languages. I think I get it from him.

So far, English and French!

I'm learning Spanish though, and as I'm so comfortable speaking French I find it really hard not to use French words in Spanish conversations, has anyone else had this!?!?

YES!!! totally started speaking Polish to my German teacher the other day... :colondollar:

Doesn't happen too often though :biggrin:

English- Fluent
French- Somewhat fluent. Studied it to university level- 2nd year atm. Going to spend the year in France next year so I'd kind of need to be fluent by then!!)
Spanish-less fluent, fewer years studying Spanish than French so it's my weaker language, but I can speak, read and write it pretty competently.
Ulster-Scots (some say it's an official language, some say it's more a dialect. So I'll let you decide for yourselves :h:

Arabic & English (still have some probs with English that sounds fossilized at the moment and that is not good for someone who is being novice in interpreting)

If you understand a language fluently but cannot have a proper conversation in it, is it still considered a language....
