What languages do you use?

[Mirc]

We had a similar poll before, with a little more options actually.

For me:
Native: Romanian
First Foreign Language: English
Second Foreign Language, can understand but very hardly speak: German. I used to know it pretty good....
Third Foreign Language: French. Can understand and answer in a very bad grammar. My accent is good though.
Learned "by ear": Italian. This was so easy for me, I've never opened an Italian learning book in my life, yet I understand it perfectly, and can speak it, a little bit.

Do you have a link? I searched and couldn't find any. (I know, the options were difficult. )

It's multiple choice.

Ohh, I forgot Latin. Speaking Romanian and Italian I understand Latin 100%. I can't speak it though.

Darn it, I already submitted my vote.

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

English by birth and upbringing, it is the language I use most frequently.

Spanish from my (LDS) mission, I still use it fairly often in my job.

Small amounts of Arabic and Quechua, not enough by far to call myself fluent, but I intend to study Arabic further.

 

[The Last Conformist]

Mothertongue Swedish, fluent in English and German, bits of Spanish and Latin, passive understanding of Norwegian, and of written Danish and Dutch.

 

[GrandAdmiral]

English and Japanese.

 

[TheDervish]

No Persian?

 

[pboily]

French and English, in that order.

I can read most of the Roman-derived languages and catch 25%-50% of what is being said, like any other who speaks French, Spanish, Italian, and Romanian as a mother language, and I can pretend that I understand German and Cantonese.

that's why i said in the original post that i speak a *form* of english. it may be true of many countries that dialects vary so wildly that foreign learners have no chance of understanding local speech?

 

[Red Door]

I'm fluent in English.

I can speak Spanish.

 

[Ansar]

What languages are you fluent in?
English and Spanish.

Written, spoken, or both?
Both. I can write and talk in both English and Spanish.

Which one's your mother tongue?
Spanish. Unfortunately, I prefer English since it's what I mostly speak and hear during the day, but I still practice spanish everyday since I live with my parents.

Where did you learn the others?
English - Went to a bilingual school in my home country. Picked up the slang here.

Which ones do you use regularly?
Both. English a bit more (since I go to school).

Are there any that would you like to learn?
French and Italian.

I have my hopes up for French, but not so much for Italian.
Four languages is too much to handle for someone who isn't European/Asian!

 

[CaptainF]

English is my native, I'm currently learning spanish and could probably hold my own.

 

[Aramazd]

I am fluent in French and English, though I never speak French, so I am not as good as I used to be.

 

[colontos]

English, Russian, and Korean, in that order. I use all of them every day (with my wife, who also speaks all three).
