Sure I have, French. I also have a third one, English. And a fourth one, Latin. My first language? Why, that's German.

And no, that's not impressive at all, you have to understand that outside of the English speaking world, learning a third language (besides English) is pretty much mandatory. I for one know not a single German under the age of forty who doesn't at least speak three languages.

Germans would probably understand me too cause Dutch is a Germanian language.

It is, but that only means that some of the words sound alike. Trust me, it's not enough to actually understand anything.

 

[Billion Backs]

My first language is Russian. Knowledge of which is quickly disintegrating, at least in regards to more complex written stuff - Russian grammar is a ***** compared to something as easy as English or Spanish.

Second language, naturally, English.

And I could speak French and Spanish a few years ago, but that mostly deteriorated into nothing by now. Might try to re-learn French this summer =/

 

[LogicNProportion]

I was born and grew up in the US speaking English.

I was raised around Italians, and picked up some of the language.

I have taught myself German.

I am in the process of learning French.

 

[KaiRai]

My gf's mom has taught me some Arabic. Her grandad was in oil in the Gulf years back, so she taught me quite a bit. I'd like to learn several languages though.

I've tried to pronounce a few Russian words, but they are VERY hard to say for me. I can only say "Goodbye" and "Thank you."

 

[Ickorus]

Does C++ count?

Im not even very good with that language.

 

[Folio]

English is my second language (I'm Dutch)and I speak a bit of German but it's easily getting rusty. I'm trying to teach myself some Japanese.
I can read French just fine as if I know what I'm saying, but I don't... This goes for every language I see or hear. Well, except the ones I know.

I speak English and understand a little bit of Welsh. Despite being Welsh I loath the language for what its become.

what happened to it?

 

[Marter]

I have a good concept of written French. Don't ask me to understand what someone is saying when they speak though, as I'm terrible at listening to it. >_>

 

[Folio]

If you speak slowly and you meet Germans who live close to the Eastern border they might understand you. If you speak in dialect they might think you are German.

 

[Jovlo]

Here in Belgium, we have three national languages: Dutch, French and German.
I was raised in Dutch, but I also speak French and some German, and of course English.

It is very ordinary for a Belgian to speak at least 3 languages.

Phonetics aren't just used in the army, Amateur radio hobbists use them too, I learnt them at about nine when I started a course on it.

Other than that I tried French, tried German, tried Latin, trying Japanese. Doubt I'll get far.

As someone with a very authentic Russian first name and surname, I'm extremely familiar with that problem...

The more I grow up, the more I actually appreciate Russian language. With all the complicated tenses and word endings, and strange letters in the alphabet that have no sound. It's nothing short of awesome.

ъ or ь, for example.

 

[Ekonk]

Yes, it's called English.
