Poll: How many languages can you speak?

[Nouw]

2.

English and Korean. Tried to learn Chinese, failed, learning German at School and after that Spanish baby!

 

[IkeGreil29]

I am fluent in 2, Spanish (native tongue) and English (1st language). I am currently learning (sort of) German, but I can't communicate effectively.

 

[NerkySera]

I'm Irish but we don't learn it til we start school, then in secondary I did French and starting to learn Japanese, not fluent in any really though

 

[M1k3y]

1, but I know a little bit of Spanish and French too =] I'm also taking Norwegian this fall so that should be interesting.

 

[Kris015]

Danish, English, German, Norwegian and i'm learning Latin.

Latin's a dead language, or so i'm told. Still, it IS the root of most languages and I want to learn it. Problem is, you need to find someone who speaks Latin first.

I'm learning it in school, we actually have to.

Oh really? Not just north for Mandarin, south for Cantonese? What are the others called? Are they in the thousands? O_O

LOL. I don't think it's THAT epic. A few tens, maybe.
Here, this should clear things up.

I think most of them are dead languages already though. o.o

 

[russkiimperial]

Russian, which is my native language. English, which was quite easy to learn in my opinion. Also German, which is really not that hard if you already understand Old English well enough.

 

[Lord Monocle Von Banworthy]

English y Español と日本語。

 

[thylasos]

3, properly. French and Russian, besides English.

Also, a five years of Latin, two of German, and one year each of Spanish, Italian, Czech, and Japanese.

 

[Undead Dragon King]

Fluent in English, competent in Italian and Latin. Definitely thinking about German.

I can speak English and I'm learning Japanese. I took two years of Spanish and all I can say is "Yo no hablo espanol." Am I the only one who thinks Japanese is so much easier than Spanish/other romance languages.

Depends entirely what pace you're doing it at. Personally, spanish I find very simple. Sentence structure is similar, you have a groundwell of common word-roots what with English's adoption of Latin and French words after the Norman invasion, and it's spelt (almost) entirely phoenetically.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

1 and a tenth. I speak English and I can maybe coble together a sentence or two in French on a good day.

I could never get the handle of masculine and feminine parts, I can't tell the gender of an inanimate object. Or when it has an actual gender and it doesn't matter such as el gato for a female cat. Also it there are less conjugations in Japanese and a whole lot less irregular verbs.
