Which languages do you speak?

[SolidJuho]

I speak finnish as native (pretty lonely here) english, and studied 3 years of swedish, but i dont like speaking it.

[Tex_NL]

Well versed in Dutch, English and German. (In order of fluency)

And just enough French and Spanish to explain I do not speak French or Spanish.

[StupidAndy]

English, a bit of French, gibberish (ab bognam) and tuba music

I can read and play tuba! it counts as a language! Playing counts as speaking!

I also do accents!

Korean as native, English, a little bit of japanese. Surprised to see you guys can speak so many languages, which makes me somewhat embarrassing.

Don't be embarrassed, this thread is incredibly biased. Almost everybody in this thread speaks at least two or more languages. That's why they posted in this tread after all. But for those who only speak one language there is very little to no reason to post here. Besides that not every culture is equal. For a lot of (older) people in certain countries it is still very normal to not speak a second language. For others it very normal to start teaching children a second or third language at an early age.

For me, being Dutch, is was very normal to learn English as a child and French and German as a teenager. (I dropped French as it just didn't agree with me.) And since I live in a rural area with a lot of tourism (about a third of them is German) it's pretty much vital.

Thanks for your kind reply, Tex_NL.

I know that not much people can speak multiple languages fluently, and this reply to this thread is pretty biased. (Of course, I don't mean to offend the users who speak various languages)

I was rather whinning about myself, spent so much time drinking and playing video games. Except for KSP, which taught me the language of mathematics and physics, a little bit.

Anyway, thanks again for your encouraging response. Hoping you have a nice weekend.

Italian and its Roman dialect, English, Spanish and a little bit of French.

English, and some German and Spanish.

I traveled for a while in Nepal (a long time ago) with a Dutch couple (trekking, and we all walked the same speed, so we were together day after day) and made the mistake of playing Scrabble with them  . They were quite good playing in English (we all won and lost games), then my buddy and I suggested playing the same board with English and Dutch (they were limited to Dutch words, we were limited to English). They wiped the floor with us, lol. Loads of letter combinations simply not possible in English, lol.

[adsii1970]

English, French, German, Latin (some) and (some) Yiddish/Hebrew. I want to become more proficient in the four non-native languages.

[Overfloater]

Russian & Hebrew, and i can swear a little in Arabic.

I know English, but nobody to speak it with.

Primarily American English, but I know a bit of Spanish (enough to read anything, have basic conversations, and count to 100)

can count to 3 in Japanese 

can say a very mean phrase in German ( has to do with a certain finger) as well as "no"

and call people pigs in Arabic.

[Joseph Kerman]

Well, I speak American English, some British English, Southern Tagalog, a small portion of Mandarin Chinese, an even less portion of Hokkien Chinese, one to twenty-five in Spanish, and a little bit of everything else.

[ARS]

I can speak English (my main language), Japanese (quite well), Indonesian (native language), and a bit of Russian, but I prefer speak in english

Hmm. I'd like to disagree with you there. Have you seen the crap that english is?

In fairness, I've only really known how to speak/read dutch. Spelling may be harder
