    English and a little Spanish. My minor in college was Spanish but I'm very rusty since I don't use it in daily conversation.

    Well my native language is American English. The only other language I can speak fluently is British English. Which I had learn from watching a lot of British shows over the years. I can also fluently read Roman Numerals. Which is quite easy to learn how to read them. These are the following languages I can speak a little bit of.

    French
    German
    Pennsylvanian German
    Urdu
    Hindi
    Italian
    Japanese
    Chinese
    Polish
    Russian
    Ukrainian
    Hebrew
    Irish and Scottish Gaelic
    Swahili
    Icelandic
    Greek
    Latin
    Hawaiian
    Portuguese
    and Spanish


    As for Spanish I can speak and understand that language almost quite well. I know how to speak these languages from what I had read and heard on tv over the years. Hindi and Urdu are the languages I really want to speak fluently. And I am really trying to by watching Bollywood movies.

    My native language is Dutch, and I also speak English and German fluently. I learnt French for 6 years in secondary school and was once able to speak it fluently as well, but I haven't used it at all in over a year so it's kinda fading away.. I can still understand about 80% of it when it's written though, and about 50% of it when it's spoken. It's easier to translate French to Dutch than Dutch to French imo. But it's crazy how quickly linguistic knowledge fades away, you really have to keep up with it constantly in order to 'save' it. A little over a year ago I was able to read Candide by Voltaire in French without any problems (school assignment ), I still have the book so I tried it again a week ago and I found myself struggling to understand certain words at times. It's sad I'm planning to take a French course soon though, I heard that a lot of this "hidden knowledge" comes back very quickly once you start really practicing it again... I hope so

    Next to Dutch I can speak English. When I was younger I also was able to speak German (well the basics that is) but over the years I lost that because I never had it in school. Now I'm trying to learn Japanese

    I can speak german (native) and english...
    I'd like to learn french, japanese, spanish and italian but I just don't have the time and my english is far from being perfect, although I can understand 99% of everything and compared to other germans I'm quite decent at english, lol.

    I wish I had taken the chance to learn french in school a few years ago, but I didn't. That was a horrible mistake...

    I've studied spanish and german but I'd like to begin to study them again. I took only two courses of both in HS.

    Russian and English. I used to study German but I haven't had practice speaking it for several years so I can't speak it fluently anymore.

    I can speak French (mother tongue) and English. Since i am Haitian i understand Haitian Creole but cannot speak it haha. I could but my accent sucks so bad i do not even bother trying. I'd like to learn Arabic one day but i have been told i should not even bother trying as it is very difficult haha.
    May you rest in peace Karen Carpenter.
