How many languages can you speak?

English and Chinese. I tried German in high school but all I remember now is a few sentence which I cannot even write down.

 

English, and I can get by with my Spanish, but I am not fluent by any stretch. I can understand French most of the time, but I speak it horribly.

 

My mom said I should take Latin. I did. Turns out, no one really speaks Latin much anymore.

 

I speak English and Chinese (Cantonese and broken Mandarin).

I also learned Russian and French academically. Since it is still a little bit difficult for me to carry a conversation in either, I'd count those as 1/2's. So, 1+1+1/2+1/2 = 3.

 

i can "speak" thai.

but i type best in english.

 

English and Mandarin... and I'm a whitey.

 

2: English & Mandarin

 

Don't worry...most Americans can't speak fluent English...

 

English and I speak a little Spanish.

 

No Malay or Tamil? I would consider Singlish a separate language too.

I can speak read and write English. Can speak Mandarin read to a lesser degree and write to a even lesser degree than that. Growing up in Texas I picked up a lot of Spanish and can read it well enough to get a gist of something that is written and understand enough to follow along with Telanovellas, when I'm not looking at the actresses chests. In Singapore I picked up some Malay but have forgotten most of it.

 

English of course, I understand and read/write Tamil, and I can speak some Hindi (although it has deteriorated a lot) along with reading/writing it.

 

For a second, I thought you were Swoly.

As for the languages, I can speak English, Hindi, Oriya, and Tamil fluently and I know enough of Bengali, Malayalam, Punjabi and Urdu to get by effectively. I regret not having paid attention in spanish and french classes in high school.

 

Farking schnirt! How many languages does India have?

Considering the population explosion there, I guess the only phrase that is universally understood in India is "Wanna f*ck?"

 

El oh el! I am there's plenty more where those came from . It helps when your family is from all over the place and speaks all sorts of different languages.

 

Nah, though I have a sufficient vocabulary of Malay words for use in everyday conversation.. mostly slang and swear words

And Singlish is more of an English-based creole really. If we're including those, then I speak Hokkien (a dialect of Mandarin) pretty well too

 

I speak Español e Inglés y some words of Italian

 

I'm sorry but who is 'Swoly'?

 

where and why did u learn mandarin? is it because u like taiji?

 

If words do not exist in the dictionary, it is because Deke hasn't added them yet.

 

and is Grandmaster Cheng Jin Cai your teacher?
