    Okay, time for RAJ to show off LOL...

    I speak and write English fluently (no shit, LOL), speak and write (Canadian) French however not completely fluently BUT I can translate it much better than speaking or writing it as long as it is written down or spoken very slowly, and finally I speak Italian. I used to speak Italian with almost fluency, however living in a French as a Second Language speaking country I have lost almost all of it. But it sure was a sight to see- me, a brown kid beating Italian children for Italian Language Awards (plural) in school. It was beautiful. LOL!

    I only speak English and a very small amount of Spanish. I really want to learn Gaelic though because I'm Irish so I feel like I should.

    I speak Swedish (being born and raised in Sweden has that effect on you) and English (it's a must!). But the list of languages I wanna learn... It's a few meters long :grin:

    I speak English and Spanish fluently. I'm taking Chinese at Uni, and I'm teaching myself bits of Japanese, Korean, Russian, Arabic, French, and Italian. I also studied Latin at one point in my life, but I forgot a lot of it. I'm a bit of a linguaphile, if that's a word, which my spell check is telling me it isn't... >_>

    I grew up speaking English, spanish, german, Lithuanian,Russian. ( I have a large multicultural famliy).

    But now I'm only fluent in English, Spanish and German.

    I can keep a conversation in Russian and I am taking the class at school but Lithuanian I've almost forgotten.

    I'm also currently learning Brazilian Portuguese and a friend is trying to teach me Tagalog.

    I haven't posted around here in forever, but I love languages and linguistics so I just had to post hah

    I only speak English and some Spanish. Though I don't like speaking Spanish because I have a noticeable American accent and almost all of my family speaks perfectly. I currently want to learn German. I looooove it and I think it sounds pleasant even if most people disagree. There is definitely something sexy about it haha. I also love French.

    My native language is English. I'm pretty much fluent in French and I'm ok at Spanish. I'm learning Latin (although that's not really a spoken language) and I understand, but don't speak Arabic. Like, if my parents were to speak to me in Arabic, I would understand what they're saying, but I would reply in English.

    The only language out of those that I'm gong to continue doing past GCSE is French. I'd love to learn Italian some day :slight_smile:

    I speak impeccable English. I know enough Spanish to get to the bathroom (or into a fight); enough French to sound fancy when I'm cooking, and a little German. I also know a smattering of Hebrew.
