    Afrikaans and English, and I know a few Sotho words (Can greet and say thank you, and can tell someone when they're mad (crazy) or making a noise, and can ask for two loaves of bread (at least I think so), lol)

    English, verbal fluency in Mandarin (I'm illiterate :grin:), some French, and basic German.

    I probably should practice with people - my composition tends to be pretty awful, but I don't have too much trouble with comprehension.

    Swedish, English, Japanese and German, in descending order of confidence. I also speak an imaginary language - Sindarin a.k.a. Grey-Elven or simply Elvish - which was invented by J.R.R Tolkien, the creator of the Lord of the Rings universe.

    Unfortunately, I can only speak English fluently. I know very little Spanish and very little French, so I can say some words, not really any phrases. I would love to be able to speak multiple languages though.

    English, minimal Spanish (even though pretty much my entire family is Spanish), and I'm trying to learn ASL. I know a few words (hello, good night, help, etc.) but I'm not anywhere near fluent yet.

    Bulgarian, English, Russian - all to some good degree.

    If I was a superhuman I'd like to learn also and Hebrew,Japanese, Latin.

    But don't think speaking all these 6 languages are 'doable'. I mean sure Bulgarian/Russian use the same alphabet and are similar overall, English is everywhere and it's an easy one - but the rest? You'd have 4 different alphabets and lots of words to learn.

    And yet I also have some minor fascination with French and Italian...which I think is common occurrence among many people -:slight_smile:.

    Romanian, native. Quite good English. I can partially understand French, German and Dutch when written, but I can't speak them, except for simple sentences involving my name, age and food.

    I speak fluent English.

    I can understand Spanish, writing, reading and listening, but I can't speak it.

    I can understand bits of Dutch, speak the odd word, but I think it's easier for me to learn Romance languages rather than Germanic.

    I've just started learning French, too.

    So, like, I'm fluent in English and like half-fluent in Spanish.

    I'm going to learn Italian and Czech at some point in the future, too. I would also love to learn Polish.

    I speak german (native), english, some french (learned it in school for quite a long time, but after school I haven't used it much and I have forgotten a lot) and some basics in spanish (really just basics and not really enough for a conversation tho).

    I definitely wanna improve my language skills in all the mentioned languages. But for some it's not that easy to improve them, with not that much time and no possibilities to practice speaking.

    I can speak English and Romanian fluently, although when I have a bad day I tend to mix them up- that's never a good thing. A bit of German, even less Spanish, Italian and a few words in French. I studied Latin for a couple of years, but I don't know much. I want to learn all these languages properly plus Japanese and Swedish.

    I can speak English and Vietnamese with a Hue dialect. My Vietnamese is subpar though, as English is my native language.

    Also, it's difficult to understand Viet folks who speak in a dialect that is not from Hue...
