So, people who speak many languages are called polyglots.

People who speak two languages are called bilingual.

People who speak one language are called Americans.

How many and which languages do you speak?


Me, I'm an American.

I think you'll find it was the English who invented linguistic imperialism.

So now that's like knowing a dead language like ancient Greek or Latin.

I'm fluent in over 6,000,000 forms of communication; the most exciting being Rigelian direct pheromone injection sequences.

smells like...love.

dutch is my native language, my english and french is quite fluent... i understand a lot of spanish and german and i know basic latin. i can also figure out quite a lot of words in italian and scandinavian languages.

we have an exchange teacher from america right now, and she was amazed by the fact that everyone in class speaks at least two languages fluently. it's typically flemish, we know no one else in the world speaks our language so we'd be screwed if we didn't learn any other one.

Me speaketh english, German and Czech.

Trust me, if I "wrote" phonetically (ie how I actually speak), you'd all think that I had a permanent stroke. Just ask poor old Demonrail, Sarram or anyone else here who's spoken to me IRL...

I speak english. ba baow.

In the past I have started learning languages so many times(french, italian, spanish, chinese-mandarin, japanese, and auslan/sign) and.. stopped. One day I'll go throw myself into each country for six months and force myself to stay with it and learn. I'd be happy with fluent enlgish, french, spanish, then having capable of decent communication in chinese-mandarin, and Auslan.

I studied German at school for four years, so I can speak some of that - not fluently, but probably enough to get by in Deutschland.
I really want to learn Japanese. I've started by learning a few basic words and phrases and learning about the language from the internet. But trying to properly learn it this year probably wouldn't be a good idea, since it's my HSC year.

I just stopped listening after that time in 1992 when you managed to mention Whitehouse four times in a single sentence.
