How many languages do you speak?
Posted on: 21.02.2012 by Tatum Ansaldo
Bet it's not as many as this guy...

I'm a language student and I feel like it was all for nothing!
Tesha Freudenstein
02.04.2012		i wasn't aware of how many on here speak german on my other community i'm about the only one.
Len Lukawski
01.04.2012		Props to all of you non-native English speakers. I saw many names throughout the thread and was surprised to learn how many of you weren't native English.
Edwina Fagel
31.03.2012		Estonian (native)
English (fluent)
Russain (basic)
Finnish (can understand)

I can allso understand most of the local dialects. They are really different of the main language.
Alltrough, the problem is that there is a big lack of the speakers of dialects as they're quite complicated
and there are no written rules.
Etta Rued
31.03.2012		Well i can speak English French and Arabic and trying to learn some more languages
Cyndi Grenz
25.03.2012		just 15 and already speak 5 languages

I expect learning a few more(Art.4 of Switzerland's law: Switzerland has 4 official languages) + Spanish, native
Verona Spradlin
25.03.2012		Just English and Spanish both fluently. Since I'm in Texas, it is very useful although I'd love to learn German or French for the hell of it.
Deann Kolber
22.03.2012		I'm a native English, fluent German and Italian speaker, have recently taken up Spanish, I hope I will reach the advanced level soon, as it is very much like Italian.
Tesha Freudenstein
20.03.2012		last german part had some flaws but major props to the man. i'm struggling with 3 languages. i only speak german (native) and english (second) fluently and both spoken in my home when i was child. in dire situations i could understand and speak a few broken parts of french but that is it
Arcelia Siebeneck
16.03.2012		English (native)
Thai (conversational)
Czech/Slovak (basic)

My girlfriend is from Hong Kong so I'm probably gonna start learning Cantonese soon... tricky language though (Thai has 5 tones which is hard enough; Cantonese has 9 tones!!)
Vivienne Cowins
14.03.2012		Swiss German (native)
German (2nd native language)
French (fluently)
Italian (average)
English (fluently)
Spanish (insults)
Loyce Mekonen
13.03.2012		Spanish (native)
English (quite fluent I believe... I even have that american'ish accent which I got from movies and what not... kinda proud of my english haha).
And a few French sentences like "I dont know how to speak French" as a way of switching to either english or spanish lol
Sumiko Dani
13.03.2012		There was some saying about speaking few languages. Something like if you know two languages you are twice as a human.
I know three: German, English and Spanish. That's all for now.
Lemuel Laverack
13.03.2012		Native English speaker, learning Spanish and a little German. It's really hard to remember much in several languages.
I really like Italian as well, I'm not sure I can handle this many.
Shaniqua Tisa
26.02.2012		Native in English

Functional in French - Double Majored in French and Int'l Relations. Studied abroad as long as possible... even to the point of being a 5th year senior.

Viviana Tarno
25.02.2012		Dutch (native)
English (fluent, but actually got an IB diploma saying "native speaker in English")
French + German (little more than only the basic stuff)
Kati Khait
26.02.2012		English (midwest): Native
Spanish: been learning for about 5 years, I'd like to call myself fluent but not sure if I am. Let's just say that if I got plopped in spain randomly I'd be able to make it by with my Spanish but it would be a challenge.
Bought a book to start learning German... but then I also bought a vci-100 which I spend most of my time on

Audrey Pinda
25.02.2012		I'm American. I only speak English, and that with a Boston accent.

Though through work, learning more and more spanish everyday. Not something I'm particular working toward (I hate learning languages, even english grammar is something I really dislike) but it's most out of necessity.
Fred Offill

English (Fluent)
Spanish (Fluent)

Toevening I'm trying to get one language to work with another one to share and match results so that the user doesn't have to manually enter anything.
I guess one could argue that I'm trying to Sync them....

22.02.2012		Wow I'm surprised the dude in that video can actually speak Afrikaans, and not too bad either. He probably did it out of interest after learning Dutch.

It is artificial by definition, but I would argue still fully qualifies as a language. I just believe that maybe the scope of how your professor qualifies a language may be narrow, but at the same time who am I to discredit him (I mean this with all seriousness).
The definition of a language is something boring professors from various universities across the world have been arguing about for decades. We had a couple of seminars on it and from now on I won't be defining anything as an official language without first seeing a peer reviewed paper haha.
