View Full Version : How many languages can you speak ?
Hehe :) So how many languages can you speak ?
Not that im showing off or what but i can speak multiple languages including Chinese, English, Cantonese, Malay and Japanese :B
Im born and raised in Malaysia and im a Chinese. Malaysia is a multi-cultural country.
English and Malay are compulsory. And I have to learn japanese at my school. ( just an extra language )
I can't speak Japanese fluently, only for the other 4 languages.
So what about you ? :B

I doubt many English people can speak many.. languages are not taught properly in England.
Spanish, English. I studied German and French too, but never really understood them (despite being in the "A*A" set.)
Yet, friends I know who are Spanish, were fluent in English before leaving Primary school.
Western European companies put the UK to shame when it comes to languages.

English and can handle a light conversation in Japanese, along with a handful of phrases and various other things. I learnt French and German in school but they were just doss lessons really.
I got an A in Spanish but I don't remember like ANYTHING. Maybe if I got in the swing of a conversation I could get it back but I doubt it.

English. I would be able to speak german was my school taught it for year 7 and 8 compulsory, but then decided to make french compulsory which I just did not understand and did not want to learn, and I did not want to take german as an option. I know bits of french but nothing huge.

I can speak English and understand a few things in French, Spanish and Italian. The UK has always been a bit lousy with languages, but we've never really needed to use them.

English and French. I'm semi fluent in Spanish and Irish. Mainly due to having a French/Spanish mom and an Irish Dad :P
lmao none!
did french for 5 years and spanish for 2. can't remember a thing!
English and Spanish. Problem is, my Spanish slang is better than my actual Spanish as I lived in the south of Spain for six and a half years. But, I can hold a conversation easily with a Spaniard.

I can speak English, American and Australian... I shall demonstrate
My English: "I would be positively delighted if you'd do the pleasure of making me up some tea and crumpets"
My American: "Howdy partner, could you get me an extra large burger, with some extra large fries and a supersized cola, buddeh"
My Australian: "G'day mate, how 'bout you rustle up the barbie and cook up some meat and then we go out and get a pint"
I'm so pro.

I speak 2 languages, including English. I know a bit of German as I studied it at school and I help my brother with it so I still remember quite a lot.
I understand 2 other languages, however I can't actually speak them fluently because I haven't really tried to learn :P

I can speak 2 languages. English and french :)
I can only speak English fluently but I'm semi-fluent in Irish. I'd probably be able to hold some sort of conversation. I can understand German fairly well but I can barely speak it myself xD
This girl in my year can speak five languages all fluently:
English
French
Russian
Ukrainian
Polish
she's also semi-fluent in Irish.... WHERE WOULD YOU BE GOING WITH ALL THOSE?
