How many languages besides English can we as a whole speak? I'm fluent in Dutch and not bad with Spanish. I can cuss in Mandarin, but I don't count that.

I can speak about half the Portuguesse lanuguage. My hubbin who comes on with me sometimes is fluent. I also took 4 years spanish although I wouldnt consider myself fluent

I can also get by and get my basic needs met in Spanish, Japanese and Farsi.

I am quite proficient in German. Though my standards for fluency are quite high. I.e., my German competency will never reach the level of competency I have in English, therefore, I am not fluent. In my mind, at least.

I do pretty well conversationally with Italian.

Passable with Spanish and French. I can read better than I can speak, but I can get by. Especially if there is wine involved.

And none of this is thanks to LDS, Inc. :)

I can read Latin and know some classical Greek. I have a smattering of French and Italian, but I am not even close to fluency. I do know enough to be able to read simple stuff with the help of a dictionary and can handle signs and menus when in the countries.I had German in high school, but other than Stille Nacht and Komme Gibt Mir Deine Hand {if I spelled these right] I don't remember much.

Lets see, first I have to find my magic rock...Oh, okay found it...now lets see, I shall look into my hat with said rock...

I speak German (7 years of schooling) and Mongolian (mission).

i talk shit

I can speak a little Spanish. I used to be much more fluent but I'm rusty from lack of use.

Canuck, aye.

I can read French and get around reasonably well in that language when I'm traveling. I have a small amount of Spanish that I use to communicate with my students. I studied both languages in school and could bring either up to speed if needed.

I'd like to learn Italian and a small amount of Latin (enough to get the gist of Roman inscriptions.)

English, Navajo and Italian. I also speak a smattering of German, Spanish and Welsh. I can read a little Greek and Hebrew too.

I speak Spanish and English (raised bilingual), do ok in Portuguese, minored in modern Hebrew, read French, Catalán and Italian reasonably well, worked quite a bit with Vulgar Latin, a little Nahuatl, and studied the medieval/early modern versions of a slew of obscure Latin-based languages from what is now Spain (Asturiano, Leonés, Navarro, Gallego-Portugués, Mozárabe, Extremeño, etc.).
