How many languages can You Speak?
Sort:
I can speak about 4 languages. I speak fluent mandarin and english. I'm able to hold long conversations in french, but i'm not exactly fluent. I can speak a little bit of taiwanese as well.
King_William, with all due respect, coming from Bloemfontein you can probably speak 'Plaas' (Farm) very well too!
1.English
2.Francais
3.Bahasa Indonesia
If you folks ever come to the United States, you'll find that most Americans barely speak English.
Translation for my fellow countrymen:
if u evr come to teh states you see ppl dont talk good
Spanish (native), English, Italian, and a little bit of Japanese.
Hello, interesting topic, I read in New in chess that chessplayers speak many languages, there was also about Garry Kasparov something about this.
I speak:
English, German, Slovak, Czech, Russian, French these de facto fluently, almost each theme, then Latin, Hebrew, I understand each Slavic language, especially Polish for example.
I have gift of Tongues:
Hebrew, Arabian, Italian after talking with one our chesspayer about languages and lessons, Hungarian after correspondence with one Hungarian chessplayer, some Chinesse or Japanesse or what and some many other Tongues, any Tongues I hear I get from any missionars within Carlos Annacondia. I have Hebrew and French pronaunciation when I read native...ask gifts and do not sin then you will get them....really fun to sing in Tongues.
Of course I understand Ukraine...I go to read Bible in all I mentioned....Tongues I really do not know how many I have and which one when I never heard some languages.
only english
I can speak Arabian, and enough German, Italian, and French to get around. as well as my native American English as I know there are two kinds

Passive Spanish? Do you only know phrases like 'please don't hurt me' and 'I'm sorry?'

I meant that I have trouble speaking Spanish (I tend to use Hebrew prepositions without meaning to) but I can understand a fair amount, both written and spoken.
