How many languages can you speak/understand?

[Jeff THE Best]

I am curious about the people here... About what you ask? How many languages can you speak / understand and how did you learn it? Oh, and while your here, why don't you write your first spoken language.

Here is mine...

I can talk in French and English. My first language is French. I learned English a bit at school, and a lot while playing Animal Crossing on the GameCube. And then a lot more at school. I thought that Animal Crossing could only be played in English, so I had to ask my parents a lot... What the characters were saying, and writing letters, I would ask what is this word in English and so on... As you probably know, if you go to a French school, they teach a bit of English, but it's a lot easier than at a real English school, but I still learned some there. After grade 8, I decided to do high school at an English school. (I didn't want to go to a big school where all the people that were bullying me were going to be there...) I learned more there and even passed my ELPA the first year!

I have a friend who speaks English, Arabic, German, Spanish and Portuguese. I don't understand how one can speak that many languages >_<

Only English. xc I want to learn French soooo bad though...

 

[DarkDesertFox]

Just English. I took a couple classes of Spanish, but I never really had enough motivation to try and learn it any further.

There was the choice of taking Spanish this semester, but it was either that or chemistry... For what I'm going for, I need chemistry, so guess what I took. I find that words in Spanish resemble French words in a way, but they have weird letters in them, lol.
