How many languages can you speak/understand?

Filipino is my first language, but I'm fluent in English as well since it kinda became my country's "second language" lmao but I can understand a bit of Spanish too because the Filipino language is heavily influenced by Spanish :cool:

I can read/speak Korean letters, but I only understand some of the words.. Currently trying to learn Japanese, Mandarin, and German eheh
as far as i know, Filipino is not a language....... .-.
 
my first language is vietnamese (my nationality, born in america), by the time i started day care/preschool, i pretty much stopped talking in vietnamese as i learned english. fun story: i used to demand this girl in my day care to tie my shoes in vietnamese (without knowing the language) and she understood me lol. i'm 17 now and i can translate the language, but i'm somewhat embarrassed to speak it around family members (other than my parents) as my accent while talking the language would sound very american and funky? i also know english and spanish. i'm looking forward to learning french and japanese when i'm in college!
 
I am fluent in English, Spanish (first language) and Catalan

I can also sort of understand Italian, French, and Portuguese. But I'm not fluent/can't hold a conversation in those languages. I can only read them.

I can speak Vietnamese, English, French, Korean, and some Cantonese (still currently learning this one). I can write in English, French, and Korean. I can understand Vietnamese, English, French, Korean, Cantonese, Dutch, and Japanese. The last two languages are kinda weird I know, but it's just the way my brain works. I could always understand the language and listen to it, but when I need to reply, I can never seem to form the words correctly. I can reply back to you in any of the languages I can speak if you talk to me in the languages I can only understand. If that made any sense lol
 
I'm fluent in english
semi??fluent in chinese... I can speak pretty fluently and understand when ppl talk to me in chinese but I have like no reading/writing ability lol sigh
and I'm alright at reading/understanding french and... less alright at writing/speaking it lol
 
spanish is my first language, but over the years i just kinda forgot most of the grammar rules. i can still hold a conversation somehow. i also know english, i can read a bit of french and a little bit of japanese.
 
very very nearly fluent french
fluent irish
fluent english (my first language)

confident and decent german but nowhere near fluent
 
I am Vietnamese - Australian, so English is my first language and Vietnamese is my second.
I'm learning Japanese and can hold a basic conversation and read (N5).

I'd love to learn French and Norsk though.
 
I learned Spanish on my first quarter at college... BUT that was basic Spanish. I'm not that advanced, I did not go on to study Spanish. I enjoyed it, but I just wanted to learn the basics only.

I can understand the numbers on through three in German and the word "welcome".

I can read Spanish a whole lot better than I can speak/understand while hearing.
 
My first language is English, I'm pretty much fluent in French comprehension-wise (and I can write in French fine) but my accent while speaking is still horrendous and I still stumble a lot because I haven't had any real immersive exposure to it. I've been learning French since I was 9 and went all the way through to complete a minor degree in it. I can understand it perfectly fine, I'm just terrified of speaking it lol.

I took a German course last semester for fun, I liked it. So I know some basic German vocabulary and grammar.

Otherwise, that's pretty much it. I can pick out words and phrases of some languages such as Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean, as well as being able to read hangul. And I can usually get an idea of what's going on when I'm reading something in Italian or Spanish from my plentiful years of learning a romance language.

In the future I'd like to get better at at least one of the east asian languages I'm already familiar with, and I'd love to learn a Scandinavian language. Icelandic is beautiful, but supposedly hard as frick to learn, so I might go with Norwegian.
 

English primarily, but I taught myself how to speak German several years ago. I sort of lost it now, but it comes back in spurts. I'm not German, in nationality or blood. I just thought it would be fun. I'm trying to learn Spanish and Japanese since that would benefit me more in life.
;)
 
English is my first language, but I also have a GCSE ( C, so not too shabby) in French, I really wanna learn Korean and German though.

My first language is Dutch. Other then that I can speak and understand English and am slightly skilled speaking German. I can read it quite well. I took French for a couple of years, but I barely remember anything of it.
