How many languages can you speak/understand?

German, English pretty good
French and Dutch because of school
and bit japanese because of hobby
 
English. That's about it. I did three years of french, so I used to know enough to be able to hold a conversation that at least makes sense, though I dropped that subject when choosing my GCSEs because I detested the teacher that did it, and it doesn't really appeal to me in the way some other languages do. If my year group did spanish instead, I may have kept it, since I go to Spain quite often, but I honestly wasn't too bothered over French.

Although I'm not fluent in anything except English, I can count 1-10 in a number of languages.
 
English was my first language and I learned German as a second language, but my speaking skills aren't that good but I can read and translate German to English.
 
I only fluent in English. I used to be semi-fluent on a "able to understand perfectly well what you're saying but am terrified of responding" in American Sign Language lol I took some classes in Spanish from 6th-10th grade and despite living in a Spanish city in a border state to Mexico and being part Hispanic, I just couldn't grasp Spanish :( but when I got the option of taking ASL I actually flourished and learned things amazingly fast!

I find I'm actually losing my hearing so I need to read people's lips a lot more to understand what they're asking me ^^;; and while I totally fail at Spanish, because of my job I can understand a few key phrases in Spanish as well as numbers from 1-100

First language is English. :) I studied German for 5 years and got an A in it in my final exam but... Uh... I can't really remember much of it now. :rolleyes: And I didn't really know that much. I also studied Japanese for 4 years and got an A* in my final exam. I can hold decent conversations in it, but I am not so confident that I could say that I am anywhere near fluent. But I plan to study it further later on in my life, I just don't have the time to now.
 
English is my first language because it's what I was schooled in.
I knew Romanian better as a child, but know it enough to get by for sure.
I'm learning Spanish, and after 6 years have reached elementary status.
 
I like to think that I can understand Japanese pretty well, but when it comes to speaking it... Writing it is even worse... I can also recognize different languages, even if I can't actually understand or speak them.
 
English, Japanese, some Russian. I took Spanish classes but I only remembered it long enough to take the test.
 
I know Tagalog from being born in Philippines and English. I took a couple courses in Latin as well, but I can only understand bits and pieces. I really want to learn Esperanto though.
 
I only know English fluently but I really want to try and learn some basic Japanese, since I want to try and apply for the JET Scheme after I've graduated from uni in a few years time.
 
English and German fluently, can read Spanish fluently and speak it ok, been having an ongoing love-affair with Swedish since I saw my first Bergman film when I was younger but can't speak it or understand that much (the German helps with it though).
 
First language is English, learning Latin in school, "self-teaching" Italian & French with help from my cousins & friends.

Used to be able to read Korean but I went four years without practicing and I've forgotten most. :v

Je sais fran?ais et anglais. I don't know that much of French (I'm in my first year of taking it) but English is my native.
 
I know otaku/weeaboo japanese, which includes: Kawaii desu ne, NANDE?!?!, Sugoi, nani, soka, Arigatou, Tauskete, and much much more.
(Probably butchered the spelling of all of that.)

I'm also fluent in english, and hindi.
