How many languages do you speak, read or write?

[espo]

Does cussing count as a language ?

[vanna]

Spanish and now fluent in english reading, writing and sarcasm 

[Dana Lane]

I speak enough Japanese to get around Tokyo and find a place to drink beer. :-) I used to know how to read and right katakana and hirigana.

[Clay]

only (somewhat  ) fluent in german and english.
i took classes/tried french, swedish, irish and mandarin... but it just didn't work.
i guess my head is too full of other crap lately to learn anything *sigh*

[justmeinoz]

Ask me again in a year or so. Hopefully I will have gone back to study.  German and/or French or Swedish.
Karen.

[ajborelli]

German, Russian, and English.
i can read some hebrew and some french.

[nico_nico]

Good English and Japanese. Basic German. Very little Viet, the pronunciation drives me up the walls but it's a fun language.

[Luc]

Obviously, I don't speak English.

I can understand about 40% of German, but can hardly speak it. I can understand and read about 70% of Spanish, but can only speak a few sentences. I'm fluent in French (reading, writing, speaking), and can translate the hell out of Ancient Greek and Latin.

I can understand English pretty well but I need a lot of practice in writing and speaking. Of course I speak my native language, Hungarian, but that doesn't count I believe I would like to learn some more languages in the future, I like the sound of Italian, maybe I'll start with that, but for other reasons I would need German as well.

[RomanAlexander]

English is my first language, but I know a bit of German and I can understand Armenian perfectly, yet can't speak of a word of it myself (my grandparents are Armenian). I took a year of Spanish class but all I really remembered was "donde estan mi pantalones?" or "Where are my pants?"

[Maga Girl]

all with the google translator  xD

[AbraCadabra]

Ach Du liebes Lottchen, so viele sprechen Deutsch, daß hätte ich mir jetzt auch wieder nicht gedacht. :-)

So,
1) English read, write, speak,
2) German, same as was first language, AND ta, ta,
3) Afrikaans, speak so-so, read so-so, but hopeless in writing,
4) French just a little, plus
5) Italian hardly worth the mentioning.
