    How many languages ? Parliamo Burdseye as they say!

    This months National Geographic carried an article that states that one in three of people using the net log on in English.
    How many if any other languages do you speak, fluently or otherwise.
    I can get by in German, I am fluent in local Scottish dialect but thats it I'm afraid.

    Cockney Rhyming slang. I talk in it all the time in real life - just not on here coz only the other cockneys would understand me.

    That's it - the other languages i can speak are just words here and there, im only fluent in english [just about LOL] and cockney.

    English and Spanish fluently. I'm a gringa, too, but I was raised by a Spanish professora mother and a Spanish-fluent father, and we lived in Spain when I was a kid and traveled to Mexico a lot, too. Spanish facility comes in very handy in Texas, even Castilian.

    Enough French to conduct basic business and/or get by as a tourist. I don't practice Francais nearly enough. Would like to do some sort of immersion study to maintain and develop my skills.

    I can read Latin. Understand simple Italian and Portuguese (thanks, mostly, to Spanish). I'd like to study something different one of these days, like Japanese, Urdū, Arabic, or Mandarin Chinese.

    I have a friend who is as fluent in Mandarin as he is English and he is English. It's amazing. .

    I can talk about my work experience fluently in french haha; I'm studying french at A level next year 'cause I have a natural flair for it, apparently. I can also count to twelve and say thankyou in german which I'm sure would be really helpful if I was ever in germany.

    YAY!
    well i speak besides english, i am nearly fluent in spanish, i have been studying it for about six years and spent a month in spain with an immersion program. i am also majoring in spanish. i love it. i feel sometimes that things make more sense in spanish than they do in english. i even have dreams en espanol.
    i believe learning another language teaches you to become a far more open, rounded, communicative and understanding person. plus its a very useful commodity and sure makes you a more interesting person.
    sorry guys, but english is not the number one language.
