Yeah, I only speak English. I know the basics of Spanish. I've taken like 5 Spanish classes in school but do I remember anything? NO! I live in a border town, too. Oh well. I know some Elvish, though! :lol2:

English here but I can make myself misunderstood in Spanish & French, can curse in Italian and Arabic and am pretty good at Sign Language.

What is that saying... ???

Ah yes,

If you speak 3 languages you are tri-lingual, if you speak 2 languages you are bi-lingual and if you speak one language you are American. ::) ;D

I want a guy to say romantic things to me in French, but I'll never know what he's saying because I'm an American (idiot).

I love French. Its quite easy to learn, although the verbs and accents are difficult to get used to!

Habla muy poco espaņol. So kinda bilingual...or do you have to speak it fluently? I will be speaking French in about a year or so. Hoping to learn Italian one day.

Wait...isn't 'to speak' in Spanish femine?

ETA - Changed verb to proper form

I took two years of Spanish and two of French in HS and two years of Latin in college. I can understand a few words here and there from each of those languages, but I'm not fluent. A friend tried to teach me Afrikaans and another German, but that didn't go too well.

One language. Just English. My friend knows how to speak some Japanese, which is really cool, I think. I know how to ask where the bathroom is in French though, which could definitely come in handy! :D

Just English, but I know a smattering of Japanese, Spanish & learned to sing two songs in Hebrew.

If I could learn any language fluently, it would be Gaelic, 'cause of my Irish & Scott heritage!

Well, in theory 5 - German, of course, had English (10 years), French (5 years) and Spanish (6 years) in school and somehow picked up some Swedish - but I haven't had a French or Spanish lesson in at least 5 years, so I've forgotten a lot, and my knowledge of Swedish is mostly passive (meaning I can understand written Swedish and some spoken Swedish, but I know almost nothing about grammar and can only say/write some basic things), so it's more like 3,5 languages ;)

I have the complete run of a comic called "Starman", & in one of the later issues, the writer thought it would be "interesting" to put an intire sequence of dialog in French - with no translation!
So I had to get a French / English dictionary from the library to figure out what was going on!
What amazes me is how much of it I was able to figure out without the dictionary!
