I speak Italian, English, German, Spanish, French, and some Gaelic.

not as many as you only english and dutch

English, Brazilian Portugese, Latin, Pig-Latin ;D, and a bit of German. I also speak fluent Rattese.  :D

Wow Portuguese? Cool. Latin's next for me....

English, some Spanish (formally learning), and some D'ni (fictional languages count, right?), and I am studying Latin.

So far, every single homeschooler I've ever met always learns Latin at some point in their life. It's kinda funny. :)

You just met one who hasn't, Nightfire.  :P

I know English well, traces of Arabic, Spanish, and German, and I'm studying Russian. 
Also, I intend to study Linguistics in college so I can learn other languages.  My goal is to be fluent in Russian, English (check), and Chinese. 

Spanish and German fantastic. Gaelic rrreeeeeaaaallllyyyy hard.

I'm about 1/4 Irish (my dad's mother comes from a through-and-through Irish family), and my dad's sister speaks Gaelic very well. 
From what I've seen of it, it's such a mess when it comes to pronunciations, since it has the same and similar letters to English, but with different pronunciations for different combinations.  Russian has a little of that, but I'm getting the hang of it. 

I speak English (kinda... the quality has definitely degraded since I've lived overseas :P) and I would call my Japanese... adequate. I can understand a lot more than I can speak.

I studied French in primary school, so I can't remember any. I studied German for four years at high school, and I also can't remember any of that. I also studied Chinese outside school, but guess what? That's all gone too. What a waste! I also studied Latin for six months at school, but I don't count that at all. I often think that having a working memory would be really nice. ;) Languages are like that, though. If you don't use them every day you forget so easily.

english and bad english ;D   oh and dont forget hillbilly english and i understand twi'lek but i cant speak it

English andim currently learning French, though im happy to just know English

English. My second language is Bahasa Indonesia. I also speak a bit of French and Mandarin. And, if fictional languages count, Lapine (Watership Down) and Ga'Hoolian (Guardians of Ga'Hoole). Also, I speak fluent Pig Latin. ;)

I can speak English, Khmer, Spanish, and I'm learning Latin. I don't aim to speak and read it fluently though, just so I can know etymology and stuff like that. :D

I only speak American. Seriously though, I speak English. I can say a few phrases in Spanish, and in Latin. Most of my Spanish I have just picked up over the years, from TV shows, my relations speaking it, and my own reading of it. Latin I'm learning in school. I also speak my own language, which I really just made so I could say mean things without people knowing. And I understand the gibberish toddlers speak.

american with a hint of scottish accent

Cool!

Spanish is a beautiful language and so fun to speak. I'm glad I met peop,e who are bi-, tri- or even qualingual. Most people are either "You're totally lying" or "Nerd."

Only English these days.  There was a time I studied French and American Sign Language...both have been long forgotten.

I speak English.....yup.
I was supposed to learn Spanish, but our program sucks. One of the first phrases they have you learn (before hello and such) is "Somebody stole my passport!"  :o
Another was "Do you have a pen?"
Oh! And let's not forget "Where is the bank?"

I also know odds and ends of ASL....mostly just finger spelling, but I'd like to learn more!

@Nightfire: I never learned Latin and I'm homeschooled! I was supposed to, but life was just too crazy for mom with 4 small children to teach.

There is no language called American, I think. It's the way Americans talk English. :D

In that case, I speak Australian. ;) I have, however, picked up a hint of an American/Canadian accent since most of the English-speakers I hang out with are from North America. My 'r' sounds have become noticeably less British.

I was joking. American's kinda have their own language, if you consider bad grammar a language.

Me too! And I'm fascinated by accents.

I was wondering, do you speak fluent Khmer or do you just know enough to get by in your daily life in Cambodia? I noticed when I was there that pretty much everyone (in the cities, anyway) knew how to speak English as well as Khmer.

I know enough to communicate. 'Neakh nikhyey khmae teh?'

Nice. I once had my siggie in Brazilian Portugese, but I had to switch back to English, because everyone kept thinking it was either Spanish or Latin! :o

I have a touch of a Southern accent (American Southern, you understand).  Y'all, real quick, and several other euphemisms regularly enter into my ordinarily neat and tidy speech. 

It probably comes from having lived in North Carolina most of my life, but it's kind of funny to think that I do have that touch of an accent, but neither of my parents do, since they're from Illinois. 

that's a lot

i speak English  and some   Latin

Hey Buckler, please don't double post. If you think of something to add, please use the modify button.

I don't know how some of you can keep that number of languages in your head. When I was learning Japanese, German and Chinese at the same time I had a lot of trouble, and now I have a hard enough time just keeping Japanese (and English sometimes :P) in my head.

Just English and a little bit of Spanish. It's been slipping away from me ever since I completed that elementary Spanish course.

nice same ( above post)

100% Fluent English, awesome at German and I'm learning Japanese.

I like Japanese cooking.

Ich esse japanische Kuche.

Nihon ryori ga suki desu.

German, Arabic, Latin, Greek, Enlish, Hebrew, French, Russian, and Hindi

I speak English as my first language but I am fluent in German.  Im more or less proficient in French and Spanish.  I want to go back to college to study language one day; I have a knack for picking them up without much trouble.  I'd love to learn Mandarin or Japanese next.

What!?!?!?!?!?!?!  :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

You should look at my topic French so you could speak french, are you good at it?

I speak french, english. and learning spanish and want to learn latin, italian, german, and a lot more.  :D

Parle vous francias?

Moi je parle français.

Si tu veux dans The Cellars j'ai mis un topic(le mot m'échappe) sur le français.   :)

I dont know what you 2 said. I speak english, korean, and some spanish

My Dad and I were watching a channel in German and we couldn't understand a thing

I'm learning Spanish. When I was younger I was learning koiné Greek. That's an ancient version of Greek that they don't speak anymore. But I'm not doing Greek now.

So, what about you guys?

I believe I made a topic like this before, but a mod will probably merge this one with the other.  ;)

Anyway, I speak French as my primary language, and I know English very well. I'm learning Spanish currently, and soon I'll be learning Latin. Once I've mastered these two, I'm going for German and maybe Italian.  ;)

I can speek English and German (I'm half American half German) and had Latin and French. But I forgot my Latin and French. Sorry Redwaller, I just didn't like French.

S'alright, French is quite difficult for English with all the pronounciations, verbs, genders and all.  ;)

I'm currently learning Portuguese. I get lots of help if I get stuck because both my Grandparents and my Mom speak Portuguese.

I can speak a little bit of Spanish, but it's been since high school so I'm a bit rusty.
If you count computer languages I know several.

Redwaller was correct, I just merged two of the languages topics together. ;)

I'm curious, what do you guys think are the hardest things about learning another language?

Hmmm, probably the different pronounciations, they need a bit of time to get used to.

The words.  :D

For me it would be the grammar. Learning where to put "the", "a", "that", etc., is difficult! Especially since some of those words have different meanings depending on how they're used in the sentence.     

I'm learning Latin, which is tough, because I don't know anyone who speaks Latin.

I really can only speak English, but I've been in class for Spanish, Italian and French at various times. Right now, I'm taking Chinese. Undoubtedly the most trouble I've had thus far.

...But I will get it! *Shake fist*

*Bumps just because*

Fluent English, a smattering of Spanish, a few Finnish words (Thanks, Sierra :P) and I could probably carry on a one-sided conversation with ballet terminology.

Does Pig-latin count? Aka Double talk.  :P

It was pretty cool to realize recently, when I did a count, that I can hold conversations in five languages, and I can read and write in three alphabets.  I'm only fluent in English, but I should be getting close to that level in two or three other languages before long.

In response to Lily's question, the most trouble I have with other languages is changing pronouns and adjectives based on the gender of a noun.  Gendered language is difficult.

English and some Latin.

Technically Spanish, but only to get my Honors diploma and for university requirements.

I can barely hold a proper conversation in Spanish.

English, and learning French, German, and Polish

English, learning Chinese, German and Latin. Really want to learn Irish Gaelic.

I forgot to mention: I can read music.  ;)

English, learning Spanish (reading, speaking and writing), learning some Russian phrases, and can read some more simple music. (Only went to so many piano classes).

I'm in Spanish 1 right now, and have learned a lot so far. My grade is a 99, so I'm hoping to keep that up.

I can also read and speak some elvish phrases and can sing the Skyrim Theme word for word.

Elvish phrases. Of course. (then again, I can read Aurebesh, so yeah....)

I know English quite well. I'm somewhat fluent in Korean and to a lesser extent, Spanish. I'm well-versed in music. I know some Java, Python, and C.

I can do a little Python.

I really shouldn't have posted with the last post. Aurebesh isn't even a proper language, even by fictional standards. It's just glyphs instead of letters. *sigh*

That makes it even harder! :)

@Del: Irish Gaelic seems pretty cool, I've always wanted to learn it. Tap into my Irish roots  ;D
