I have always wanted to know if you are fluient in more than one lang. which lang. do you think in? Or talk to yourself in? Your native lang.?
Just a thought out of left field.

I'm bilingual in that I can read and write in Spanish fluently. (I speak English natively.) Unfortunately, I can't speak Spanish very well because the way my mind works (translating back and forth) and Spanish is spoken so rapidly. I keep having to tell native speakers, "mas despacio, por favor" when they're talking to me. However, I can read a newspaper written in Spanish from cover to cover and understand every article, without having to resort to a dictionary more than a couple of times. So I don't know if that counts or not.

I am bilingual...

I speak, write, and read Spanish, and English.

and several dialects of each !!!!

Whenever I speak, I think in the language I'm speaking..
but, ANY time I'm working with numbers, I think in Spanish....

The Latin base lets me understand French and Italian with very little trouble. I tend to sing along with Andre Bocceli and Eros Ramazotti...

I am sort of bilingual. I can speak Spanish but since I don't speak it very often, I have lost it. It saddens me because I am Mexican and I can hardly speak my own language. I can read it just fine and understand everything I read. I can understand when someone speaks it. I can't write it or speak it very well. I guess it is time for me to relearn.

I'm officially bilingual. My father's Spanish-Filipino and my mother is Chinese-Filipino. I speak English and Tagalog fluently. I understand very limited Spanish and French.

Melusine and Rikard are quite amazing. They're trilingual I believe.

I am fluent in English, Dutch and German. I have a Dutch mother, a German father (who btw has lived in Holland for almost 30 years and speaks Dutch better than most Dutchmen http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif) and I study English. I also know some French, can read it fairly well and my accent's supposed to be good, but it's a bit too fast to really understand http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif. At the university I also learned Old and Middle English.

A lot of Dutch people are trilingual, since Holland is only a small country and no one speaks Dutch were forced to learn other languages.

Just dropping in this line, but I believe the correct terms for someone who speaks many languages is a "POLYGLOT". POLY meaning many e.g. Polystyrene, GLOT meaning throat (I think) e.g. Epiglotis
