How many languages do you speak - Page 3

English and some German.

Dutch, English and a bit of German. Although I rarely speak German, parts of the readers we use at college are in German, and I don't usually have trouble reading them. Still, I doubt I'd be able to carry a dinner conversation in that language

I can speak Estonian and English. I study Russian(3 years and going) at school and Japanese(1 year and going strong) at home. When I get to the 10'th grade(1 year), I'll get the oppritunity to study French, German and Spanish, from which I think I'll choose French.

I also know a very small bit of Finnish from watching Finnish TV.

If all goes well, when I'm an adult, I should be able to speak in a minimum of 5 languages.

Being the freak I am, my current highest priority is Japanese.

Would that be English after you flatten all the vowels and throw the R away (thanks proclaimers)

No, no. I was talking on mIRC joking with my friend and accidently post it here so I delete it. Sorry!

Yeah, and I heard they've scrapped the word "gullible" from the dictionary as well.

Whatever.

Hungarian and English fluently. I can hold basic conversations in German and understand a lot of what I read (though not necessarily as good in speech). So I said 3. I also know basic French - studied for 3 years but have forgotten almost everything. I can get by in shops and hotels in France but speaking more in sentence fragments than actual sentences

so I guess that doesn't count.
