And right now, I am trying to learn French. I don't think that I will be able to do so. It is very difficult.
Virgil, Thanks for the compliment but I know that your English is far more better than mine. Maybe, someday I will get better, as there is always space for hope. Anyway, thanks for the encouragement.
I can speak French, English and Spanish quite fluently. I'm learning Japanese this year also but I find it tough to write or read it, yet it is easily spoken.
I would say two: My native swedish, and UK english. It is a matter of definition, of course...Quote:

We have learnt german for five or six years or so, but we can't read a book without needing to look up a word in a dictionary in every sentence.
Have been learning French for this year too, but haven't learnt much.
So:
1 language - Estonian
0,96 languages - English
0,62 languages - German
0,11 languages - French.
Summing up, we speak 2,69 languages.
Fluent to point of conversation, reading and writing,
English
Danish
Norwegian
Indonesian
Learning French, can converse, but mostly about the weather :)
and i like most danes presume that I can speak swedish. In any case I can understand it perfectly.
i only got two for now:
Filipino
English
Japanese is next soon, so would be French. i understand Spanish, though can't speak it fluently.
Do I have to count my native language when voting in the poll???
I speak Italian and I'd say my English is fluent. Sometimes I'm in doubt about whether it can be defined as fluent, because in another forum I visit some people whose English is much better than mine claim they are not fluent... :confused: ...so what should I say?
Anyway I'd say it's fluent as I can have most kind of conversations with not much hesitation, even if my spoken English is much worse than my written and I have a clear Italian accent...
Using Taliesin's category, that is ability to read a book, then I should add French, but although I can read books, I don't feel fluent as I speak quite badly and my grammar is not too good.
But I think I consider fluent a language in which I can talk almost of everything, and that would be Italian of course, and English - and almost fluent in French.
I can slowly cope with books in Russian, with a dictionary though...
I can understand Spanish but speak very little of it; I know some German but not very much, just for basic conversations and with many mistakes. And I know some basics of Hungarian, I can understand simple sentences but my making of simple sentences mostly leads to tons of mistakes.
i speak three hole languages, English, American(lol) and Pig Latin
My `isshah tum us guldaste se bhi khubsoorat ho, jo bharat ke saare auraton ko milaakar bana hai. At least to me (and preferably to none else).
So is that all you know or can you speak it well? :)
By the way, you don't actually know what he looks like, do you? Just how he is painted later on by various artists? Or do you mean in yoru imagination?
Scheherazade, what five languages do you speak?
What languages do you speak, Mililalil? And what did you say before?
