multilingual?
 
It's surprising when you see other posters who are multilingual. You might not have known by how well some speak'a da English. Who's multilingual and what other languages.

My spanish is moderately fluent and my french is terrible.


I'm an American, though. Super american.

from best to worst:

flemish (first language)
english
french (basic)
german (reading and listening, i can speak in words but no real sentences)
spanish (reading)
latin

and many languages that originate from the ones i know, i can read and understand some italian or a menu in swedish or so.

Flemish or (Belgian) Dutch is my first language. (it's complicated)
English, fluent at times.
French, rusty
Spanish, basic knowledge, I can get by.
German, like Jean-Marie Pfaff.

all them languages other than american are communist!

I'm rather fluent at finnish and moderate at english. I had to study compulsory swedish in middle- and high school but I learnt fuck all. What a waste of time that was.

Swedish was my first language and I am still fluent. But English is my primary language.

!@#$%! 08.27.2010 10:06 AM

i grew up speaking spanish and learn french in school. then i took english classes separately and ended up living in 'merica.
i can also more or less read portuguese as i took a course once, and i "get" italian because it's close to spanish (it's all dialects of latin after all).
i would like to learn "reading" german, though i understand it's tough as shit; and i'd like to speak japanese--maybe some day.
