I speak English. I had a year of Spanish in High School, but I don't remember most of what I learned.

I only speak Dutch. I'm pretty chauvinistic when confronted with foreigners who haven't mastered my language yet and usually refuse to continue the conversation they so clumsily started in any other language. Doesn't mean I can't speak thern, I just won't.

Fluently I speak/understand German, English, French, Mandarin Chinese and Latin. I also know Classic Chinese, Sanskrit, Old Hebrew, Ancient Greek and Japanese, as well as a bit of Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Pali, Italian, Spanish and Dutch.
I had to learn most of these languages due to my studies in theology and orientalism and I am currently improving my Arabic and Hebrew skills.

I can speak english fluently, and I am on my fifth year of spanish language classes. So far I can understand and speak it very well, but I wouldn't consider myself fluent as of yet. |

I'm fluent in English and I've taken four years of German in high school. I can understand the language to an extent, but simply speaking it is harder than just learning it. I may take a class or two for German in college but I'm not sure yet. _________________

Fluent in English and Japanese, but my Japanese is more fluent than native speakers due to my background as a translator. I am continuously studying German, but it's still bad--I can do German-English translations with some effort, though. Also, like Iscalio, I've been exposed to many other languages through my studies in theology, namely Latin, Classical Greek, and Classical Chinese (Written Form). However, my knowledge in those languages are just for bare-minimum, read-only basis. Currently, I'm brushing up on my Kentucky dialect. |

I'm fluent in Swedish and English. I have papers from my school saying that I can speak french to, but I dont belive that =). I had five and a half years of french lesson I speak better Japanese (learnt from Anime) then I speak french. That is how good I am. And I'm not blaming my techer. I just hated that damn laguage so much.
I studied for a week to last test and made it by one point. Yey.
And I can understand Norwegian and Danish too but so can almost evryone in Sweden. Cant speak those languages very well but thats not necessary beacuse Norwegian people and Danish people understand Swedish pretty well.
PS Swesihs is one of the most difficult languagese in the world to learn (unless you live here). _________________ Shiver My Shuriken!! |

I can speak English and Spanish fluently, and I can also speak Japanese, Italian, and French well enough to have a conversation with someone or get around or translate a few things, but I'd have to have a dictionary nearby to read really difficult books. ^_^; |

Only fluent in English. Been taking German classes in both High School and college, but I'm afraid I have not been too successful in mastering the language at all. |
