Where do they speak that language? Never heard of it.

Last time I checked, ENGLISH is spoken in the United States rolleyes.gif

I'm sure it would be nice to have your country's official language originate from your own country, but too bad.

1) YHBT

2) I forgot my second point.

English, and a bit of French as well, enough to get by. Kinda rusty on the French though, but I've chosen it as an optional module for m next year at University so it should get me back up to speed and better than I was before.

I speak Turkish (native), English and German very fluently (I am speaking the non-native languages for the last 20 years). Started learning japanese too, so only very small basic sentences, I'll see how it goes.

I speak one. One Zero One Zero Zero. With that I could steal your money, your secrets, your sexual fantasies, your whole life. In any country, any time, any place I want. I multitask like you breathe. I couldn't think as slow as you if I tried.

Only if you was in a movie my friend ;) plus your speaking English.

I speak one language, and thats English. I have a lot of things i want to achieve in life, speaking another language is not one of them as I wouldn't really benefit from it in the job/life I have chosen.

Croatian (I could technically add all the other languages of the Serbo-Croatian diasystem here, the situation's very similar to Scandinavian languages )

Slovenian (doesn't belong to the aforementioned diasystem but I have a fairly good understanding of it)

English

German (Not sure what to say of my proficiency in this one as it's been a long time since I've learned German. I still take in tons of German vocabulary through the telly and websites, and I understand most of it, but I think calling it passive knowledge would be more appropriate. I think I could get by with it, though.)

Dutch (learning)

I've learned a tiny bit of Bulgarian in the past (hated it) and I can get the gist of most articles/texts in Russian without too many problems.

Papiamentu - Native island language where I live.

Portuguese - Understand it very well since this was the language my parents spoke to me growing up.

Dutch - Language we speak at schools here.

English - Learned it mostly by myself and some school.

Spanish - My island is close to South America so I only used to watch South American TV.

Brazilian Portuguese - Native

English - Speak fluently but I fall short sometimes, especially with the proper use of prepositions (on, in, at, etc.) :unsure:

Spanish - Cannot speak at all but can understand most of it since it is somewhat similar to Portuguese.
