Well, besides English, which I learned as a young boy in England(if you call Geordie English).....I am now also, quite fluent in Canadian and American........neither can be confused with the Queens English, but neither can Geordie, for that matter ?.............

   

English and Afrikaans (I doubt many of you will know what that even is.lol).

Astro is right! i speak SPanish too and i can understand 90% of a conversation spoken either in French or Italina without ever learning either language

German is like english in some parts, i've learned a little here and there (from classmates) but nothing really worth saying and i dont find it that hard

I speak American, Mexican Spanish, and a little Korean...  I know enough German to get my faced smacked real good.

Poly,

Good to see somebody knows what Afrikaans is.

You speak Girlfriend-MAN YOU NEED TO GIVE LESSONS IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT WOMEN MEAN!!!! LOL

I don't speak Girlfriend fluently but just enough for me to know  -  hey time to BACK off!!!!! LOL

I can speak a little French and a little German.  Enough that if a French or German person speaks very slowly I can understand them - just.

I once worked in a petrol station and a Lithuanian truck driver came in.  Neither of us spoke the others language but we managed to communicate in very bad German.  We ended up having a cup of tea.  He was one of those people that make having a bad job worthwhile occasionally.  My written German and French is appalling tho' see Silent Exploder for details LOL.

-German (erm...it's a really hard language. not for me,but for foreigners.)
-English (surprise,surprise!  )
-French (deux baguettes,s'il vous plaît. lol! okay, a lot more than that.)
and some words Italian,Spanish ,Russian,Hungarian.

p.s: latin? "errare humanum est".

English 
Spanish
French (very rusty)
Some Russian
Some Greek (like about enough to order lunch)
a little Arabic that I picked up from my CO in the Cadets
And I can read and listen to italian but I can't speak it or right it (thanks to my Spanish)

With the help of dictionary.com's translator, I can kinda understand a lot of languages

  I started playing around with the Italian program, I'm a bit surprised how much like spanish it is, I only know a little spanish, but enough to already see the similarities between the two languages.
  I am looking on Ebay for a learn spanish program, that would be much more useful to me, considering we have spanish radio, TV stations and plenty of spanish speaking people around here.
  But I'm having fun with the Italian anyway.

i know someone who could help ya.

American
German
Japanese
Vietnamese

It's been so long since I used anything but American....probably wouldn't do to well in a conversation anymore.

Fluent in Swearhelie....lol.

oops looks like i am a little tardy to this topic

i speak:
English - Really? Anyone Surprised?
French - pretty good at, have kept it up
German- Very rusty grammar wise
Spanish- Just enough to order a breakfast burrito down the street

i used to speak quite well Indonesian but i couldn't do it to save my life now! 

My whole entire family is Hispanic (Nicaragua) and my family is HUGE!!!!! So huge, in fact, that's it's impossible to keep them all in one small location. So, they had no choice but to spread all around the Western Hemisphere. lol

My dad used to travel so much around the world, as a business, that he learned a little bit of German, Saudi Arabian, Venezuelan, and nearly a dozen more other languages in nearly a dozen countries.

My Uncle is still in the Army and he used to be in Germany as well. I have an uncle who's an actual pilot (with an intrument rating) and used to be in cuba for some time.

I can go on with the list of all the other people in my family, but my fingers will get tired by the time I am even half way done. LOL

Yo hablo Ingles (cien porciento), un poco de Aleman, y todo de Espanol. Y si vo no me crees, salite de aqui y nunca me hablas. HAHAHAHAHAHA

I have learned a little German through that so-called internet dictionary. LOL

Rifle - with what you know about languages and many other subjects - I would say that you have a well rounded knowledge base - clever boy.

Now the question is - do you feel that you would classify yourself as a "Cunning Linguist"?

If you speak more than one language, you are multi-lingial...

If you only speak one language, than are you lingual?

Smoke wondered how long it would take for someone to pick up on that one.  

Only 3 days. 
The people on this forum are getting slow.

At one time I knew enough Spanish that I could have probably been OK if I had to use it (and not just Mexican/S. American spanish, but the spanish also spoken in Spain-for those who don't know Spain has a slightly different spanish).  But I don't think I was fluient by any means-and its been so long that I have forgotten most of it.

OUCH !...........
