German and Italian (double mother language.... Had a smart father)

But use english for my jobs and online,

understand and speak a little of a ancient catalan dialect used in my town in sardinia.

french and spanish are going to be the next ones to be learned

[coocy]

My native tongue is Dutch and the local dialect.
As you see I can speak, read and write English fluently.
Understand a little bit of hindi ( Bollywood films )

[Zxian]

Swedish and English... learned both at the same time. My parents both speak swedish, so we spoke that at home, and English when I went out.

I still speak swedish with my parents at home.... makes for great "secret discussions" in front of everyone else... really cheezes them off!

I can understand French, German, and Dutch, though, and I'm thinking of doing graduate studies in Europe... so probably one of those is going to improve in about 2 years...

English, but my high school English teacher would probably argue that one with me.

After two years of Spanish in H.School, I can order tacos and beer. As long as it's in an american restaurant.

German,,,, enough to get around and eat well, after 2.5years in Germany.
(Bier und Schnitzel, bitte)

Been studying English all my life and still don't have it all figgered out yet.
They say it has more words in it than any other language on the planet.
Over 30,000 now.

It's the most common language used in Business and Science.

I understand that French is great for sweet-talking the ladies, though.

Cheers,

We speak Afrikaans in the house. (Derivative of Dutch, with a mixture of African, Malaysian, and other words. Spoken in South Africa.)
Also fluent in English. Can also understand Chi-Yao (African language from Malawi.)
Can decypher German and Dutch, with enough effort , from writing because Afrikaans in relatively similair.
