How many languages do you speak?
I can speak my natal language (romanian) and english.
I also know enough french to carry out a basic conversation.
I am asking this simply because I am curios.
Tri. Swedish, German and English
Since Swedish is my native language I also have little problem understanding Norwegian and Danish.
I can carry a simple conversation in Spanish, too.
English and Spanish.
I can also speak English the way it used to be spoken. Which basically means no soft vowels. If that counts.
English and a language I'm sure none of you have ever heard of, Gujarati. Native language from India. Hindi however, that sounds like gibberish to me, lol.

@Alexandruxx: Native not natal
Okay, sorry :D
In my language both natal and native are acceptable (natală and nativă) so I thought it's the same way in english...

3 but my German has really degraded over the last 2 years.
Mine has as well, the difference being that German is my mother tongue.
I consume so much stuff in English so that my English is probably better than my German at this point lol
I didn't count my 4 years of French since I can barely put together a full sentence anymore (it's been 10 years after all^^).
Three. Finnish, Swedish and English. But I'm aiming for 5 by adding German and Japanese to the list.
Also thanks to swedish I can understand norwegian and danish fairly well.
Finlandssvensk.
I am fluent in jibberish, as well as utter nonsense.
And I'd love for this poll to have had like a way to check how many from where voted what - kinda curious what the generations of US folks on GB have, if it's the idea that exists everywhere in the world that most of them only know English or if if a second language is getting popular.
I can forgive you guys if you're sticking to English, German is gross and French is the other way around.
Don't try to study Finnish.
Since I just completed a Chinese class, I can now speak 2 languages. :)
Chinese (Simplified) & English.
I only know English. I've tried to learn Spanish, but it just wouldn't happen. :\ (Even after several attempts at it during High School, Spanish was the only class I ever outright failed in college)
