| My first language is English. I took Spanish for freakin 7 years and I still cant speak it. Took a year of Latin in fourth grade, and can still sing a song about the parts of the body. I know a few words of random languages. I would love to be fluent in a language other than my own. |
| Spanis is the first English is the second French has to be the third, as now i am in france :P A bit of Japanese, but not much |

| Why do so many people go "a few words x". That's just silly. You all know a few words Arabic (for example algebra, alchemy), you all know a few words Latin, actually, a lot of Latin, and Greek for that matter, you know Swahili (say safari), you know German, French, et cetera ad infinitum (o look Latin!). There's nothing remarkable in knowing a few words of a language. It's just... Not worth mentioning. If you speak a language you speak it. If you know ten words, it's not even worth mentioning, it's not in the same area. |

| English, Cambodian & French from elementary school lol. |
Lilah said: Kaiserpingvin said: That is an excellent point! But the thread asks what languages we speak, the word speak means "express with speech". I can express myself with speech in Maori, but not enough to hold a real conversation. So although you are right, it does not seem worth a mention, it still constitutes "speak" :)Why do so many people go "a few words x". That's just silly.

If you know ten words, it's not even worth mentioning, it's not in the same area. It would be different if the thread title asked "what languages do you speak fluently or enough to maintain conversation" ^_^ Ah, semantics ^_^ ♥ The above person in purple makes the exact point. The thread in question is rather vague so it's plenty reason to say if you know even a few words if so. Myself I only have English as my Fluent language. I know a few words in Czech, Swedish and French. I would be right in saying that as we are on this forum in particular, most people would know a few Japanese words also. |

| English as first language, Spanish as second. I know a bit of Japanese (romaji), Latin, and Italian, but probably not enough to get by in their countries. I'm currently interested in learning some Hebrew and Arabic as I do Bible study and it's a personal interest as well. |
| Dutch is my native tongue. English is my second language. I know bits of German (used to be good at it, but never used it and thus forgot it) and even less Japanese. |
