I was just curious what other languages people here speak. I really only speak english. And a little french. I know that @benjaminr speaks Greek. And that's about it. 

English, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and I can read some German, though I can't really write it or speak it out loud myself.

[duncannah]

I speak two, not including English

[Cyberspirit]

I speak Hungarian and English. I'm currently trying to learn Japanese to embrace my inner weeb.

[Levent]

Turkish, English and I somewhat understand French and Spanish but I wont even attempt to speak or communicate with those languages even when I am piss drunk.

Guten Tag, Ich mag Kekse (German)

 

Tschä zäme, I ha gärn chrömli (Swiss German)

 

Sup Guys, I like biscuits

I primarily speak English, and can speak Cantonese Chinese due to being Hong Kong Chinese myself. I can't read or write Chinese however since I never bothered to learn it.

 

I can read, write, and speak some Korean, I've been learning off-and-on since May 2017. The level of Korean I'm capable of is comparable to a first-grader, but it's a start.

 

안녕하세요! 저는 민니입니다.

[Mihle]

Norwegian is my first language and English is my second.

 

And because I am Norwegian, I do ofc also understand Swedish and Danish, but I can't write or talk it myself.

Well, it's still a language different from english, so I would count it.

I forgot to mention in my earliest post that, in addition to the languages I already speak, I would like to be able to handle japanese and chinese, and german properly. Why? Well, I've always loved how german sounds like, it's such a cool language. Japanese and chinese are on my list mostly because of all the cool technology and gadgets you can obtain from their respective countries, but which only have specsheets/programming info/etc. only in the aforementioned languages. That said, chinese also sounds quite nice.

Actually, it's not. Sign language is just a set of hand symbols for the respective language.

[Rohith_Kumar_Sp]

I speak English and Kannada(ಕನ್ನಡ ), but i can understand Telugu(తెలుగు), Partial Hindi(हिंदी) and Tamil(தமிழ்). 

PS, you know that meme with ಠ_ಠ ?? that's actually an alphabet in Kannada ಠ - Ta

[Pi31415]

I speak Arabic and engerish

[TetraSky]

French is my first language. I learned English as my second language.
I know a few words in other languages, enough to recognize the language itself but not speak it.... And I know a bit of Japanese from years of watching anime #weeb

[zassou]

The grammar and syntax of sign languages tend to quite different from the written and spoken languages of the lands in which they’re used. It’s definitely not a 1:1 word-sign ratio. And English has many sign languages. American, British, Australian and New Zealand for example. NZSL shares about 60% with BSL and only 30% with ASL. So sign languages are definitely not foreign languages in the places they come from, but are also not just “hand representations of _______”

 

About 8-10 years ago I started to learn NZSL to communicate with some deaf kids in my class, but they moved schools and I didn’t keep up with it. I still remember the basics and can say a lot more than I can understand. It’s very hard to “read” in real time. 

 

I’m semi-fluent in French and am heading up there to work and home my language skills for a year soon.

 

I’ve also just started to learn Russian from my best mate. I can read the characters and make all the sounds now and I’m getting better at listening to her and her husband speaking.
