What languages do you know? If you only know a little bit of one, specify which ones you're less fluent or more fluent in. Also tell which you want to learn, if any.

Here are mine:

English (Midwest U.S. dialect) - native speaker
Spanish - almost fluent
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) - what web pages are written in. This is not a spoken language, of course.

I can understand a bit of written French and some spoken or written Portuguese.

I want to learn Finnish, Thai, Greek, and maybe German.

flouant in enlish

enlish eh?

i can:

speak:
Spanish ~ i'm pretty fluent in conversation, but i'm taking a grammar course in school.

the tiniest bit of Portugese ~ only if i ever need to find the bathroom,

understand:
formal Polish ~ my mother's polish, and i use to take a class in it too, but my mom took me out of it since i didn't speak a word of it, i can't really keep up a casual conversation anymore, though.

italian ~ if you know spanish, you can understand italian.

squamish (native american language near the vancouver area) ~ when i was in the 4-7th grades, and a substitute came by, i was always skippin out on math to go to the squamish classes (no one cared, because others came with me. and the squamish teacher was the coolest dude ever. )

quechua (incan language, argentinian variety, though) ~ my daddy's side of the family are technically incan descendants.

Redneck/Southern US English - Fully fluent
French - I can barely remember any of it, but sometimes I can read a little bit of it.
Spanish - I can speak a very minimal amount, and read very little.

..whew... I think thats it.

holy shit, this board is full of so. many. geeks. who knows TWENTY-THREE programming languages, seriously?

oh, i speak english and french. well, my french isn't nearly as good as it should be. I have trouble understanding movies, but that's because our classes are taught to us by french-speaking english people, so that's the only accent we know. if i were to spend some time in a frenchish place, i'd be perfectly fluent.

I speak English. I spoke Italian in first grade, what with the living there and all, but I've since lost it. I'm going to start learning it again next year.

I took four years of Spanish, but they were elementary school, so, you know... I didn't learn anything.

A lot are very similar, once you know one it's very easy to pick up a bunch of others. For instance, I didn't list javascript, and I'm not particularly experienced at making stuff with it, but if I look at javascript code I can pretty much understand it and tweak with it if there's something I want to change.

Dutch - native speaker.
English - fluent.
German - basic understanding, both written and spoken, I can speak it a little.
French - very basic understanding, written only.

Woohoo we get to include computer languages!!

US English (I think... sometimes I'm not quite sure, though)
HTML
JavaScript

Used to know, probably still would if I just studied a little bit for reminders:
Pascal (:lol:)
Basic
some others that I don't feel like thinking of the names of... a bunch of ones used on the web

Pretended to know:
I took French for 2 years, but never really learned anything. :*)**

I was just going to say that.

Proper English english - fluent
German - a bit rusty, but I can get by and read books and watch movies and stuff.
French - I studied it at school for 5 years, but that was a long time ago now.
Russian - I know a few words and phrases
Dutch - I can sometimes read/understand because it looks like German lots of the time.
COBOL - pretty much fluent
SQL - I use quite a lot too
CICS - I can write with a little help from manuals/copying other bits of code!

I'm fluent in english, and not too bad in french. I've been taking weekly spanish (mostly latin american) lessons for 2 months or so now, and know some basic conversation stuff and important vocabulary I'll need for my trip there in august.
