Who's multilingual?

[Rivers]

My first language is Portuguese, obviously I speak English, my Spanish is rusty :-/ and I can understand allot Italian and French even without ever learning these languages.
I want to learn German (I already know some bad words ) and would like to learn Cantonese or Japanese just for fun

[BMan1113VR]

oops looks like i am a little tardy to this topic

i speak:
English - Really? Anyone Surprised?
French - pretty good at, have kept it up
German- Very rusty grammar wise
Spanish- Just enough to order a breakfast burrito down the street

A little German

Smidgin of Chinese

Tagalog

Spanish

Japanese - skosh

Ebonics - I  as well as others can speak it - but no one really understands it.

i used to speak quite well Indonesian but i couldn't do it to save my life now!  :-[

[HerSELF]

I speak English.

After years of practice I also have a great understanding of the language of the small child, my own as well as  other peoples does this count?

[Katahu]

My whole entire family is Hispanic (Nicaragua) and my family is HUGE!!!!! So huge, in fact, that's it's impossible to keep them all in one small location. So, they had no choice but to spread all around the Western Hemisphere. lol

My dad used to travel so much around the world, as a business, that he learned a little bit of German, Saudi Arabian, Venezuelan, and nearly a dozen more other languages in nearly a dozen countries.

My Uncle is still in the Army and he used to be in Germany as well. I have an uncle who's an actual pilot (with an intrument rating) and used to be in cuba for some time.

I can go on with the list of all the other people in my family, but my fingers will get tired by the time I am even half way done. LOL

Yo hablo Ingles (cien porciento), un poco de Aleman, y todo de Espanol. Y si vo no me crees, salite de aqui y nunca me hablas. HAHAHAHAHAHA

I have learned a little German through that so-called internet dictionary. LOL

I do speak enough Spanish to get myself in or out of trouble, depending upon the situation, but not as much as I'd like to know.

As for German, I'm from a VERY German family (dad was born there), and I've heard German spoken at various family events, however I've never been able to pick it up.  (I've tried!)

For Paz, however, the question was posed "Which is easier, German, Spanish, or Italian?"

Spanish and Italian are very, very similar.  (Lot's of "idioms", as they say.)  German is completely different.  For me, German is much more difficult than Spanish.

I'd really love to learn Russian, to be honest.  There's just something about the language that fascinates me.

Rifle - with what you know about languages and many other subjects - I would say that you have a well rounded knowledge base - clever boy.

Now the question is - do you feel that you would classify yourself as a "Cunning Linguist"?

[Smoke2much]

If you speak more than one language, you are multi-lingial...

If you only speak one language, than are you lingual?

[ozzy72]

No Kevin.
1 language - mono-lingual
2 languages - bi-lingual
3+ languages - polyglot

This has been a long time description of myself, which I have related to many women........brings a smile to their face, every time !  :P  

[Smoke2much]

If being a cunning linguist does not bring a smile to her face you are doing it wrong.
