So, what other languages do you speak/ understand?

[alexpolistigers]

Just to get the ball rolling in a language direction in here!

I am a native English speaker, fluent to native speaker level in Greek, proficient in Italian, French, also speak Welsh and understand a fair amount of German.

Grew up speaking Polish and PJM (Polish sign language), although because none of my foster parents were deaf, PJM got a lot of weaker. Also am fluent in BSL and English, and am proficient in French.

Hello other linguists this topic is exciting! Native speaker of English, fluent in German and Italian, fairly competent in French.

Oooh!

I'm a native speaker of English, conversational French (but rusty now) and conversational Japanese (even rustier). I need to get refreshing them so I can say I can speak them again!

Native English, did French and Spanish at university, have A level German and lived in Italy for the past 20 yrs.

So English and Italian basically

Native English, French and Spanish at university. Rusty O-levels in German and Latin. I'm also just generally interested in language and linguistics, and if I did my time again, I probably would have liked to have done some linguistics at uni.

Native English, speak Spanish and Mandarin but am out of practice on both of those and have a smattering of French and Arabic. I'm with you Mardy, I'd have liked to have done more with linguistics.

Native speaker of English, speak and write fairly good German (lived here for twenty years and a translator by trade), pathetic school French (but DD1, who has just come back from France, has instituted a French-only Sunday tea), even more dodgy Italian.

I have a background in English language teaching, before the translation, and DH has a masters in Applied Linguistics and has - get this - just published his first article. Admittedly in a teensy tiny obscure linguistics journal.

Native English but proficient in BSL. Very basic French but it gets better when I'm using it.

Competent in French, can hold my own at a party, but hate having to write it.

Just English. But I read Linguistics at Uni and got heartily fed up with having to explain that despite studying it, I couldn't speak any other language, nor did I want to!

I'm a native speaker of English and have native-level proficiency in French. I can speak Italian and Spanish quite well when I am immersed and German very badly.
