[GIJANE]

I know french and English, I'm fully bilingual, we were raised in french up to a certain grade (i don't remember which) then my dad got posted and there were no french schools in the area so it was English after that, my parents speak french and we all speak it when we visit.

Modern Standard Arabic - Can read and write a lot better than i can speak it, I still have a lot to learn on this one though.

[muskrat89]

English - language of choice

French - used to be functional, but haven't used it in 10 years or so

Spanish - barely functional, but have learned quite a bit since I moved to Arizona

 

[Lexi]

English and Ukrainian and a wee bit of French. 

 

[Island Ryhno]

Alas Danjanou, unless those sailors looked like Anna K they're not for me. I did however throw lot's of em out of the bars on George. So you used to be fluent in JackyTar eh, youse must like she den'. And Souther Shore, jeez your either a hockey playing Sullivan or a nobody out that way, right on.

[swanita]

Only English, & quite fluent in the language of "cursing".

[ReadyAyeReady]

English, French, Hungarian (Both parents are from there, grew up speaking it in the house) and a smattering of German

 

[kas]

English: mother tongue
German: started studying it in high school, then lived in Germany, then continued studying it in university

I've also taken enough French and Latin to have a decent understanding of the grammar and basic vocabulary, but never had enough practice opportunities (for French anyways ) to gain any decent level of proficiency.

 

[Korus]

English is my first language, learnt Polish from my parents, and I can hold a conversation in that language, as well as read. French, I can get by if I need to, and I can read if you give me time.

 

[winchable]

I picked out 2,
English and I'm pretty functional in Arabic nowdays though don't ask me to "say something cool in Arabic" and I'm working on my Arabic calligraphy art which is coming along quite nicely.


Now for languages that I can understand but can't speak.

Scouse, Cockney, Brummey....silly scouse pants. ;D
