How many languages do you know?

English, French, learning (rather slowly) Japanese.

Oh, and do semi-languages (I have a few basic languages I made for older projects (these are not direct translations from English, but are based around rules of Grammar and such)) count? If so, I also have Terilecian, Alnarian, and Raelian.

English: Bye!
French: Au revoir
Japanese: Not there yet!
*Terilecian: Ricoduki
*Alnarian: Aboso
*Raelian: Dreklione

English, very little Spanish that I learned in high school (and forgot the rest when they handed me that magical piece of paper), and I'm attempting to teach myself Japanese.
 
^see his post -__-
f*cking school is killing me >.> I know dutch, english, french, latin/ancient greek and german. wannabe jap. I need to learn it I JUST NEED TO!! I'm such a ''Bakaa'' :p
 
The problem with this thread is that "know" is such a loosely defined word.

I can say "I am Bob" (my name is not Bob, for the record) in French. Does that mean I know French? No. So where does one draw the line between "knowing" and... not "knowing"?

hmmm...good point...I know english like I know how to breathe. I know French about as well as young child, and I know Japanese as well as hojimemashite, rusunohikari, and konichiwa (sp?). I used to know more Jap. but that was two years ago...
 
Well what I mean by "know" is that you know enough to hold a conversation with a person who can speak that fluently. Like if you learned spanish at school, I would say you know spanish if you can carry a good conversation with a spanish person and understand all they are saying. Sorry not to make that clear enough.
 
English is my first language. Mandarin was a first language but I haven't used it since I was like, 3 or 4 and I forgot a good portion of it. I'm trying to relearn that language. I'm working on learning Japanese, French, Italian, and Latin. Whether or not I actually manage to learn all those might be another issue, but I at least want to learn Mandarin again to speak with my mother and my children. I know about as much Japanese as an otaku (yes, shamefully I am otaku...) and I only have a basic understanding on French and Italian based on my knowledge of Latin... which isn't much either. ^^;

Oh yeah... and... *coughcough* Klingon... A little bit...
 
Eh, the ones that are still spoken-

English, German, Spanish, Norweigan, Swedish, Danish, Dutch, and Icelandic (most of them spoken not at expert level, but at a 'okay' level.)

And a couple that don't exist-

Old Norse, Elfish.
 
I know English and I chose to learn French for an A level.

I also know a tiny amount of Irish, and maybe a few words/sentences of Japanese.
 
English and some French due to school.

I'm quitting French class though because we learn next to nothing thanks to the pointless games we play that don't teach you a thing. I have a better chance of learning French online.
