    Who here is bilingual or learning another language?
    I'm trimonolingual
    I know English gibberish, and nigglish. I took French for 3 years, don't remember much of it, but I'm learning Mandarin now.

    I speak C++ almost more fluently than English...

    I'd taken up Japanese on my free time while I was in grade school, but once I started college I didn't have that free time. I still know all the kana, some basic kanji, and a fair amount of grammar though.

    I speak English Afrikaans, and a little bit of isiXhosa (Took that for four years and then dropped it)

    I also decided to try taking up Swedish for the heck of it, but that's proving difficult trying to learn it on my own

    So i do speak German (wow!) and i had english for 9 years in school and i had Latin for 4 or 5 years, not really sure atm. And i learned italian for 3 years.

    So yeah... 4 languages, but Latin doesnt really count, since you dont learn how to speak it, you just learn how to translate... and thats hard enough.

    And dont forget bavarian.... :Trollestia:

    Well, there's my mother language, English and a hint of Danish. And I suppose I can understand Faroese a little bit.

    Funny thing is, if I grew up with my dad, who's from Cameroon, I'd know French, Pidgin, and some Cameroonian dialects

    I can speak a bit of spanish, but I never really do because it annoys me. I just took 3 years of spanish in high school because it was easy.

    Well, there's English, of course. Then, in order of fluency; German, Spanish and a teeny bit of Japanese. We're talking just about able to introduce myself and apologise for things in Japanese while I can probably explain where I live on top of that if your a Spanish speaker. German's the best you can get out of me bilingually.

    Although, if we're counting programming languages, then Java, HTML (sort of (people get picky about if it really is a 'language')), CSS, VB.net, SQL and a little bit of Prolog. Just about. My strongest is Java. So far, anyway.

    I can speak English well enough. I also have a GCSE in Gujarati and French, although I've forgotten how to speak both of them.

    I would say for sure that HTML is a language. however not a "programming language" as some people say it is.

    For programming I know all the C's (C++, C, C#), MASM, NASM, VB.

    Know HTML, javascript and GML. Know some Powershell, and the basics of CSS. Learning Python.

    And If we mean that other kind'a "language", I used to know a little french. I only know a few words now. I'm pretty good at English. :derpe:

    It's a markup language. The pickiness is about whether it's a Programming language, which there should be no pickiness about, as it's not. I guess people just get confused.

    I know a bit of several languages - German, Spanish, French, Russian, Polish, Japanese and Yiddish - and my native English of course. However, as I don't keep up with any of them, I've probably forgotten more than I've learned.

    Oh, and I used to be fluent in Basic - about thirty-five years ago. Should learn something more modern, I suppose.
