As some might remember, I attempted to write a French text. I butcher the Hebrew language as well...perhaps I should stick with English alone.

Je parle un peu de francais Québécois, c'est pratiquement nécessaire si tu veut vivre en Canada, car près d'un moitié du population le parle comme première langue.
I speak English as my first language, and for anyone who cares or knows the difference, I believe it to be closer to proper British English rather than American.
I also know the important phrases in Spanish, like "tequila por favor." :P

Other than French and English, I think Japanese is my favorite language. It sounds wonderful, and I love the complexity of it.

I'm going to study Translation at University next year! I love languages! I speak Spanish (it's my mother tongue), English (evidently), a little French and Japanese. I have also taken some months of German, which I'm going to continue soon. At school I also study ancient Greek and Latin (though I'm not able to actually speak them -_-U)

I originally wanted to become a french teacher and thus can speak french enough (Je parle assez de francais, ma reve d'etre une francophone est presque vrai!) and I'm going to learn German if it's the last fucking thing I do on earth. It's "Was Zahlt".

I'm learning Japanese and Latin. This summer, I will hopefully begin learning Mandarin Chinese (and maybe another language with my mother.) Next year I'm supposedly beginning French.

I can speak a very small amount of Japanese but I really need to go back and take some more courses in the language. I have always been just a little Japan obsessed

I know this doesn't count for me. But my grandfather could speak Spanish (native tounge), English, Japanese, French, German, Latin and two other languages all fluently.

Dark Chii, si tu parles français couramment, pourquoi n'y a-t'il pas de textes en français par toi? Hein? Tu n'as aucune excuse!
Ophelia, Russia was beautiful, at least what I remember of it. I lived there from ages 3 to 8 and spoke Russian with a native accent. Now it's worn off and my grammar is sadly decadent.
Please, no more Frenchie jokes. Us Français could take offense...
Oh, and ghettogoth69, "Je suis une fille Gothique sexy qui aime le sexe rugueux." is not a well-written phrase. For your benefit, it is rewritten below.
"Je suis une gothique sexy qui aime le sexe sauvage et torride."
Or
"Je suis une gothique sexy qui aime faire l'amour de façon passionnée et torride."Rugueux means rough as in "a rough texture", not rough as in "we had rough sex until the early hours of the morning"

I beat you on that one Renatus: My grandfather speaks fourteen different languages.
I'm working on a fifth myself; mandarin.

Can't go wrong with Latin, it's good if you want to learn languages like spanish too.

I'm writing the ones I remember...some of them are dialects
-Hindi
-Afrikaans
-Italian
-German
-French
-English
-Scottish Gaelic
-Pashtun
-Provencal
-Latin
-Greek
-Thai
-Burmese
And a few more that I don't remember. He learns languages to keep his mind limber. He learnt most of them a while back (he has lived in England, Scotland, India, Belgium, the South of France, Thailand and Burma) but he picked up others whilst traveling around.
