spanish - native language
english - can understand it well, but not so fluent at speaking/writing
italian - same as english but I find it impossible to write/read
then why is your flag italian?
for the lulz?
UFF I don't know if his case it's the same but there are a lot of Tempers, almost the half of registered members that uses fake localizations.
I was born and now live in Argentina, but I had the Italian citizenship since child.
We always talked both spanish and italian with my parents. Thats why I can speak italian but not write/read it.

Guess I qualify to use the italian flag

I only speak English. Or more accurately, American English.

I took a year of French in 8th grade (decades ago), but I've forgotten most of it now. I only remember snippets....I can count to 10 in French, for example. I rem a couple phrases: Une jolie fille. (A pretty girl), Non parlay Francais (No speak French
tongue.gif
) a couple random words, but not enough to be useful. Certainly not enough to (for instance) play a game in French. I remember I used to be able to comprehend most of it when reading it, but I couldn't write it or comprehend when it was spoken to me....the words all jumbled together and I couldn't tell where one word ended and another began. I'd say I've completely forgotten at least 95% of what I learned in that class. But like I said, I know NO ONE who speaks that language personally, so it was a use-it-or-lose-it type of deal. Obviously, I lost it.

I did know a few people who's native language was French (in that class) and they said they could barely detect any accent when I spoke in that language. So I guess I would have been good at it if I would have continued taking the classes. Thing is, I actually WANTED to learn Spanish as there are more Spanish speaking people in my area....well, at the time there was anyway, but they stuck me in French and I kinda rebelled against that dirty trick. Since I knew NO ONE outside of school that spoke French, I didn't feel it was practical for me to learn a language I deemed useless to me, unlike Spanish, which would have been very useful. Stupid public school system......

I know a good amount of Spanish (mostly "Mexican Spanish" not "Spain Spanish"). Enough to be able to converse with people for the most part. I can understand about 80% of things said, it just takes me a while to respond (have to conjugate verbs in my head and stuff).

I speak "American English" as my primary language. I am also in the progress of learning Japanese (ONE DAY... one day.

Malay - Important and main language
English - Secondary language

Other language likes Chinese, Japanese etc... just very little but Google translate and Microsoft Bing Translator can help us for translating!

I only know English, and even with this single language i'm slowly getting worse at speaking it... i rarely talk (due to being a very solitary person) and it's been slowly destroying my pronunciation on many words, that and i've never been able to tell the difference between 'r' and 'w' in many words (for example i say "rock" as "wok"), i used to also say 'three' as 'free' but i've been able to teach myself out of that one.

So yeah i suck at talking in general

I personally know the following

English (Native Language)
Japanese (I remember very little of it from my Japanese Class in high-school, very little)
 
I'm double national from Portugal and Germany and can speak both native level.
Spanish i'm intermediate level can understand allot and reply allot but not perfectly
English - Almost as good as the 2 native languages i still need to grasp the many slang terms specially from the UK.

French - I can say several words and construct a few sentences and understand some stuff if spoken slowly
Italian - Can understand it if spoken slowly due to similarities with Portuguese and Spanish, however speaking is complicated since i always end up speaking Portuguese words when i should not

Spanish a little bit,learn it 2 years at school
i understand some word in japanese when i'am watching an anime without subtitle but i cannot read it and write it.

I'm living at Italy border.
Yup, helped me a lot in Paris (went there last summer). Yeah, that'd be awesome! Too bad I'm really far from the border.
Maybe if we actually get around to do that 'temp meeting in London...

I'm really surprised to see this many people on here knowing Italian

I thought nobody studied it except italians (since it's used only here and a few other places, unlike French and Spanish, for example)
