Well for me I speak/read in English. This helps me in life to play video games, read books, and communicate with other fellows, I learned this AWESOME language when I was 4-5(lol don't call me stupid for learning it at an old age). Well I use English for everything. I knew how to read Hebrew(learned when I was 12-13) I never knew how to speak in it. I now can't read for shit in Hebrew I forgot everything... I know how to speak in Russian(learned it when I was 2) I only use it at home to speak to my parents and my relatives(no video game is ever in russian) I learned how to read in Russian when I was 14(yep this year). I took russian class for Foreign language this year because I already knew how to speak in it but not read in it. I didn't take spanish because I suck at it major balls I took it last year.... So in all things:

English
Russian

Don't call my stupid because I learned English when I was 4-5... I also understand Ukrainian if they speak is slowly.

English, Uzbek (in Russian , and Latin alphabet), and bit of French in written.
How do you not know how to speak in Russian? The teachers in Uzbekistan teach in Russian...

And Russian is not a alphabet. I think you mean Cyrillic.

American English, British English, Some Caribbean Dialects and a fair amount of Spanish and a little Japanese.

I understand Spanish perfectly (being a native of Mexico) but have some difficulty forming sentences in Spanish, orally or in writing. Its weird.

I took 3 years of French in high school, so I can understand some of it and write it too.

Being multilingual is a big benefit even if you don't travel because you can understand music and other media that is not in your language.

I'm very fluent in English since I grew up in the States. I also can speak Chinese fluently by am mostly illiterate (I only know up to a first-graders level for reading and writing).
Took three years of French in high school but I suppose I forgot everything.

Most people don't know what Cyrillic is so it is easier for everyone. Also, I left the country when I was like 10 years old. My parents taught me how to speak the language and write it.

English! Know very little French and .00001% Chinese (chinese restaurant near where i live, chinese owners, I'm a regular so yeah o_o)

Uncle came from California and taught me at age 10, and i was interested so i studied a lot. I regret not learning more languages. =(

Knowing English, I can play VG's without waiting the Spanish version to come out though I wish I knew enough Japanese to watch anime/non-export games from Japan. ;O

English Pros:

Tourists (Springs Breakers) come and my manager pays me a bit more for translating
VG's

    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol
