    Just out of curiosity, which languages do you guys speak fluently or near fluent? :slight_smile:

    (You can also include if you're currently studying any languages).

    English and Armenian, but sadly my English is better. =(

    I used to know a good amount of Arabic too but now i'm just restricted to cuss words. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I wanna learn Spanish and French and maybe Japanese someday lol.

    I love you for putting sign language on the list.
    I study (British) sign language on and off and I'm wanting to go to proper night classes if I can find the time somewhere
    I've studied French, Spanish, German, Latin and a tiny bit of Arabic but I'll never be fluent in any of them. Though I'll hopefully study Hebrew or classical Arabic at university.

    I speak Croatian and English (obviously) and I have Latin as a mandatory and Italian as an optional school subject.

    I used to study German, but I can't make up a simple sentence so that doesn't count.

    I might give up Italian next year, I don't really like it... it was the only optional subject available. :rolleyes:

    A little french. I can understand and read, but speaking and writing are a bit difficult. Oh and I can't spell worth a crap in french, so if you ask for an example, it WILL get ripped apart by native speakers :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    English is my native language, i have 5 years of french but am nowhere near fluent and half a year of spanish; i can listen and pretty much get the jist of what's being said but am not very good at sentence construction. I'd love to learn sign language.

    If you class northumbrian as a language (I think it's classed as a dialect) i'm fluent in that!

    English is my native language but I can speak french too, only think is I know quite a bit of french but when talking to someone (in french) it all falls apart and turns into a general mumble

    Well Spanish is my native tongue but after being in the US for so long English is now my dominate language. My Spanish is also getting rusty.
