    My first language is Norwegian. I can speak and understand English, Swedish and Danish as well. I do know some French und a little bit German. I would love to learn more languages like Arabic and Japanese.

    Completely bilingual (French and English) although i suck at writing french, i can understand it perfectly, even slang and complex verb tenses, but as i said, if you asked me to write down what they are saying, then im shit out of luck.

    I'm also taking spanish next year and hope to dabble in italien during college.

    english and pidgin. though some people don't consider pidgin an official kine language. but it is! it has a name (hawaiian creole english) and has it's own grammatical structure.

    English, obviously. Both the UK and American brand. And Spanish, but with a lot of Puerto Rican slang. A bit of Arabic, and a couple words in a few other languages.

    Only English unfortunately, but I did 8 years of Italian in Primary School (I remember little to nothing) and 2 and a half years of Indonesian at High School (I remember very little of it)

    Just out of interest to thos who speak more than one fluently, particularly those who speak a different language at home to what they speak at work/school...what language do you think in?...Like say if you were thinking about a problem you were having, do you do it in the one you speak at home, or at school/work?
