I learn Spanish, Mandarin, Latin and Ancient Greek at school; and I want to learn Japanese and Russian as well. I also have an Albanian Kosovan father, but I currently know about 7 words in Albanian.

This troper wants to be a linguist when she grows up (currently in 10th grade). My Spanish is shaky and my French is basic, but I'm only in Spanish 3 and French 2 so I have a long way to go. I actually ranked 18th in the nation for my level in French, so things could be looking up. I also have German and Russian textbooks lying around that are begging to be put to use. I taught myself Cyrillic and basic verb conjugations in Russian and I taught myself present and both past tenses in German, but laziness and ADD struck and I never really achieved any proficiency in them.

This troper has some prior experience with German, Spanish, Russian and Japanese outside of his current college setting. I fully intend to become fluent in at least three of them, in addition to my native English.

This troper's mother tongue ''was'' Hindi, but forgot it when learning English. He then tried relearning it (mixed success). Now he is learning Japanese, Latin, and is trying to learn other languages, even create a conlang....

This troper's mother language is Greek, with VERY good skill in English and fluency in German and is currently learning Japanese. His plans include Russian and Latin.

This troper speaks English natively, and is fluent in Japanese. If nothing else, he wants to improve his horrendous Spanish.

Veritas, Justitia, Libertas, Amor aequo preto et ovum durmum excotum!

This troper speaks English natively, was fluent but is now rusty in Mexican Spanish, has a small amount of practice in Castillian Spanish and some in German, is practicing French and Japanese (but really needs a class to keep focused), and understands much but speaks very little of Italian (and half of what the troper does speak is Sicilian or Americanized Italian). The knowledge is there to puzzle out most Latin and some Greek, and the troper can speak YiddishAsASecondLanguage but not very much. In short, the troper could be described as a jack (or 3/6/7/other low-to-middling numbers) of many languages, an ace in one (unless you count SeparatedByACommonLanguage, in which case the troper is an ace in two or three).

ThisTroper also aims to be a JackOfAllTrades CunningLinguist, but is also a RidiculousProcrastinator. Among them he speaks English, French, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Russian and Arabic, most of them badly. He also wants to learn German, Japanese, Hindi/Urdu and Portuguese ... eventually.

This Tropette's native language is Finnish, but I also speak English, Swedish (being my country's second official language) and German. And oh boy, they are nothing but a start, I'm waiting for my French and Japanese classes to start next fall. And if I have enough time in the middle of all that, I guess I'll still enroll myself to Spanish class.

This troper speaks American English natively and knows decent Mexican Spanish (a few years of not studying have made me rusty). In addition to those, I'm slowly learning Italian, German and Portuguese, with bits and pieces of French that I've randomly picked up thrown in for good measure. When out of the country, I tend to find myself speaking some hybridized bastard language I generally call "Spanglitalian." Cue very confused looks from Mexican tour guides and other foreign tourists.

Fluent in English, Swedish, and Icelandic, passable in Basque, German, Spanish, and French, and I know enough to read and get by in Russian, Finnish, and Hebrew.

Least impressive of this whole page, I know Spanish and English... I can however, understand (if spoken slowly) French, Italian and Portuguese :).

My native languange is American English, but since I grew up in a ghetto I have native-level fluency in Mexican Spanish as well. I'm fluent in Standard Japanese and Mandarin Chinese too, but not at the native-level. And I'm passable in French and German thanks to high school courses. Being a blue-eyed blonde, I love the looks I get on campus from passers-by when they see me in the cafeteria, chatting in Mandarin with my friends Shu Yi, Dong Cheng, and Xia Lan (Taiwanese exchange students).

I may only speak English fluently, but I have a tongue ala Gene Simmons.

British Born Chinese troper speaks English and Mandarin as first languages, moved to Spain as a child (now fluent in Spanish) and later began taking Latin and French at school. I'm also self-taught in Romanian just because I like the way the language sounds.

This troper's Arabic-speaking ability is barely enough for an average everyday conversation, but amusingly enough, he's better than a friend who is of Syrian descent.

This troper is fluent in German, Japanese, and Spanish, and knows a smattering of Brazilian Portuguese from a ''Portuguese for Spanish Speakers'' class he took in grad school. All these languages he learned in school (Spanish: started in junior high; Japanese: started as an undergrad; German: picked up in grad school), since his entire family (save him) is monolingual in English. Plus he's been mistaken for a Spaniard ('''in Spain!''') and a Japanese (even though he's whiter than sour cream) because of his language abilities.

This Tropers mother-tongue is Turkish but I live in Denmark and grew up with both Danish (though I live near Sweden and... Yeah you get the idea...), Turkish (some Turkish-Kurdish to that from my dad), English (from my step mother who didn't speak danish and school), French (again from my stepmother), German(5 years in school) and Spanish (limited because I only had it for 3 years on A-level). Sounds good? I can honestly say that my lingual abilities are completely useless. Cheers.

This troper is currently fluent in Faroese, Danish and English, and has been learning German for a year. She understands Swedish and Norwegian fairly well, due to them being mutually intelligible with Danish, and she understands written Icelandic fairly well too. She's extremely interested in linguistics and is currently trying to learn Russian.
