How many languages?
 
Hello everyone!

Just wanted to ask you how many languages you speak besides your mother tongue and English?

Do you mean fluent or to just get by?
I speak 2 languages fluently and 3 more just to get by!
I read 3 languages fluently though.

Besides my mother tongue and English, I only speak German and French to get by though I  understand what people say most of the times (mainly French). It �s also easy for the Portuguese to understand Spanish and even to speak it even though we may not have learned it at school, which is my case.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Hi!

Of course I also speak Portuguese fluently (not very often, though). I started leaning Greek but had to stop because I didn�t have enough time to study (and it�s really hard). I�d love to learn Russian (any volunteer to teach me?)�
