Wow, so interesting to know that there are many multilingual teachers here 
I speak English and Russian fluently, and I speak English more often than Russian. I can understand a little bit of Spanish (just a liiiiitle bit lol) and just a little bit of Hebrew (I �m still a beginner ;) ). I studied German at high school and can understand short texts but can �t speak this lagnuage and I can read and translate some Latin, which I studied at the university.

My mother tongue is Spanish, and apart from English I also teach German. I can speak French and Italian as well. Learning foreign languages is very common in Argentina, remember we are a blend of different nationalities.

Hi!
I speak Croatian ( my mother tongue ) and most of the languages of ex-Yugoslavia ( Serbian,Bosnian ... they are very similar ). Besides English I speak French fluently ( I studied them but I don �t use French much ), and I can get by with my Italian.
I can communicate well with deaf people using sign language - it is recognized a a language although some people disagree... Next month I �m supposed to go Spain so I �m trying to learn some Spanish.Nice language...I wish I had more time....
Hugs;)))

Hi
Great! it is not easy to be a multilingual speaker. it takes time and needs great effort and practice. the latter is crucial.
I speak Moroccan Arabic which is a dialect, Standard Arabic, and English fluently and French to get by. I understand spanish.
is there anyone of you who speaks Arabic; I mean those whose mother tongue is not Arabic. |

Hello.
Nice to see that in this community there are a lot of polyglots... 
I speak fluently Slovenian (my mother tongue), Swedish, English and Serbo-Croatian (I was born in Slovenia which was the part of ex-Yugoslavia).
I learned French, German and Italian at high school and studied Polish, Chech and Russian for a year at a university, so I can understand and read them, but speaking them..not anymore.  I �d like to...

I speak Dutch fluently, teach English and therefore think I can speak it fluently ;-). I can speak French to get by and I used to speak it fluently but I haven �t been speaking it for ages . I studied Latin at school. I understand written Italian a bit aswell as German.

Strange combination ... Spanish (fluent), plus Dutch (used to be fluent, I don�t think so any more), plus Portuguese (to read). And virtually nothing of anything else...

Hi again,
I am also glad there are so many multi-linguists here, ;-). Arabic - hmmm I �d love to study Arabic ... as many other language, I love the sound of all the languages, their diversity... I am thoroughly fascinated with the SOUNDS of languages. It �s maybe because I can copy the sounds very well.
What does attract you in studying languages apart from their communicative importance and utility?
