How many languages do you speak fluently?
Total votes: 636
I am only truly fluent at English. Cantonese is my native language, but I can barely speak much with it, and I can't even read or write Chinese characters to even consider myself fluent.
Well I speak English fluently, then also Cantonese fluently cause my parents are Chinese and they make me speak in it at home. I speak some Mandarin, some Japanese and Korean (Just cuz), Spanish for school (3rd - 7th grades) and gonna learn Latin for 8th grade
cantonese, english and mandarin
French is my native language, i can speak english fluently. Also i can speak a little of german and spanish, i'm still learning those.
English, Filipino, and bits of Indonesian and Japanese.
Tagalog, English, also fluent in Japanese, a bit of Spanish ( some tagalog words came from Spanish)
i wanna learn a bit of Bahasa and Russian (if i have a chance)
Edit: if anyone speaking tagalog, you know the word how to swear.

I can speak 3 languages like a boss.. Malay (Malay - native), Chinese (Malaysian Mandarin - learnt since kindergarten) and English (English - learnt since primary school)
Now, I want to seriously learn Japanese, I didn't attend formal Japanese language learning classes yet..
- Indonesian
So, currently I can speak 4 languages:
- Malay (native)
- Mandarin Chinese //Malaysian-Singaporean variant of Mandarin (near-native)
- English (learnt since primary school)
- Indonesian (learnt since last year, because many of online friends are Indonesians nowadays)
Still learning:
- Japanese (since few years ago, still didn't attend real classes but trying to learn online, classes are expensive)
Planned to learn:
- Tagalog (because Filipin's TV series is broadcasted everyday here and I don't want to really depends on the Malay subtitle)
- Cantonese Chinese (because some of my friends doesn't understand Mandarin, I can understand Cantonese but don't know to speak it yet)

English

However, I want to learn both Spanish and Japanese, cause both languages are awesome <3

Mainly Bahasa Indonesia since its my native language. Speak English when needed/talking to some of my friends, and (a little) Javanese when talking to my big family :p
Somehow I want to improve my local dialect (Javanese) to make me easier talking/understanding what local people are saying

Otherwise I'm sadly monolingual... D:

I probably couldn't converse anything in Spanish except something very basic.... And I can only translate a few things from Spanish to English when I see billboards and instructions in Spanish in Philadelphia and on manuals...

Cantonese, English, and some Japanese?
I could read hiragana and pronounce it, (i can read some kanji since I am Chinese, and some "English") but the grammar and kanji pronunciation is too difficult (translating hiragana to english is hard...)

The only language I'm fluent in is English. I dropped French in high school when I was picking my GCSEs because it bored the heck out of me. But I did take up Japanese, which I've been learning (slowly) for 9 months. I'm definitely not fluent though, no way.
English and Russian
Indonesian

Sundanese

English + Native Language and its derivative(s) (Filipino-Tagalog-Ilocano)

OT: English, Spanglish, Tagalog, Korean (albeit I suck ass at it lol)
B. Indonesia (my native), Sundanesse (my almost native), English (my self talk native ok), Javanesse (i know little things but not my normal language).
That's Katakana. Katakana is used for loanwords, slang etc. Hiragana is used only for real Japanese words. Kanji is in higher level than hiragana and it can be anything (I did read Kanji which provided loanwords furigana as the reading to the right of it in Japanese manga).Khelly wrote:

Update:
1. Malaysian (still, as it's my mother tongue)
2. Mandarin (still, because I speak and use it since kindergarten)
3. English (still, well I'm using English to write this)
4. Japanese (I think it's safe to include this now, I can speak it albeit not very fluent)
Next language that I want to learn:
- Cantonese (some of my friends doesn't really understand Mandarin because they are native in Cantonese and we end up speaking Malaysian, which they are not fluent in)
- Indonesian (neighbouring language, trust me most of Malaysians doesn't really understand Indonesian, we're depending on the Malaysian subtitles when watching Indonesian dramas)
