How many languages do you speak or uderstand?

I speak Spanish, English and now i'm on 3rd year of Japanese in an Institute.

I understand Portuguese, but i can't speak it fluently.

Farsi, English, and I'm learning French.

English, French and Korean

I can speak/write/read Dutch and English fluently. I can read German pretty good, but haven't spoken it for years, so conversation is kinda rusty. I can read and speak French with some effort, though it's been years since I last did either ~_~ I can speak/understand Cantonese OK (not very good, but it ain't bad), can't read though.

And I can read (ancient) Greek and Latin, though it has been several years since I last translated texts. I wonder if I can still pull it off as fast and good as I used too ^_^; And these last months I have been trying to learn Japanese a bit, so I know some basics of that language. Probably going to study it at university after I finish my economics this year.

I am a native English speaker, I speak/read/etc. Japanese (well enough to live here) and I took three years of Mandarin Chinese and studied Spanish for two years.

I can speak (and write) without much problems: German and English (at leats I hope so lol). I'm also quite ok in French (not that much in writing, but I can read it very good). Well my mother tongue is Swiss German, if that counts as a language too At least it's one funny thing (which really hasn't much in common with normal German).

I can understand a little bit of Japanese, but can't read at all (except for some Hiragana which doens't help much -.-). And thanks to French and English it's also possible for me to read Spanish a little bit (but I can't follow conversations nor can I write it). But as that doesn't really counts since it's really only small knowedge, I'll stay with English, German and French

Catalan, Spanish and English.

English and Hungarian fluently, decent Japanese, and the basic sign language alphabet

Being able to pick out a few sentences of Chinese isn't shabby at all, given how challenging the language is. It's supposed to be one of the hardest on Earth.

Everyone knowing a lot of languages just goes to show that (1) manga, especially Tezuka manga, atract people who are interested in learning and studying other cultures, and (b) manga are a great way to work at other languages when your reading level isn't up to full fluency yet.

Oh I guess German or Swiss German can beat Dutch in being illogical lol (or at least is equal )...but I guess this depends on your mother tongue again.

I find finnish very difficult. And chinese as well. Japanese is rather easy to pronounce for me...but Chinese, I guess I'll never learn that. *_*
