I'm ... fluent in English and somewhat good at French.


I can have a rudimentary conversation in at least 5 other languages, but I wouldn't say I speak them, I'd just say I remember a few lists of set phrases. I have a little trouble believing that you're fluent in 8 language MBC_Tiger, especially 'Maori' and 'African' since there are roughly 300 different African languages and either 2 or 3 Maori dialects, which are about as different as Mandarin or Cantonese, even though both are 'Chinese'

I can speak English, French, a bit of Spanish, and a tiny bit of Greek (hello, goodbye, good morning and good night!). That's it :(

I'd love to learn more languages..... :rolleyes:
