Well i speak, French, English, a few Spanish words .

Back in highschool our Spanish class teacher got mad at us all one day. She started telling us a 'joke':

"Hey want to hear a joke? What do you call a person who speaks three langauges?"

Someone said "tri-linguel"

She went on; "What do you call a person who speaks two languages?"

Someone answered "bi-linguel."

Next up was; "and what do you call a person who speaks one language?"

Someone said "mono-linguel." I knew where the joke was going and being the smartass that I am, I piped up and said "American?"
She then proceeded to say "That's right! And it's sad that you know that too!!" She then went on a tangent about how people in other countries are multi-linguel, etc.

I speak English mainly and I can decipher some Spanish thanks to the aforementioned class. [:D]

Dutch (doh). Other languages I can speak pretty fluently are French, English and Italian. German is my pain in the ass atm, and the language I really want to speak but which is kinda impossible is Japanese (or maybe Slovene).

wow wow hang on there, none of you americans can speak english, you all speak american.

you use the wrong words for everything and get most of the words backwards so you speak american not english.

I speak, English, German and French, im not a languages person.

"wow wow hang on there, none of you americans can speak english, you all speak american.

you use the wrong words for everything and get most of the words backwards so you speak american not english."


Gazag, with your lack of grammar skills I find it amusing that you put all Americans down for their English.

Start by capitalizing where needed, then feel free to think about stereotyping people.

I like English better, I like your accent[peakhill]. But I like Scottish the best, they really have a cool accent.[:D]

American English, Spanish, and a little bit of Italian. Took one year of Italian in middle school but then I moved to a school that didnt' offer it, so I'm in my third year of Spanish.

You speak portuguese not "brasilian".

Hang on *american* may be degraded english, but if anyone says *i speak american* then they are a retard, its still english, this is the english language, american is a dialect of english
