I know English, Tagalog, and Ilokano. Some Spanish, though not fluently. I would not count Spanish as a "known" language yet.

know nothing, learning 3. (Finnish, English, Swedish)

English and Russian are the only launguages I need to know, I mastered them both completly (not like when people say I can say "that phrase" or "this phrase" on "some" language and think they know it). I used to know Ukrainan but since I moved to America 3 years ago I completly forgot it and it just faded it away from me.

I only know English. I'm "trying" to learn French, because I'll have to move if I don't.

Why do you consider French ***? I had greatly lowered my expectations on you.

I speak three fluently: Russian, English, and German.

I did study Ancient Greek and a bit of Latin in college though.

MattVortex · **Posted:** March 22nd, 2007, 2:20 pm

I can only speak English confidently. I did learn a little french and some german in school, but I'm a bit rubbish at those.

I would like to learn Esperanto. At the moment I speak one word of that. Its supposed to be perfect, though - no irregularities or anything.

By 8 do you mean know or learning?

Mikhail · **Posted:** March 22nd, 2007, 4:21 pm

Personally I think Russian/Ukrainian is almost the same but words sound different and write in different way.
