    I've found myself in a very gallic mood, I didn't realise my French teacher had rubbed anything off on me until ce soir, but oui, je suis un linguiste.

    What languages can you converse in, good members of AH?

    I'm terrible at languages unless I'm in an area that uses the actual language. I can speak Java better than Irish.

    A bit of French, a bit of German, a bit of Swiss German & more Russian swear words than you can shake a stick at.

    I can order a beer in 6 or 7 others.

    Mine swanned off to Italy with a fancy man, the day before she left, I wrote 'Come sta bambino?' on the blackboard. This was in the days before google translate or even the internet, I am extremely proud of that interlude.

    Je comprends le français quand il est parlé lentement, mais je ne le parle pas très bien. Si je suis ivre, alors mon français est excellent.

    I have a friend who's fluent in five languages and conversational in two more. Oddly enough he's tried learning Irish and says it's the toughest language he's encountered! :D

    My English is fluent, my Irish is ok, my French is poor and my everything else is hopeless. I'm learning Spanish, German and Danish with Duolingo though, so I can speak very basic sentences in those languages. I also know a tiny bit of Mandarin (I can say hello, goodbye, thank you, excuse me, the days of the week, the months of the year and I can count to ten....I can also say "Garfield" and "Angry Birds"!) and I know a handful of sentences in Icelandic.

    I'd love to be properly fluent in another language someday.

    Can survive in French, actually pretty decent at Spanish. I can just about get by here in Taiwan with my comical Chinese skills.

    I've tried several times (including right now) to learn Irish and can never get past the pronunciation chapter.
