Bilingual, or multilingual?

I'm still struggling with English, anyone speak two, or more languages?

Does halflingual count?

Well, that could depend, which half?

English and bad English.

Cunnilinguist here...

No thanks, I'm straight.

Texan and English, although my Texan is a little rusty.

I speak both kinds...American and English.

English and Afrikaans, although my Afrikaans is getting a little rusty.

Was directed at the OP

I too speak English and Afrikaans however my reading and writing of Afrikaans is better then my spoken Afrikaans for the same reason as Mr. Badger

I send and receive written letters emails texts etc many times a day from family and friends in Africa. Just not as frequently a spoken conversation

I picked up enough German to know when Ready was talking about me.

Turns out, it was pretty often...

I used to be able to speak and understand street Farsi, Pashto and Arabic and was semi-fluent in French. My Dad spoke 9 languages, all with a Colorado accent. Today I struggle w/ english, especially as used on the internet.

Ja wohl.

English and a little Mandarin Chinese. Used to be better but not many folks to practice with around here. My grandson is 2 years 8 months and speaks English and Russian. His Mother is from the Ukraine and only speaks to him in Russian, so he is a native speaker in both. Now his day care has him counting to 20 in Spanish, so who knows. His Mamma speaks that too (she is fluent in 6 languages)

Ich auch.

I can hold my own with French, so long as they don't talk too fast.

Muy grande venado
mucho cerveza
banjo

The most important words in the Spanish vocabulary.

Recently, at the Publix check out in Miami, the cashier was just chattering away at me in Spanish. I looked at her and said "Mam, I don't habla a word of that chit".
She was fairly subdued after that exchange. No, I'm not bilingual at all, and have no intentions of ever being so.

Lucky for most of us, make that some of us, in North America, English is the language of business.

I'll tip my cap to anyone swift enough to learn a second tongue. Even if it is a stark necessity.

English first. Spanish second...I hold my own with it.

I grew up in a Gulf, Carib, and Atlantic / Pacific tramp freighter environment,....DIDN"T have much choice about becoming reason ably fluent in Español.

Funny,....these days I read about how cool the diving or fishing is here and there,.....at these plastic resorts and scam operations.

Sorry you missed diving the coast of British Honduras, Costa Rica, Grand Cayman, Jamaica, Hispañola, ....and others, well over 50 years ago, boys,....WHATEVER lingo you favor, or loathe.....cuz' it's now GONE, and ain't comin' back

A mi me' gusta mas recordir esos tiempos, amigos.

We all speak more than you know......Hallelujah is the same in all languages THAT have the word in their language!....so now, you can say that you speak most languages in the world...sometimes the "H" is dropped.

I know enough German and French to communicate. Fluent? No, don't get enough practice.

fixed. Cerveza is a feminine noun, as in muchA serveza..

Muy importante, Señor!

Mi gusta cervesa. Tu? Nada!

Language police, GUSTA...

3... English, Spanish, and Cussin' in Cowboy.

I knew that. Typo in this case. However, that is close to maxing out my Spanish.

Same here Hatati

I used to be pretty fair with the Muskoegean Mobilian dialect. But ya don't use it, ya loose it.

Basic german as a survival skill with the inlaws. Mother in law is German, whole family is fluent. Father in law is a 25 year air force vet, spent many years stationed in Germany, My wife lived in Germany and Holland most of her childhood, they lived off base, went to German schools.

All my inlaws speak to each other is German, so understanding it is helpful :-)

1st Spanish, 2nd English (British and American). I could speak French in high school. I can read and make sense of portuguese if spoken slowly.

Me esposa es muy mucho enuohada.

I don't spell in Mexican too good!!!

English either!!

I always thought that bilingual had something to do with the location of a hernia.

Which is when?

When I was small, I thought that people who spoke something other than English must think in English, then translate it to another language in their heads before speaking. Likewise, when hearing, I assumed that they had to translate it into English before it made sense.

English and Redneck.
