Apart from your own native language, what language are you most fluent in?

[Spinneret]

I would say French

 

[TippyThomas]

Pennsylvania Dutch.

American Sign Language. I can speak enough French to get by, but not well.

French

Today none. I took 5 1/2 years of High School level Spanish. They used to let you start High School level foreign languages here in 7th grade. Graduated in 1975. Haven't used it since, and for all practical purposes, lost all knowledge of it. In College I took a travel class to West and East Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia. Businessman we met on a train from Austria didn't understand why Americans bothered with learning a foreign language. As he put it..."your already speak English, the International language". He did business all over Europe and ALL his business deals were done in English.

Klingon. Kaplah!!!

 

[Meriweather]

none....fluently

 

[CdnCarrie]

French is required course here up to a certain age. So a bit of French. Not fluent.

 

[Pea-n-Me]

I use Spanish a lot on my job. I took French in HS - big mistake. I did take Spanish in college but I’ve learned it more on the job than in school.

 

[lynxstch]

ASL and French

 

[PollyannaMom]

I would say French

So would I, but for me it's more "least incompetent" than "most fluent"

 

[Moliphino]

I know the most Spanish and am the most comfortable with it, but I'm definitely not fluent.

 

[Neapolitan Ice Cream]

Nonsense German.

Seriously French, then German, then Spanish, finally Italian.

 

[Colleen27]

I'm probably least incompetent - I like that descriptor! - in Japanese, though my Irish is catching up. I have just a few words of French and Spanish, mostly related to basic travel needs/communication, but Japanese and Irish are the only two languages I've spent any real time practicing.

 

[DodgerGirl]

When I was a little girl my mother tried to teach me Spanish and I freaked out because I really wasn't interested in learning languages but my grandmother told my mom to teach Spanish to me because she wanted to show my grandmother how I could speak Spanish and so I got some Spanish language lesson PC games and within minutes I mastered Spanish quickly and when I visited Grandma she was shocked at how well my Spanish was when I talked to her. I also can do dialects pretty well and I mastered British English in a flash too. But the two languages I'd love to master would be French and Swedish with German and Italian a close third and forth

French, then Spanish, then Russian. Working on Greek. Tried a bit of Irish when I was there. Still trying to grasp that one. Not easy. I started learning bits of Japanese while watching a Japanese reality show that I loved, but then I stopped watching and now I’m trying to learn the current teenager lingo.
