Bad English is a very important skill in many parts of the world, and is distinct from English. You can be very good at English, yet totally fail to communicate in Bad English.

i mean, if the japanese you pick up from watching anime and dramas counts then i know a little of every scandinavian language, (except for finnish but i think that's mostly made up as a joke or to hide that all finns are telepaths or something)

Algunos de nosotros dominamos el castellano (español), ya sea por que es nuestro idioma nativo, o porque lo aprendimos viajando. Aún así, el inglés sigue siendo un buen método para que todos en este foro podamos comunicarnos.

>>33
no thats danish

>>33 seconded. If you know how to read a newspaper (or hold a conversation beyond "my name is ____ whar is the museum?") in the language of your choice, then you could say you "know" it.

>I think in at least American English they call it AOLchat

Well, about that AOLchat thing. I find it pretty useful for accomplishing the purpose.

> For 'bullshit' ones, ... Latin

What a crock of shit! Latin killed the Romans, yes, but that doesn't mean it's not a real language. Hey, if it has it's own allocation on ISO 609, it's a language.

I think he means that he only knows it a little bit, not well enough to translate a written text easily.

I can't believe only one person here speaks some Chinese. I'm fluent in English and pretty fluent, conversation-wise anyway, in Chinese (Cantonese to be exact, my Mandarin comprises of bu, ji, and dao :P).

I learned how to read quite abit of Kanji and Hangul from playing Japanese and Korean games for so many years. My Korean is much, much better than my Japanese, though. Lately as I moved from console to PC games, my Korean naturally got better

I also live in a dense hispanic population part of Texas now, so I can pick up Spanish fairly easy. Cajun language uses lots of French vocabulary and most of it is very similar to Spanish

これは本当にくそスレだな…
Really, who cares what language you speak?! I better see a fucking poll created, or else this thread was entirely in vain. Do you really care if some anonymous person knows French - a little whereas another anonymous person knows French - passable proficiency?
This thread would only be suitable on forums that require registration, and even then, it would still be shit.
Even "Residents of Needler High!" was more successful than this!
Even "How old are you?" was more successful and meaningful than this!

[Worst Thread Ever] How many languages do you speak? ver2 [SHAME]
I've taken the liberty of naming the next thread for you, once this one reaches 1004 posts in year 2008!
