I've been looking through a lot of topics here on Salsa Forums, and have noticed that there're many people from non-English speaking countries, which made me wonder how many languages do all you guys speak. As for me, my mothertongue is Russian, also I speak English, German, French and Dutch. So, 4 foreign languages and Russian - 5 in common. And how many languages and which ones do you speak?
 
I'm only able to speak german and english, but I try to find some time to learn at least a bit of spanish.
 
I guess 4 on my end .. English, Japanese, Yoruba and Pidgin English. I wish I knew spanish because of all the salsa I listen to ...
 
I speak good Swedish, English, Finnish, German and Spanish, and feeble French. Moreover, I can speak English with an Italian accent (well, sort of), and Swedish with a Finnish or Turkish accent ;) .

Do you guys know any salsa forums in other languages, like German or Spanish? Well, I know there's a Swedish one...
 
Fluent German, English and Spanish, some French and little Italian.
And I learnt Latin in high school for many years, I wouldn't say I can speak it though.
Salvete!

Is there any place where people really speak Latin? Or should we have new thread in Latin? ;)

Apparently there is a small community of Latin speakers in the Dolomites (Northern Italy).
 
English.







A tiny bit of French. I can understand what most conversations are about.
A even tinier bit of German.
A few words of Spanish and Hebrew.
A couple of words of Arabic.

Want to learn more Spanish, would be nice to brush up my French to conversational level, and Mandarin would be wonderful. Just a bit to busy to do anything other than try and learn Spanish by osmosis.
 
Fluent in Dutch and English, semi-fluent in Spanish and Dutch Sign Language (though I guess I don't speak that, but sign it), I can get by in German, understand quite a bit of French and Italian and am currently working on Papiamentu. I just love languages...
 
Having grown up here in Montreal I learned French as my mother tongue with English after grade 3. I can speak it alright, but have to be very careful when writing in it. With my parents being Greek-Canadian and Japanese-Canadian I grew up listening to those two languages, that I can understand and speak, but I am unable to read or write with any proficiency. (Different alphabets, and my parents wanted me to grow up Canadian, withouth the immigrant mentality.)
Thanks to my husband, who is Peruvian, I can now speak, read and sing Spanish, especially when dancing salsa.
 
I speak Dutch, English and German. And hopefully soon a little Spanish too. I'm going to Malaga (Spain) to study Spanish for a few weeks!! :lol:
