How many languages do you have a working knowledge of (not expert fluency)? And what are they?
Just English and French for me. (Chinese? heh. I can cuss and order food in an accent that's all wrong.)
I speak english and can understand french and spanish but not very good at speaking it.
English, some spanish words and of course Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian....hahaha totally same languages in three different countries; Slovenian and Macedonian are slightly different than my language but pretty the same.
I come from a german-hungarian family right off the boat so I do know some german

I really love languages but suck at sticking to 'em long enough to really learn. I have CD/books on Hindi and Mandarin that I'm gonna tackle one of these days I'm sure.

I still haven't mastered the English language fully.
I used to do pretty well with French...but have lost most of it. I understand more than I can speak.
Your English is muchos goodly Michel.....don't you worry.
Yeah my friends manager in Taiwan thinks he knows English. I've talked to him somehow on MSN he says sentences like "Manager I am" but he's completely clueless apparently in Mandarin he boasts about how good his English is. lol
Oh forgot "European" as a language. An ex friend said when I'd spell a word 'colour' or 'neighbourhood' or 'whilst'. You know traitor language that's NOT AMERICAN, MUST SPEAK AMERICAN. As he'd tell me. lol
I know the language of Epic. One of my best friends always goes "Too profound SD, keep it simple" lol
Speaking of language, I heard on tele yesterday that the French language is merging with English. And they were going to change the dictionary or something like that.
For example, instead of saying autocollant, the French can say sticker.
Did you hear about this too, Michel?
Indeed he bosses 20 somethings around, pisses my friend off. I tried talking to him a couple days ago about the typhoon that went through Taiwan. He said "?" I had to go "storm, big, storm, rain, flooding, 19 people dead, Taiwan".
