        English is first language obviously, I can read French and Spanish and get a rough idea of what's going on... I'm hard pressed to speak both but writing is slightly easier. I find Latin harder. I can just about get the jist of German but reading and writing isn't going to happen. My Hebrew is extremely rusty, and I'm trying to teach myself Sanskrit with very limited success.

            What, are people incapable of learning two languages at once?
            too complicated for the poll.

            Donc, je ne suis pas certain le correct numbre des langues que je (scratches head for how to say should) repondre a ton question. (gad i mangled that and i know it)
            Donc, je ne sais pas le nombre correct de langues que je doive donner pour repondre a votre question.

                By your definition, I cannot count Mandarin or Cantonese because I have am almost illiterate in those languages, but those are the languages I speak best besides English. On the other hand, I am on the borderline for Spanish, French, and Italian because of the writing commentary part. So, anywhere from 1 to 4, but I think of myself as being 5.

                    English is the only language I honestly, fluently speak. I do however know Spanish, French, and Hebrew via classes taken.

                      who else voted 5? Anyway, I probably should have voted something less
                      1+ 0.5 * 5 = 3.5

                        Deutsch, english, un peu de francais y un poco español (estoy aprendiendo).

                        So that makes 3 languages according to point 1,2 and 4 and a half because I don't really trust my french anymore.

                          2.5

                          French qnd English wothout significaqnt problems

                          German with some effort. I did write my dissertation in German, but I still have trouble expressing myself clearly and without hesitation in German, hence the 0.5 for that language.

                              Very strong accent, but I can listen and be understood without problems (at least that's what I think. Ask Boris, Drogue and DanS for confirmation )

                                I am decent in Russian and awesome in English.

                                However, I have also forgotten my good Latvian, so I am not sure whether I am 2 or 2.5 by the rules.
