Page 1 of POLL: How many languages do you understand?

Gujarati and Arabic at home, English, Hindi from films, basic French and Spanish from school and trying to learn Punjabi for my gf (so only the 1st four fluently for me really)

What about everyone else?

Clicked 2, but forgot my mother tongue. So I mean 3

Half-decent English, very basic French and a few naughty insults in German. Ooh, oh, and I can count to 10 in German.

Oh yeah, and I`ve picked up a few comical phrases from Eastern cinema and anime. So some Cantonese and Japanese, too.

I think I`ll click 5 and give myself a self-esteem boost for the evening. :)

What does `understand` mean?
I can speak and write a fair bit of French. But listening to two French people speaking to each other and I`m lost...
Stantz, 3... Fluent?

Companies that have p**sed me off so much that I will never use them again and I hope you dont either....
Alloy Bodies of Manchester - The Grand Daddy & Benchmark for shockingly poor customer service.
Capital Bank Leasing who are part of BOS & are f**ing useless & struggle to action the smallest request but are fantastically efficient at taking money out of my account
Abbey National Absolutely diabolical service - how hard is it to change £60 of coins into notes????
....more coming soon no doubt.....

Quote:
Gujarati, English. Hindi, Urdu and punjabi......This may be a stupid question but what are the major differences between Gujarati, Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi? Are they all derivations of one language eg. Arabic and Farsi or Italian and Latin?

Anyhow, I clicked three as I understand English and can make out enough French and German to get by although by no means fluently.

correct me if I`m wrong but I think you`ll find that Farsi (Persian) and Arabic are two completely different languages - as different say as Spanish and Norwegian

I can only really speak one language - English - but I can understand French and German well enough to cope, and Flemish (Dutch, if you prefer) if they speak slowly enough!
