LGBT How many languages do you speak?
Tomorrow I'm probably checking out the other gay church around here. Looking on the website, I noticed they have a "learn Spanish" class they teach. I wonder why a church would teach a language.
So how many languages do you speak?

Shy Guy, I only speak English. Anyway, I am so happy that you are checking out another church. I hope you find a spiritual home.

I use to be fluent in Spanish when I was little but when I started school they like made me speak English. Now I speak English and I'm learning Latin hopefully I'm gonna start French and Spanish soon. Many churches learn/speak different languages in order to reach out to third world countries.
It's weird. I was a straight A student in Spanish @ school. Now, I haven't used it years but decided to pick it back up again for work. I figured a little brushing up and it would all come flying back. Man, I got the CD's, the book Spanish for Gringos, (sorta like those Cooking for Dummies, Excel for Dummies etc.) AND went to a 4 week night school refresher course. Nuthin'. Must be a dummy!
English and French.
I live in Canada so...
( And I have taken french for 9 years and will be in Quebec for 6 months)
You'd think I'd at least know a couple words of either Gaelic, German or Cantonese but I don't even know one.
Sadly my heritage doesn't survive. If I ever have a kid, we'd probably emigrate too and he or she won't learn a thing of french.
Korean is my first language but i'm now better at English than Korean, so that's two. I don't really count spanish as another language, since i don't speak it fluently, only in school.
Just English
English (first language)
Ich spreche deutsch. (German: Second language / bilingual)
Je parle Francais (French: 3rd language / 5 yrs HS French)
Rezemie Po Polsku (Polish: certain daily phrases only)
Spanish (a few phrases only, but can translate a fair amount of written Spanish)
Spanish is my first language (Costa Rican spanish), English fluently, French and I'm still learning Swedish.
And I'm pretty sure I'll learn another one lol.
