Well, I was just curious if there is anyone that is Fluent in 2 languages besides Spanish.
Anyways I was just curious because I would like to expand my knowledge in languages and it would be great to get someone to help me with that

[Kazu Kun]

[Pedro Falcão]

Falo português.
I speak english
Hablo español.
Parlo un po 'di italiano.
Ich sprechen ein bisschen Deutsch.
Je parle un peu français.

... In order of fluency. Note that i studied a little of spanish, but it is very similar to my language, so i can say i understand a lot and speak fairly (also i have a friend from Republica Dominicana who helped me with some spanish).

We have people from many countries in this forum, just don't know if they are willing to help you out! Anyways, if you are going to learn a romantic language...

This is the percentage of speakers over the total of 690 million romantic speakers...

You're all making me feel pretty dumb :-( If you discount the three programming languages (Javascript, PHP, and Ruby), I only know English.

I've been trying to learn French, but there is a lot involved in it. e.g. "ou" (or) v.s. "où" (where). Why does one accent make a different word? *sigh*

And you guys get the same word "you" meaning both plural and singular, German with those incredibly long words ("Kugelschreiber" = "pen" / "Süßigkeiten" = "candies"!), spanish speakers speak too fast...

That's the advantage learning english as second language. No written accents, regular verbs, easy to comprehend grammar (although I know that I probably make a lot of grammar mistakes )

Spanish on the other hand has written accents following different rules, has no regular verbs (which I think is a pain if you have to study that, I remember when I was a child and I had to memorize all the past, future, subjuntive tenses...) and more things that I am skipping, mainly because it's my native language I guess xD

English and Portuguese (The brazilian one, for obivious reasons )

@Enrique: Do you really speak klingon? Hehehe. It's hard to see a ST fan nowadays. If I only knew how to speak like R2-D2...

Isn't R2-D2 from Star Wars instead of Star Trek?

[Gen.Kenobi]

Yep. And I like both "series".

BTW, are you also from Brazil, Pedro?

[Pedro Falcão]

@Gen Yes, i am.

Dutch, English, French and a little German here. Yay for living in a trilingual country!

[Pedro Falcão]

My country's only official language is portuguese, even though there are areas where people speak only other languages, like german, Italian, french, japanese, korean and indian languages and their variants (like Tupi and Guarani), but these areas are very few (communities of immigrants and indians who prefer to avoid contact).
