Default What Languages Do You Speak?
Since their are Simmers from all over the world, I wanted to see what other people speak/are learning to speak. Me? I was raised on English but am learning French. I'm not that good of a French speaker, though.

Raised learning English, Mexican Spanish and the Legalese dialect of English. Understands Japanese and German enough to keep my nose clean. Has a grasp on Chinese (Mandarin dialect), Korean, French, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese to piece words together, but wants to learn Russian (beyond padruga (girlfriend), privet (hello), dastvidanya (goodbye), da (yes) and nyet (no)), the Nordic languages of Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Danish and Swedish (which, with the exception of Finnish, are roughly the same language that has been spoken for past millennia or 2.) and Thai.

English is my main language, followed by French, Dutch, some Arabic, and whatever level GCSE German is. The disappointing thing is that I've got all those languages around me all the time (except German) yet I'm only fluent in english.

English is my main language. I went to an all Irish primary school, so I'm fluent in Gaeilge too. I know a bit of Latin, some Spanish, I know German and I like to "Confess Attraction" and "Anounce Pregnancy" to people in Simlish.

English and Spanish, both well enough to teach park visitors about the parks I work in in either language, which can be very helpful- sadly, it's about the only use I get for my Spanish anymore... I can also understand a surprising amount of Italian or even Latin, on the rare occasion you hear it spoken (I've never taken any classes on either), just thanks to the similarities with Spanish. Can't speak a word of either myself though...

English is my first language, followed by functional Esperanto & Spanish. After that I have a basic understanding of French, Italian & Greek. (Concerning Greek, I am much better at writing and speaking it than I fear I will ever be at reading it.)

I'm really into languages. Unfortunately that often means dropping one once I have basic proficiency in it to pick up another one, so I have a basic understanding in many more languages than the three mentioned above, those are just the ones I can be bothered the actively study.

English as a first language. I was taught Spanish in my K-8 school for all 9 years, and while it was mostly vocabulary and basic phrases I can read and comprehend OK-ish. I'm in my 3rd year of learning French while in high school, although to say the least I'm not very good at my accent.
I can speak French a lot easier than Spanish because my French teacher believes the only way to learn is to hear & speak it, while my Spanish teacher followed everything by the book and just gave us busywork on vocabulary to do day after day.

English. I was taught French for 3 years in high school, and Japanese for a year in College as an extra-curricular. Now that I live in Wales I've picked up a few basic words and phrases, and I know bits of Swedish, as I have a swedish friend who teaches me them sometimes. But yeah basically I'm only fluent in English.

German as mother tongue, but my English is better than my German. I'm a German who speaks better English than German. That seems to break all logic for me.

English now, but I used to speak Polish fluently and right now I'm learning German.

English and Spanish over here, also able to read Italian but can't speak it worth a dime.

When I get lost in Italy it'll be okay, though.

I can speak Italian, English and French. I know German and Spanish but don't speak them very well because the occasion never comes up. I used to study Latin and Ancient Greek for a few years in high school, and when I started uni I studied Dutch for a period.
I also speak fluent emoji.

Wow and congratulations! Those are in three completely different language groups, so knowing one wouldn't help you much with either of the others.

English and Franglish, or Acadian french. It's a terrible broken french with a bunch of English all mixed in. And fluent Newf which again, is a whole lot of garbled English. But it's so beautiful being whispered in your ear, the smell of screech drifting by.
