How many languages can you speak?

[Sanjeev]

Here in India we have a number of regional languages; every state has its own language. I know 3-4 regional languages, Hindi (our national language), and English.

I always wanted to learn French, German, Spanish, and Japanese but couldn't because of lack of money and time. I think I may be able to do that with the help of Google now. Is it feasible to learn through Google? What do you say?

Only 3 for me. Punjabi, Hindi, and English in sequence of Mother, National and International language.

I speak 2 languages but I am currently learning the third one. I love French and I am already a beginner of the language, I will soon be an intermediate speaker.

I speak English and Yoruba fluently, then small Hausa I picked up from my friend in NYSC camp. I also understand Pidgin well too. I remember when I went to Abuja, I tried greeting one woman in Hausa, and she just smiled and replied very fast. I don't understand half of what she said, I just keep nodding. Language really connects people Sometimes. I wish I had learned French properly back in school, it would’ve helped with some work now.

@uptrendfinancialsignal I also want to learn French, Spanish, and Japanese, as these languages are always in demand here, and you may get a good job if you have a command of these languages. But I think it would be difficult for me if I started learning them now.
