How many languages do you speak?

Three. English and Polish very well since my parents are from Slupsk, Poland. The 3rd is Hebrew and yiddish equally as bad even though they are different languages. I know enough Hebrew that my synagogue speaks in plus yiddish to understand it in a religious context.
 
Waddaya call someone who speaks two languages?.....bilingual.
For a person to be classified as bilingual, the person has to live as a child in an environment that is bilingual in terms of the language exchange pattern, for instance, a child raised by parents of different languages. Multilinguals, on the other hand, acquired other languages through learning the language or by cultural experience through interaction and exchange.

Bilingualism and multilinguaism are two distinctive forms of how the foreign language was acquired.
 
Engrish

Spanglish

Conversational Putonghua

Borderline Braziliero (Brazilian Portuguese)

Learning Italian

A few words and barely a memory of 4 years of high school German (that comes back to me randomly)

Some Dutch

No French except some food words

Oh and some Japanese I can fling back at the wife
