I've studied Latin at school but I won't pretend I can actually speak it.

2) Dutch
3) English

English, little bit of French, little bit of Russian, and a host of other languages I know many words in but can't actually construct sentences out of.

English. I can recall some French and German from school, less so Latin. More recently I've dabbled in British Sign Language, Lojban and Thai, but never got very far. I haven't given up on these latter three. I'm just... taking a perpetual break from them.

English, I could speak quite a bit of German but I haven't for about three years so i'm very rusty. I can also speak a few words of Japanese, Spanish, French and Latin but nothing in a coherant sentance.

English is my native tongue and my Spanish is so-so. I wouldn't call myself bilingual yet. After I master Spanish, I'd like to learn Italian and one more language before taking on Japanese.

Obviously, I can speak english and I'm learning Japanese at university, so hopefully I can speak that too!

I can speak a little French, enough to get by on Holiday and I can speak a little Cantonese, mainly for talking to my boyfriend with in public so my vocabulary is limited.

How redundant. Everyone knows Spanish and Italian are the same language.

As for me I speak French, though not fluently. Enough to sound like I know what I'm talking about when someone asks me to say something in French, and in the end that's all that really matters.

Spanish and Italian are not the same thing. Italian is more difficult to learn and talk. Anyway, I can speak Italian and English. Who also can speak Italian? Someone else voted it in the poll.

I can speak English, a little bit of Hebrew (but can read written Hebrew easily even if I can't understand it), can ask for an orange juice in French and can understand a little bit of Yiddish when my dad inflicts it on me.

I know the Hebrew alphabet.
Define 'know'. Can you actually read words out?
