Best wishes.


I didn't mean from an anonymous account. I just mean it is an anonymous poll and so unless the person posts with a comment there is no way to tell who claims 9.

I can express myself reasonably in Dutch, English and German. So I count 3.
I can read Frisian, French, Spanish ( sometimes using a dictionary ).
I "learnt" Latin and Greek somehow. I studied a bit Russian with no effect at all.

I don't, I don't know about others. Neither do I think that Canadian French is a different language from "French" French, or that the dialects of Finnish spoken on the east side of the country are a different language from the dialects of the west etc.

Swedish and English; rusty German and French (that I never knew good enough in the first place) and a tiny bit of Chinese (slowly learning more thanks to a Chinese GF)
