I love how you spell little, lol. I find that I can often speak 'idiot' on occasion. I can write it too. This is quite some accomplishment as well.
I tell everyone I'm fluent in French. I used to be, kind of, but its easy to forget when you don't use it.
I kind of get the gist of signing. I try to talk with my deaf grandparents. I'm learning quick!
I know the alphabet in sign lang. so I can spell things out.. That's about it. I speak TXT though.. LOL and cybernese
I can get a room, order a meal, and get directions to the restroom in Spanish, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese, and Korean, but I would be hard pressed to carry on a conversation in any of them. However, I do have a funny story that also serves as an oblique warning to not over imbibe.
I was stranded in Madrid once and decided to do a little Tosca hopping with my buddies. I was in my Air Force uniform when we ran into two Spanish soldiers who had some wonderful acco for which I was determined to trade. I was eventually successful, but it took the better part of ten minutes before they understood what I wanted. The next morning I expressed my disappointment in my language skills to my colleagues, explaining that I thought my four years of formal Spanish training in school would have served me better. Whereupon they started laughing and advised me I had been speaking German to the two soldiers. Of course, everything made sense at that point, but to this day my brain still thinks I was speaking Spanish. (I extrapolated the experience some and that is the last time I ever allowed myself to get drunk. I consider it a bonus on top of the insignia.)

Sis I can speak, read and hopefully write in English, Afrikaans and Tswana.
I too have been known to speak (and think) idiot, thanks to my MS; however, the one language that I am totally fluent in, even when I'm sleeping, is MOM!
I seem to know what kids are thinking and what they really want before they do, and I have eyes behind my head which has proven VERY convenient!
Hope I was able to provide a little comic relief guys!!!
Love you all,
Jo

I can get by in Spanish. I took four years of Latin in high school and a year of Greek . I also know a lot of Yiddish through my in-laws. Which reminds me...I'm getting noshy...I could use a bissell of cake or ice cream, but I'm too gehagen to go get it!
I pondered over this... Smith & Wesson.
Does pig-Latin count???

I speak English fluently; however, I only know a little French and a little more Spanish. Sign language is rusty. Peace
I'm very much fluent in the language called " Oh My Gosh" lolx.. I'm always pretty shocked or i'm always acting shocked? I don't know.. Lolx
but other than that, i am fluent in my home language called Urdu. I know a bit of French since we have French lessons in school. I used to be good at chinese when i was kid, but now, i know just very few words. I know how to read Arabic but won't understand a bit...just like Life/Omar. Then i know very little of Tagalog (Phillipine's lang) cause i have many Phillipino friends. And i know a little Mandarin too, we have lessons of it too.

YUP I CAN SPEAK SPANISH AND i can write in Spanish, Russian, German french, and Portuguese
I am FLUENT in Russian and i can read and write too...here is something in Russian: привет, мениа зовут "Розе" и я лублу КОШЕК!!!! It means: Hello, my name is Rose and i love CATS!
I have to say, it's Korean, but I'm not very good at it. I only learned Korean for two months, in the embassy of the republic of Korea in Peking. Hope I can be fluent in Korean in future, it's really cute.
I only speaka da englaise and not Berry(pa vol saying "very") well at dat.. My sisters and brothers we're more capable of picking up on different languages...like french,German,Spanish...i never could get the hang of the different verbage...later
WOW all these talented language people!! I feel a little like a dunce; I learned a lot of Italian from my mom and grandparents, and could speak with them when I was a lot younger...My mom made my brother and I learn the days of the week, months of the year, and to count from one to 20 for starters....then my grandparents came to live with us and I learned a lot more...but, alas, not enough to be able to read and write it...I can see a foreign film in Italian and spot any discrepancies in the subtitles, which do pop up once in a while!! (dubious distinction, at best!! LOL)...so I rather envy all you out there who are so fluent, & I think it's a great thing to know at least one or two other languages besides your own.....more power to ya!!!
Being born and reared in Texas, I am still trying to master the English language. I studied French in HS & College and I do sign. My kids and I worked on that as our secret way to communicate across a soccer field. Now I do know enough Spanish to order a margarita. Honestly, I am embarrassed that I am not more literate, especially after reading the other Blurter’s answers.
I am fluent in English, Chinese, and Spanish. I am best at English, duh.
sorry only english...oh I know does baby talk count
I'm monolingual.... Unless you can include medical lab-ese,typonese and southern American Anglish.... <---not spelled wrong. :) :-P DONT CHANGE WHAT I TYPE!
Unfortunately only English fluently although a little Spanish and German do float through lol
Sorry, I don't speak, read or write anything but English. Wish I did know another language--think it would be fun.
My mother tongue is Arabic, so I'm fluent in it. And I'm trying to be fluent in English to0.
I can do the alphabet in sign but that's about it.I have enough trouble speaking english.But then again I am not a speaker I trip over my tongue
My wife insists I'm fluent in Mandarin Chinese, though I underestimate my communicative competency in that language. Right now I'm teaching myself Kannada, a South Indian language. Any Blurtit tutors available?
I am completely fluent in english, and piglatin (assuming that it counts). I can also speak enough german and latin (the real latin language) to get by. I can also speak bits and pieces of japanese, mandrin, french, russian, spanish, and italian.
