How many languages can you speak/read/write fluently?

[Sam]

Impressive group of people we have here.

1 language: 19
2 or more: 21

Will the individual fluent in 4 or more language please stand up? We all need to know who you are, so we can ask for help in future translations.

English
Croatian (maybe 60% - can speak it, read it and usually write it )

Until I was about 5 years old, I was fluent in Croatian and hardly knew any English (even though I was born in Canada)....that's what happens when you grow up with parents who just got off the boat

Italian - can understand spoken/written italian pretty well due to spanish knowledge.
French - reading, 50%, speak - 20%, write - 10%
Laotian - speak - 10%, understanding spoken laotian - 15%

Well, pretty rusty on the French. Lived there for a school year a long time ago and then taught French for a few years.

Reminds me of an old joke...

During the last five years, we have seen wide variety of cultural backgrounds in Atlanta. Based on that transformation, early this year I decided to start my own translation/interpretation service. I was able to gather a group of more than 20 invididuals that speak languages such as: spanish, french, german, portuguese, italian, russian, hindi, arabic, creole, korean, japanese, chinese, etc. It is a business no doubt about that, but the part I like the most is the fact that we are helping people to communicate with others.

I answered one. I had three years of French in high school, but have not used it since and remember very little.
