I knew it! I knew that my language wouldn't be included in the choices. I guess many other Asian countries don't even acknowledge our nation's existence huh?

Well, anyhooooow

- I can speak Mongolian , my native language ( had to learn, without a choice)
- Russian, fluent I guess lol
- lil Japanese ( started forgetting, ever since I started learning English at the age of 13)
- and obviously English
- lil German

Hope to learn Chinese one day!

Boo, not many choices for other people Unsure

I need subtitles too! But they don't necessarily have to be English subtitles.

Unfortunately I can't speak any asian languages. I've just went to a few Mandarim lessons in my school, but my schedule is incompatible with it. So, I can speak Portuguese (which is my native language), English, Spanish, French, can understand Itallian, and a very few words of japanese =P lol And I guess that's all.
So the answer would be: "None of Above (must rely on subtitles)" lol

- Portuguese (mother tongue)
- Spanish: can't pronunciate the spanish R (peRRo)
- Catalan: same as spanish xD
- Japanese: i've been studying for 2 yrs or so. (had to stop because of university entrance tests) don't have to rely on subs anymore (dict needed for some shows, specially when some tech vocabulary pops up), but i'm not fluent yet
- English: read/write, but cannot speak (my pronunciation sucks T_T)

Wish I could learn either Korean, Mandarin or Thai... Big Smile

English - I speak at home, in school, with my friends, my pet doggie (hahaha) and basically everyone... so im pretty fluent in it.

Cantonese - my mom and a few of my close friends speak Cantonese to me.. when I was younger, my Cantonese sucked. but now, as i grew up, im now way better in it already =)

Malay - it's compulsory to learn the Malay language here in msia.. lolzz

Hokkien - i cant really speak Hokkien... im trying to pick up from Hokkein shows though.. but i still suck at it.. hahahahha. i speak a lil Hokkien with my parents and my grandmother..

Mandarin - i understand Mandarin but im not really good at speaking at it.. currently conversing wif a couple of my friends in Mandarin to improve it,,hehehe

Korean - learning it by myself. Smile

I know none of the languages placed in the poll so I obviously chose to vote None of the Above. I have to rely on subtitles. Sad

Otherwise the languages I know are as follows:

Latvian - native tongue --> Sveiki visiem! (means "Hi everyone"!) Big Smile

Russian - seeing as it's a post-Soviet state a lot of people know and speak it here
English
German

I love studying languages so I hope to learn either Japanese or Chinese when I have the time and the means. But I should really put some work into my poor, almost non-existant French before that. Laugh
