None.

I want to learn the Slavic languages (Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Bulgarian, Serbian and Macedonian) but it's a big commitment just learning one!

I would imagine that it would be hard going, unless you live in that vicinity or have some connection there.

I didn't know it was possible to not be fluent in anything. Interesting.

Maybe they misread the post and thought it said (or meant) ‘how many foreign languages are you fluent in?’

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

That is possible.

The reason I worded it the way I did was to get an idea of where people came from.

I think the title is as clear as it can be, but people can misunderstand anything i guess.

That is very impressive. Multilingualism is an admirable ability and I think fluency in a second language, and not merely its study, should be a mandatory element of education.

It's all about seeing patterns and how all the shapes fit together. Language is similar to a mathematical formula.

Impressive!

For me sadly, only one, but I do admire people who can speak more than one.

PS I speak a smattering of German and Spanish.
