I guess most people know atleast 2 languages to venture in to Foreign Languages, but how many languages can you speak? For me it is just two really.
Swedish
English
I can probably make myself understood in German if I have to though. 4 years in school, I hardly paid any attention and now I regret it.

English, learned some Spanish in school (wasn't a huge fan of Spanish, but I can still read a lot of it and say some sentences), learning German currently, and I'd like to learn some Swedish in the future.
jag lär mig Svenska nu. det är också ett trevligt språk, men mitt grammatik är ganska dåligt och jag pratar inte bra. lol. i've only been learning for a little over a month or so though.
i want to delve into Russian after getting a good grasp on Swedish.
The only one I need, the first to maintain the culture and traditions of my country and the second to speak to everyone that is not french. Well ok, that's not true because of those stupid loud-talking fat spanish, but one day I'll bomb their countrys.

Am trying to learn swedish (just started)
Needless to say, I can speak some spanish too. Pt and Spanish are very close languages.
As for french, I'd really like to perfect it. Like spanish, it's KINDA close to portuguese, but there's some adverbs and tenses i'm not very confortable with. Unfortunately, I can't find any medium that may stimulate practicing French...
Swedish is the first language I'm learning that I had no contact with in school. I'm a cheap fuck, so I'm planning on using rosetta stone and maybe buying a grammar book later on...

If someone at the start of the thread said sign languages counts...
I have English as a first language, near-fluent Danish, minor Japanese, moderate German and Ausland sign language. Being a musician helps with Italian, Latin and some French too.

English, Russian, French, Latin (as if it counts for jack shit)
Had Spanish all the way through elementary school and Rosetta Stoning that shit for the lulz (and going to law school, so it'll be good to know).
I was a linguistics undergrad so I've been exposed to a lot of languages out there, and I did semester academic studies of Old Icelandic and Uzbek but obviously don't know them.

Seems as good a thread to ask as any as I don't really want to create a thread for this, but I was curious: How bad of an idea is it to try to learn 2 languages at the same time? I'm only fluent in English, and I'm learning another language for work. Would it be too much to try learning another?(other than the obvious time constraints)
Just wondering if anyone has any experience doing this, as some people here are supposedly fluent in several languages. Maybe I'm just jealous but I don't see how people can remain fluent in so many languages... If you aren't actively using them they become forgotten so fast ; ;
I guess you just have to be a natural linguist.

what two languages? Unless they're related (like Dutch and German, or Spanish and Italian; you might start mixing those up) you'll be fine, as long as you have the motivation/energy to keep up studying them
good luck brow
