Just curious to see what other language(s) than english, you are able to speak. By speaking I mean, at least, to be able to make sentences and have a basic communication with this language. :)
Some people do talk some languages (from few to many), some only english, and rest, one other than english.
For example, if you did some spanish at school, but then lost practice and need to study it again, you can't really say you speak spanish. (used spanish as example as I studied spanish for several years but lost practice and thus would be required to learn again :( )

I'm not very fluent in any of these, but I have a decent base in them (can get by on holiday) and with a bit of practice could re-learn them properly - French, German and Latin.

"Others" is not meant to be english (incase people speaking english felt they would consider english in "others", considering I precised, other languages than english, thus english not being included in poll :p)
There was also a poll about english level of people..so it's not needed to know who speaks english in this one. :)

Others could be the following: latin, russian, danish, swedish, mandarin, korean...

just wanted to be apart of it :(

(I didn't vote for others btw)

Well not really directed at you, more making sure massive amounts of "others" don't come from english speakers. :)
