    I'm Polish. I've been learning English, Russian, German, French, Latin, Greek, tried to learn myself Italian but I only bought a dictionary and that was all.

    I can only speak English, a little Russian...

    Now there is someone who gives me more motivation to learn English, and this summer I'm coming to the U.S. so I guess I'll learn faster this way.

    Someone said that speaking more than one language is like having more than one soul, and I like this thought. I guess I'm a little different person when I'm using English, simpler and less melancholic for sure!

    French et English, studying Norsk and Italian and German, interested in Dutch. I am good with Franglais and salé Spanish. Basic Irish Gaelic, and français argot, is like an entire different langage in itself. ;)

    All of the languages on Balkans are the same, but they're declared as different, so I can speak Serbian, Montenegrian, Bosnian, Croatian, English, a bit of German and I understand Spanish and Macedonian...
    I also learned Latin in school, but all I remember now is "Puela pulchra est" and the second declination, plural (bellum, belli, belo, bella, bella, bello or something like that) :)

    English is native. I can speak enough German and Italian to get by. I can understand French a little. I want to be fluent in all of them though.

    Montenegrian? Macedonian? Are you sure such languages exist?
    May be there are Voivodian, Belgradian, Podgorian, Novi-Sadian and Nishian languages as well.

    Sure they exist!..At least, Macedonian does...Montenegrians are trying to qualify their language as existing one, so I support them....:)
    And, I have never heard Bulgarian (your language exists, right?), but I'm sure I would understand you perfectly..........

    You are talking about the dialects, not about the separate languages. There is not such thing as macedonian and montenegrian language, exactly like there is not such thing as austrian and swiss language. Dialects are something different. And I know you will understand me perfectly like me, who understand 90% serbian.

    Well, what about croatian language?...It's absolutely the same as serbian or montenegrian, so why is it separate language?...Ok, Croatian linguists are trying to make completely new language by force now, but it's still the same...
    And, I told you, if Montenegrinians and Macedonians want to have their own language, let it be, they deserved it, I'm a 100% supporter :)

    you cant be serious.
    I could ask what about serbian ? its absolutely the same as croatian or montenegrian, so why is it a separate language?
    croatian is one language and serbian one language.
    two different nations - two different languages.
    dont talk like every language became of serbian. because it sounded like thats what you were saying.

    Oh, yes! And may be in Kosovo they speak Kosovian language, not albanian. This is ridiculous! There is croatian language. There is serbian language as well. And there is slovenian language too. But forget about macedonian (that sounds so funny) and forget about montenegrian. The historians in these new countries just suffer from the shortage of history, therefore they are decided to create their own. Montenegrians and Macedonians may call their language as they want. They can say they speak Marsian language. This is their problem. But the historic truth is something different and it always shows the right answers.
