    I can speak Gaelic and English. I'd love to be able to speak another European language though. It's nice to be able to speak Gaelic but it's pretty useless, even in most of Ireland. I did German in school for 5 years but never really put much effort in. I can speak enough to get by if I had to go to Germany, but it's still not great. Doing Spanish nightclasses though at the moment, in the hope that when I go to Spain in the summer and then South America in October/November I'll have the basics and it'll make it easier to pick it up.

    Well first one is quite obvious: Croatian, my mother tongue... I learn English since i was 5 years old... I also spek Italian, but not much.. I understand completely, but i don't know grammar or writing... I know as much as my granny taught me. I also speak German.. Some Spanish too...
    And i understand a considerable number od phrases on Slovenian, Russian, Slovakian, Hungarian, French and Portugese...
    But i don't know how to say something grammatically correct, i just use the words so people can understand the basic things i have to say to them

    Finnish is my native language, I'm fluent in English and Swedish, and pretty fluent in German. I also speak some French and Spanish but I need lots more practice. I'd love to be fluent in Spanish.
