Or you have the other side where all they really know is kimochi~ and onii-sama~ and futanari

Ugh..

Also, knowing a couple sentences of Spanish doesn't make you a Spanish master. I don't count myself as knowing a language until I am positive that I could go to that country and function without a hitch. Only languages you are fluent at count in my opinion..

EDIT: (For the poll, I mean)

This.

I can speak 2 languages. English and Vietnamese.

But, I can speak some phrases and have a general understanding of Cantonese and French (2 years high school, 1 semester college).

Then some random words and phrases of Mandarin, Japanese, Korean.

But knowing random phrases and words does not count as knowing a language.

 

[Brainonska511]

English
Spanish - enough for "competency" from my University (placed into a 2nd year college class at the start of my first year, but opted out of taking it).

Well, I'm starting to listen to audio tapes of Japanese in addition to anime. Watching and hearing really helps though.

English - Native, technically, also strongest
Arabic - Also technically native, pretty strong, use with parents, and with friends for cursing
Hebrew - Weaksauce, I can get by at checkpoints in the West Bank, and ask for the bathroom (eifo ha-shiruteem was some kind of stupid running joke in my Hebrew class, that I am partially responsible for starting). My pronunciation is top notch though, comes with speaking Arabic I guess...

Madarin - native, though vocabulary is weak.

 

[Locut0s]

English - native
Chinese (Mandarin) - fluent pronunciation maybe 10-15% vocabulary. Not enough to hold a detailed conversation but probably enough to travel and make do in China. I would probably seem retarded because I sound fluent but don't know so many words lol.
