Lebanese people have had the privilege to be able to speak 3 languages, a rarity in today's world. I was just interested in finding out what other languages you LebGeeks speak and NO, Lebanese is not a language (Mix of French Arabic and English).
How many languages do you speak ?
i can speak any language as long as i have google translate on my side :)
@Fischer First of all, that's a stolen avatar ;D.
I find google translate bad, when it comes to big paragraphs and web page translating.

Good Armenian, very fluent English, rusty Arabic,very VERY bad French, know some Russian words here and there.
Spanish, english, Arabic (though a tad weak on the written) and a bit of French
- Edited
Arabic , good English (better than writing) ,acceptable French ( even though i'm french educated).
Edit : re google translate : it only works when translating a single word ,when translating a phrase..omg :P .

at my school (freres maristes) we are obliged to know at least 4 languages plus there is an official exam in all 4, i still have to take arabic, english and spanish exams next year.

I speak Armenian (Speak,Write,Read...)
Arabic (Speak,write,read) Although my spoken lebanese arabic is not that good.
French (Speak,write,read)
English (Speak,write,Read)
Also i understand a bit of Turkish.
My favorite dream language to learn and speak is Spanish though!
Why didnt the Spaniards come and colonise Lebanon instead of the pitty French !!

English of me is speaking much very goodly.
Me speak London very best too !port80 wroteEnglish of me is speaking much very goodly.
Anyway, back to the seriousness of the topic:
Arabic: read write speak
Lebanese ( it is a language if u consider the fact its very different than Arabic) : know it very well i am lebanese after all
French: French educated so speak read and write it well.
English: ironically better at it than french and even some times better than Arabic when it comes to the use of some words that i don't know in the Arabic language but know them in English which turn out to be a very ironic situation.
Know some Spanish words and know " si " in Italian and that's about it.
And also know some VHDL, C++, HTML, and some Intel assembly if that counts for anything
I hope this isn't out of topic, but while we are discussing , I for one would LOVE to learn chinese, but barely have the time! In any case, is anyone interested and does anyone know a place ?

My turn:
Arabic (Mother tongue): very fluent, Including "Fos7a"
French: very fluent, It was my first written language, before Arabic even. I am French educated.
English: Also fluent, like all of you. And I tend to read a lot of English literature too.
Portuguese: Acceptable, I can easily conduct a conversation. I lived many years in Mozambique and Angola (African countries with Portuguese as official language).
I also learned a bit of Swahili and Spanish, but it's not fluent. I can understand when someone speaks those languages but I myself can't conduct a conversation.

Arabic, English and French.
I speak French fluently, some French guys couldn't notice I'm not actually French ( Over Skype ) , I have had a few conversations in French-speaking countries and it was excellent. But I still need to translate a word occasionally, or because of aphasia.
I can have a basic conversation in English but I can't really tell that I speak it fluently, I'd say it's very good, I have read a stage 5 novel and I could understand it very well.
I am very interested in learning more languages but I don't know if I will really have the chance to do so.

@Razorback: geek is right, colloquial Arabic (i.e slang) is considered a different language than the formal Arabic (modern classic Arabic) especially in the field of education.
Anyway, in my field of work I've found out that knowing German is quite the asset so I studied it and actually learned in 6 months what I couldn't learn in 7 years of taking French. I just found it easier to learn.
