How many languages do you live with?

**mshiva** · August 22nd, 2007, 08:56

Please tell me how many languages you are familiar with and how many you are learning or would like to know.

Let me start with myself:
1. Tamil - [It's my beloved mother tongue.]
2. English - [It's the sweet international language.]
3. Kannada - [It's the local language of the place I live in.]
4. Malayalam - [I hear it a lot.]
5. Telugu - [This too I hear a lot, much more than Kannada.]
6. Hindi - [It's the national language.]
7. Sanskrit - [I was forced to sudy it in school.]

I am also learning French. - [I study it in school now, I want to master it.]

Yes I am in India, so it is not unusual to know so many languages.
But I do not want to learn any more languages.

English
French - (I took the class for 5 years, but I haven't used the language in 2 years so much of it's left me)
Japanese - starting an Elementary Japanese class at my university on monday.

I hear Russian all the time. My girlfriend's Lithuanian, and her parents speak Russian 24/7. Oddly enough, they don't speak Lithuanian. Well, if they know it, they don't use it. I know my girlfriend doesn't speak Lithuanian, though.

I once learned some zulu on holiday once. very interesting language, and fun to speak too as its so different. I only managed to pick up a few score of words though, so its not like i can have a conversation.
