    Parlez-vous Français? (Correct?)
    Sprechen sie Deutsch?
    Spreek jij Nederlands?
    Do you speak English?

    Heh, I always repeat that until I've got it into my head.
    I do not know if everything is correct, but OK.

    ...Your Swedish is good, but I still doubt you considering all your other languages were atrocious. I know a little German, including that, and you're so off it's painful. Also, my French is really good. It's Allons-y, and Parlez-Vous. The hyphen is necessary.

    sorry. I guess I just loathe it when people claim to speak so many languages, but they only know one or two phrases. Sure, you can say a couple of things, but that's not speaking a language. Speaking a language, to me, requires some sort of small amount of fluency, or the ability to carry on a short conversation in many contexts. That's not spouting off a few pre-memorized phrases; it is the ability to construct your own phrases. :)

    If we're going by languages I know a few phrases in, here goes:
    Icelandic, Finnish, Danish, Norwegian, Faroese, Japanese, Spanish, Dutch, German. :)

    For languages I speak? Here's the chart I use.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ILR_scale

    Swedish - S-2
    French - S-4
    English - S-5

    Never claimed to be fluent, also that last post was written in a hurry - the grammatical errors were from haste, not lack of knowledge :) You can also add to the fact I used the incorrect character for the letter C in Francais ;)

    My 3 main languages are, English, Swedish and French - using the same scale:

    English - S-5
    Swedish - S (3 written, 4 spoken, 5 comprehension and reading)
    French - S-2

    (Pre-edit, you would have had good cause to doubt the 'English' part too!)

    That must be because we use a lot of dialects in our spoken language - people from the north of Denmark speaks a lot like Norwegians. But people from the south of Denmark is very difficult to understand even for a dane...
