Do you speak your fiance's language?

To kill time...

You know what they say -

A person who speaks 3 languages is trilingual

A person who speaks 2 languages is bilingual

A person who speaks one language is an American!

I am however, trying real hard to learn.......

She speaks 3 and i speak 2, and we have 1 in common (if you don't count the "language of love").

I am not fluent but I can follow a conversation and understand the radio, tv, etc.... I actually speak Spanish, English, I am good at Italian + still learning Dutch...

Hm, this poll needs a "my fiance's language is the same as mine/isn't the same as mine" differentiation.

Anyway, I'm better than "enough to get by" but I consider fluent to be pretty much no mistakes. I make mistakes a lot. Not grammatical ones but with each sentence and word choice it's clear that I'm foreign, know what I'm saying?

No matter how much anyone else compliments me on my pronunciation, I did not hear the end of how I sounded when I told Rey that my mom was making him some pão de banana. "hahahahah fala 'pão' " etc etc

I was living in my guy's country for 21 years and was fluent in his language (Telugu) years before I met him. I hope that he can come here and we can take Spanish classes together - the 2nd or is it 1st language of California!

Yep, I'm fully fluent in his language

I understand very little of her native language which is Ilocano. I can read much of her secondary language, which is Tagalog, but speaking it is a completely different matter. She understands most English, but again her speaking it is an entirely different matter. But we have no problems understanding each other.

I only know few of his words in original language, but he does very good English

I can speak good German when I can be assed to. I have a lazy enough tongue in English. I can read, write, and understand it all well. Not 100% perfect, but 85-90% easy. Hochdeutsch, anyway.

I am learning Nepali, speak very little but know the most important words...

We both speak English and French.

He also knows Hindi, and I know Italian and German, plus Hawaiian pidgin..

A bit complicated:

• Both of us can speak English, and do at home
  
• Unfortunately, neither of us can speak THE OTHER's native language (hers is Telugu, mine Tamil)
  
• I can speak French fluently (Pras cannot), a little rusty in German
  

However, I am trying to learn Telugu at home, so it will be easier to speak to my MIL (who can speak Tamil with some difficulty, no English).

I'm pretty fluent....though I did look at him oddly the first time he asked for the "brush"...he's bald you see.
