Re: How many languages can you speak?
There's no motivation to speak other languages if your British, as the world seems to be learning your language.
I can speak French and am learning German.
I'm taking European politics though, so i'm probably an exception.

Re: How many languages can you speak?
English
French (I live in an island closer to France than England, so I need to be pretty good in it)
Spanish - I wouldn't say I'm fluent, but I'm pretty competent in it.
I also speak the language of love. <3!

Re: How many languages can you speak?
Dutch
I can manage in English and French
and I can make myself understandable in German
edit: and I find stating something like "I don't have to learn another language because everybody speaks English anyway" pretty retarded, sorry.

Re: How many languages can you speak?
Dutch
English
Flemish (indistinguishable, lived there for a few years so there)
French
German
Spanish
However must admit that of late my tongue turns to mud when trying to speak german out-of-the-blue. I forgot most of the rules (what was it again, bei vor mit nach aus von zu, can´t recall) and so I start to stutter. After 10 minutes I´m all fine again.

Urdu isn't an Arabic language, unless you meant something else.

Re: How many languages can you speak?
Urdu, Kurdish, Turkish, Persian, etc are variations of Arabic. It's not Arabic but it's 'related'.
