I don't think many ppl around the world speak so many languages.....maybe in Europe but overall i think it's rare to be able to speak more than 2 languages....

I don't really know this ^^''
Because some friends speak so many languages, too...
We are just crazy ^^
But if you say this it must be right  |
no i am not necessarily right but i've travelled around the world and most ppl i know speak 2 languages but speaking 3 or more langauges, in my personal experience seems rare.

I thought I could speak English as well. Apparently my students have another opinion. _________________

Don't feel bad...I think I speak English quite well but apparently a lot my coworkers here think differently because half of the time they can't understand me. They say I'm the one with the accent.
On subject...
Japanese (used to be fluent...not so much anymore)
English and Pidgin English so common in Hawaii
Some Sioux (had some Native Sioux Indian friends once...but I lost touch with them years ago).

I don't eat fried napkins...that's for sure.
Yeah, I'm a strange one to them...must be the fact that I'm Japanese and I eat goldfish (a joke between me and some of my coworkers - goldfish being a reference to how we Japanese supposedly like to eat "raw fish").

They understand American TV. I'm not sure why they have a difficult time understanding me sometimes...might be the way I phrase my sentences or the words I use or maybe I just speak too fast. I don't know.
