    I speak English, German, Spanish, and Hindi. I have taken a look at Irish Gaelic on more than one occasion, but I find it hard to stick to, and its small number of speakers is discouraging. I am predominantly British, Irish, and German so I have 2/3. I have not bothered to study Welsh.

    well, being mixed, i can't speak the languages of all my ethnicities. for example my mom's father is Armenian and I can't speak Armenian.

    Nagiimpress naman ako sa yun manga pinoy kaibigans ko ay naka dito sa husay nang tagalog ko. Ingles ay talaga yun native language ko, pero natuwa naman sila sa level nang tagalog ko kahet talaga lumake ako sa America since the age of 3. Na gagandahan ako sa Tagalog honestly, lol pero honestly mejo mas maganda ang English no offense sa manga pinoys; very cosmopolitan ang English sa tenga talaga. Sa tuloy nang gamet ko yun tagalog ko dito ay nag dadame na manga nakakatuwa nang conversations nakasama sa barbero ko. Tuloy na tuloy yun conversational ability ko since lumipat ako dito in 2010. Sarap den manuod na manga Tagalog movies; pero honestly bihira ako manuod nang Tagalog, karamihan ay na pinapanuod ko ay manga English/American titles. But life is good!

    As I'm ethnically German, Irish and English, I've cut down two, speaking English natively and understanding basic German (Auch die Deutsche Sprache, die größte Sprache!). There there's Gaelic... If the orthography wasn't so damn confusing, then I might try to learn it.
