May I ask why you learn mandarin?
No offence, just curious.

Oh none taken. I am going to study in Hong Kong next year and originally wanted Cantonese but it's not offered in the major universities so I took Mandarin to learn the characters because if all else fails, I'll be able to at least recognize the writing and its meaning.

Japanese
Chinese

Can read/write only:
Thai,

I want to learn Vietnamese and lao, but I don't know any native speaker. Until then I will stick with what I know.

I can speak Vietnamese, English and Bahasa Malaysia fluently, Cantonese is conversational.

Why are you learning Bahasa Malaysia?

Because my mom is half Malay half Chinese. Dad is Vietnamese.

English: speak, read and write.

Vietnamese: speak, can't read and can't write

Korean: speak, can't read and can't write.

Anyone know how to speak African here?

That's a good idea by Cuong. Here's my revised list

On a scale of 1 to 5 where 1 is excellent and 5 is poor

Viet: Speak(1), read(1) and write(1)

English: Speak(1), read(1), write(1)

Bahasa: Speak(2), read(3), write(3)

Cantonese: Speak(2), read(4), write(5)

That not a language.

That is such a stereotype and the African continent has many different languages is Sudanese and many more.

Khmer
Japanese
Viet

Good luck.

Woah, u noe Malay Language? Haha..

As for me,

Speak - English, Malay, Mandarin, Nepali

You'll be able to survive with English and Mandarin You only really need Cantonese if you want to get hook-ups *wink wink* *nudge nudge*

Besides, once you know Mandarin, learning Cantonese will be a piece of baozi

Hehehe... I am going to learn Mandarin next semester, too.

Three more weeks, and Minnesota, here I come!

I'm fluent in English only. I can speak Chinese, but I have trouble reading and writing it.

I can figure out what people are saying in Spanish if they speak slow, and sometimes what people are saying in French if they speak REALLY slow.

I know sever words in like 10 different languages, but they don't really count b/c I can't really get around with those languages.

Same here...

Oh and I can get the gist of written Italian too.
