<p>Arabic ftw</p>
<p>English (Yeah, I'm not illiterate)
Chinese (speak, write, and read)
French (like above, but a lot more rusty)</p>
<p>English, Hebrew, just started French</p>
<p>now i have another question.</p>
<p>for those who are completely fluent in a language other than English (like, legit fluent, not just "i studied it in school for 5 yrs and can be understood in another country'), which language to you think in? dream in? or does it change depending on your situation?</p>
<p>I dream in Icelandic.</p>
<p>@rhov Well English is my second language but I think it's still the same. It really depends on the situation. For example after lurking an hour on CC I completely think in English, same with German, when I wrote an essay for German for 4 hours I'm not likely to think in English. As to dreams I can't really say, I mostly don't remember them.</p>
<p>Russian (which is my first language in that I learned it first, but I speak English better now (and count in English, which is most important)), and enough French to get by in France.</p>
<p>i'm an exchange student and since my math class is taught in Catalan, i now count and do math in Catalan. Most other things i still think in English. Or think in Spanish, but revert to english if i hit something difficult.</p>
<p>I speak English, Malay, Mandarin and 3 Chinese dialects.</p>
<p>English is my first language and I think and do everything in English. I'm also fluent in Malay, but not as well on paper as I'd like. I know enough of Mandarin and the Chinese dialects to get by, but I can't read or write Chinese characters.</p>
<p>I can write elementary Jawi (Arabic but for the Malay language).</p>
<p>english duh.
and chinese , heck yea very fluent, also proficient in reading, just dont know how to write sometimes =P but pretty much know all the characters..
ooh, and a local chinese dialect too. hehe

<p>English, Spanish, French, Swahili</p>

I never dream in Spanish. Sometimes I think in Spanish; sometimes in English.</p>
<p>Since I live in Miami and speak Spanish with some friends, situation definitely matters. I usually think in English, though.</p>
<p>English obviously.
When I'm at my aunt's house, or just bored and hanging with my sister, I sign American Sign Language because my cousin is deaf.
Took Latin for three years and can still translate at about a halfway-through-3rd-year level.
Semi-fluent for reading and writing in French. A little bit less than that for understanding spoken French. A little less than that for my own ability to speak. My sister speaks to me in French very often, so that helps.</p>
<p>I'm halfway decent in French, and can usually understand most Latin if I read it. The same goes for geek speak. </p>
<p>I'm also learning Luxembourgish and Deitsch (Pennsylvania Dutch), but very slowly.</p>
<p>I'm fluent in

Lingala -Congolisan dialect-

<p>I'm not like this but I have a lot of friends and acquaintances who are. They were born in other countries and moved to America anywhere between toddlerhood and 8. All of them, for the most part, think and dream in English now, even though they speak their native languages (which is Chinese for most, but also Bosnian, Vietnamese, Arabic, and Korean) at home. This is pretty consistent with the experiences of most exchange students I know. Most of them regress in their native language by the end of their year abroad because they've been thinking and talking in English so much.</p>
<p>Fluent: Vietnamese, English
Decent: French</p>
