Purpose:  
In order to remove some clutter, we are going to combine the old stickies What languages do you speak? and What's another language you want to learn before you die? into one thread. We'd like to keep these topics to a minimum in an attempt to bolster creativity to talk about other things in the vast subjects of cultures and foreign languages! Plus, this is a great central reference for finding someone who speaks a language that you do, or to find someone to help you out!

If you do, feel free to also look at the Language Courses Support Group!

Answer the following questions:  
So LiveWire, what languages do you speak, and to what degree? (You could even use the scale below do describe it!)  
What was your first language?  
What are you secondary languages?  
What languages do you hope to one day master?  
Are you open to members coming to you for help in languages classes or to ask you how to say something?  
Please specify whether you know the language, or want to learn it.

Need help determining your degree of proficiency?  
The ILR (International Language Roundtable) has developed a scale for you to measure your proficiency level in each of the following areas:

I speak English, Telegu, French and rudimentary Spanish. I am going to learn Chinese this summer.

English was my first language and the rest are secondary.
I want to learn Russian and I don't know why.    

I've always been there to help members with French mostly and will continue to be there if it is needed of me!
