... yet to see anyone who is fluent ...

Is that what you meant? (jk)

 

[jacob0401]

Chinese (Mandarin), English, Learning Spanish, Some Taiwanese

 

[sparkyclarky]

English, classical Greek, Latin, German, Italian

But of those, i only know English to any significant extent

While I have taken many languages, I am not particularly great at picking them up....As my Greek final today demonstrated....

Yeah, because those billion people speaking dialects of Chinese want to change, right? Or those billion people in India - they want to change too right? Or the hundreds of millions speaking Spanish? While English usage is growing, it is by no means going to become the 'world standard' so to speak. However, with translation technology improving, in 50 years we may not need to learn other languages on an individual basis if we just use them as a tool for basic communication. You may only need to learn the language if you are interested in its art.

Anyways - :beer:

edit: Here's some stats on language usage languages

I have no reason to mess with India or China. The last thing was a bit of a joke.

English, Gujurati/Hindi (altho not as fluent in Hindi..and i can't read or write in those two)

 

[ProviaFan]

My English skills are reasonably good; some would probably consider me to be fluent in that language. I have attempted to study Latin in the past, but don't remember much from that effort (semper ubi sub ubi), and am currently studying German (aber meine Deutsch ist nicht so gut ).
