      Yes, I can speak English and Italian fluently. I also studied French at school and a little bit at university so I used to be quite good although I think I have probably forgotten a lot of it now!

      Only English, with some scraps of German. I do wish that I could speak Urdu/ hindi or Chinese Mandarin though.

      I can only speak English but would love to be able to speak another language. I did French at school so can remember little bits of that.

      English (not my native language), Russian, Ukrainian and some Polish. I used to be able to read in German but only scientific literature (much of the best chemistry work before the 1960-ies was published in German and I had to learn some of it for my work)
