I only speak two languages....English and bad English.
I'm a shamefully typical American: I speak only one language fluently.
I know enough Spanish to carry on a very rudimentary conversation, and I know bits and pieces of other languages- ASL, French, Chinese.
Other members of my family who have traveled widely are far more multilingual than I am.
Maybe I should say that I can speak several dialects of Red Neck. I was watching a show last night on the Discovery Channel about North Carolina mountain folk and their strange dialect. I could understand every word they said and wondered why people were having such a hard problem with their speech. Must a ben em air dem yankees.
Was training with a guy in Alabama when I started working for my current employer. I'm from Tennessee, so I speak igornant as good as anybody. But I learned a new word. We were using a Polaris ATV that wouldn't start with the battery, it had to be pull-started because the battery was dead from non-use. The guy said the ATV wouldn't crank because it hadn't been 'crunk' for a week. True story. No offense on him though. He was a product of south Alabama education, but a really good guy.

When I first moved to Alabama a funny thing occured similar to this. I was in the garage of a friend and he asked me to open the garage door. I asked "Which button do I press?" He looked at me and laughed. "You talk too formal, down here we say mash". That's right everyone around here says mash.. As in "mash that button for me."
I speak only English now, but was fluent in Portugese when I was a child. I lost most of it due to lack of use, but perhaps I would pick it up again fairly quickly with re-exposure. I took two years of Spanish back in high school and can understand basic Spanish, but really don't speak it with any degree of fluency.
