Lucky to be Bi-lingual

I speak 3 languages in total and understand a 4th.I speak my own language,Bulgarian, Italian and English,obviously. I can also understand Spanish and if I have to explain simple things in Spanish i can use my knowledge of Italian to do that. So far, I don't have much benefits from speaking more that one language but this is because I'm still in high-school and I just don't need them so often but a few days ago I had to find a part time job and the fact that I spoke more than one language got me chosen instead of other candidates. I believe that speaking many languages is good mainly for the career and it also removes the language barrier which always extends a persons horizon by far.

I speak Hindi, English and my own mother tongue..It's good that i can communicate with all kind of people.

I speak English, my mother tongue; very good French; and pretty good Spanish. I know French because when I was still just an infant, my parents, or father, sent me to a French school in London. Because I was so young, it didn't take me long to become completely bilingual, complete with near-perfect French accent. Nearly all the classes were in French, so I was steeped in French language and culture from a young age. Consequently I was somewhat out of touch with British culture; apart from Pop culture: I loved Pop music, TV and movies. When I was 12, I changed over from a French to an English school, and of course there were "holes" when it came to knowledge of my own country. My academic career was not a very successful one; and I quit formal education at 16. Although I went on to further education; and did pretty well. Being steeped in French culture created within me a passionate love of French culture; and literature, as well as the French nation; and people; a Francophile. Whcih I think is a good thing. Also, knowing French was an asset when it came to leanring Spanish, which I did on vacation in Spain; as well as at college. I came to love Spain; and the Spanish people too: I'm also a Hispanophile.

hi there jureathome, i do also speak multiple languages, being tagalog is my mother tongue. however, as for now, i have not seen yet the benefits of it although, aside from the fact that i can communicate to other nationalities such as chinese, korean and arabic. but, i am thankful to have the ability and the knowledge on how to express those. and i am thinking, God has a purpose why i have learned to speak those languages.

wow! seems great opportunity landed on his hand. I am multilingual, English language opens a window of opportunity to me. For now I am making enough for myself and my family. Still I am looking for a door of hits...

Sad to say that Spanish was removed from the curriculum (both from high school and college). I finished 12 units of Spanish in college but now I can hardly speak even a sentence in Spanish. My dad, of course a pure Filipino, can speak very fluent Spanish and Latin. Yes, knowing several languages is a plus in applying for a job.

I can speak 3 languages and English is a powerful language to make friends and joining mylot like right now.... My work, i may need English to read documents only... I think it is really good if you can speak many languages, it helps us a lots when traveling and understanding the others cultures.

I can speak three languages fluently .And also i can understand two others. And this has only helped me only when i traveled to the regions that spoke these languages.

I could understand third language named Hindi but difficult to use it to communicate. Sooner I will learn. If we learn that here in India it is well and good to move throughout India. My hubby learned four languages and it is easy for him to communicate with those people easily.
