I only can speak English fluently, but in junior high I took French and enjoyed learning it. In high school I took Spanish and while I enjoyed it found it difficult to learn a new language. Learning a new language really makes you appreciate what people have to go through to learn English which I heard is one the most difficult languages  to learn. Even if I hear someone speaking broken English I still appreciate them being bilingual because I struggled so hard learning new languages.

I hope you are able to learn Urdu. Good luck to you.  :thumbsup:

English is my first and only fluent language.  I was pretty okay with both Spanish and Russian at earlier points in my life.  Now, I'm very out of practice with both, but would like to brush up on my Russian again as I really liked that language.

I took Spanish for 5 years and German for 3. I cannot speak either very well, although I can understand it pretty well if it spoken slow enough and I could get by if I had to.

due to dating a Ghanaian lady, I have picked up quite a bit of Akan and pidgin English, and I also know Espanol, some French, German, Italian, and Polish. the other name for Akan
is Twi, but my main language is English. I would love to learn a bit of Yoruba, which is one of the native languages of Nigeria, and Hausa, which is spoken by both Nigerian and Ghanaian
people. the people in Cote d'Ivoire speak French. Cote d'Ivoire is French for Ivory Coast. Ghana, which is next to Cote d'Ivoire, used to be the Gold Coast until March 6, 1957.

The only language I am fluent in is English.

I took Spanish in high school, but I didn't keep up with it and I've forgotten most of it.
I also took one semester of American Sign Language in College and it's so much fun. I really want to pick it up and learn more.
