Above is a list of the top 100 World languages ranked by number of speakers.
Which ones can you speak or write or read enough to be considered proficient in? Basically, conversationally. It need not be fluent, but you need to know more than how to count to 5 and ask where the bathroom is.
Hindi, English, Punjabi and Urdu.
Spanish, English and Catalan.
My written French is much better than my spoken French, I murder both grammar and pronunciation (and I’m currently working on both, this post comes from France); I don’t really speak Italian but I can make do with Itagnolo… thing is, I’m not sure I can count to five in Italian, but I do know how to explain to somebody that he needs to click on the clock.
From Wiki: “Konkani… has approximately 3.6 million speakers”
And yet Hebrew(“Modern Hebrew is spoken nowadays by about seven million people”) is not on the list?
Where did you get this list from?
Your poll makes me look monolingaul! :o
ETA: D’oh! Missed the “Other” option… :smack: sorry.
Anyway, since I can’t change my vote, please imagine I voted English and Other(Hebrew)
English and Spanish. Wifey (not a Doper, but a Doper enabler): English, Tamil, and Indonesian/Malay.
English and German. I learned French in school, but I was always better with it on the page than speaking it, and once I moved to Germany, my French withered away.
English and Spanish, the two most useful here in California 
I can muddle my way through with (Brazilian) Portuguese speakers, and understand the gist of written French and Italian, but am not confident enough in them to converse.
I’ll claim English and hope nobody disputes my claim.
Just English. I can understand more German than I speak but wouldn’t feel comfortable carrying on a conversation.
I’d like to learn Finnish, but I think I’m too old :(.
English and passable Spanish. Not fluent, but I can make myself understood and can understand fairly well. Reading, no problem.
I can, however, say “May I have another beer” in about 15 different languages.
English, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati,Tamil, Malayalam.
I was surprised Hebrew wasn’t on the list either as I’d have definitely listed (and clicked) that. But according to ANOTHER list on Wiki, Konkani has 7.4 million speakers so one would assume Hebrew to be, like, #101.
FTR, here’s the list:
I checked off Russian, even though I’m still taking classes and am not anywhere remotely conceivably close to being fluent. I can have conversations beyond, “Pardon me, where is the museum?” but they’re basically limited to: going to school, our families, and our homes and the contents within. I was just excited to add another language to my list!

I’ll just (more or less) post my response here from the same topic we had last year.
On a scale of from 1 (least proficient) to 10 (most proficient)
English - 9.0 (I believe my command of English is much better than average but, as with most things, can always be improved.)
Spanish - 7.5 (Thanks primarily to my wife, who’s a native Spanish speaker)
Japanese - 6.0 (After more than three years of classes and tutors, the money I’ve spent has finally begun to pay off)
**French - 3.5 **(Other than work trips to Paris, I have little occasion to use my French anymore, and am beginning to lose it)
German - 3.0 (Went to a German grammar school for a few years when my dad was stationed in Nuremberg. Learned the language through necessity/school requirements. Haven’t used it in years)
Hebrew - 1.5 (Began learning to impress a Jewish Yemeni girl I eventually dated whose first language was Hebrew, but had passable English. Two years later we broke up and I haven’t cracked a Hebrew book since)
Polish, Spanish, German and English
I speak English natively and I am more or less fluent in Spanish.
English and French.
French and English. Not very exciting.
Just English
