It depends on what you mean by speaking in tongues. If you mean the gibberish that no one can understand, no. If you mean speaking in languages other than one's own, yes. The gift of tongues is often given to missionaries so they can teach the Gospel to other nations.
"And again, it is given to some to speak with tongues; and to another is given the interpretation of tongues. And all these gifts come from God, for the benefit of the children of God."
Doctrine & Covenants 46:24-26

Of course we believe in the gift of tongues as well as all of the other gifts of the spirit (1 Cor. 12) because signs follow those that believe (Mark 16:17).
However, for us, speaking in tongues is not just speaking un-intelligibly. We experience the gift of tongues, primarily, to witness and testify of the Gospel to the building of the Kingdom of God.
Personally, I have lived all over the world for many years. I have experienced the gift of tongues many times. Each time was slightly different, but the result was the same. I was able to communicate my testimony of the Savior with someone, in a language that I did not know. With study, prayer and faith, God has continued to bless me to later learn some of these languages well enough so that I can be a greater tool in his hands. Missionaries also frequently experience the gift of tongues as they travel the world to preach the word.
I hope that this helps you to understand at least one aspect of the Gift of Tongues.

My brother found out Hungarian in 2 months to pass on a project. He speaks like a expert. maximum school classes or extreme college language classes you're able to in no way be conversing everywhere close to that properly after years of learn. it is the present of tongues to me. you're taught by ability of the Spirit to talk yet another language. In my know-how, the present of tongues is given by ability of the capability of the priesthood for a particular purpose, like missionary artwork, and not in basic terms when you consider which you think of it could be cool.

They redefine the word and say that they believe in that. If you were to go to a Mormon church, you would not expect to see the same things going on as with a Pentecostal church.

He may have been referring to the 7th Article of Faith, "We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth."
As others have stated, tongues, or random gobbledy-goop words shouted out in meetings is not a part of our church. But the 'gift of tongues' is very important as our religion spreads worldwide, and people from all around the world travel to share it.

No they don't believe that!!
This is for Personal Trainer:: Mormonism is part of Christianity. They all focus on one thing, salvation from Jesus. The difference is, we believe that the Gospel of Jesus was restored by Joseph Smith.

they believe it's something that was done in the past but it's not practiced today.
And don't listen to the Mormon bashers, Mormons are Christian and believe that Jesus is their personal savior

Mormons believe in tongues, however, since they are not Christian, they are a cult, what ever tongues they speak in is from Satan.
