The problem is that there is no best answer all of them are fairly equal ,unless some guy comes in and say that he speaks 20 languages.Then it's the best.
I speak 2 fluently ,English and Romanian ,and some others less fluently

I speak English, French and Spanish plus more than a smattering of a few others, including Italian and Russian.
Just a word of caution: the results of this mini survey will not indicate how many languages most people speak, rather the average number of languages spoken by people that go into Y!A Soc. & Culture/Languages.

Fluent in French, English and Cantonese. Use to be fluent in German but havent spoken it in over 14 years. Average in Italian and Spanish, but usually manage to get what I want. Beginning to learn Hebrew.
To California-Roxstar, fluency in 3 languages by age 13 is not outstanding anymore. At least in Asia, kids of mixed parents will usually speak at least 3 languages by that age and in French school education by that age you have to be learning 2 foreign languages (1st one at 11, 2nd on at 13). 15 years ago I might tell you you were original, today, you're in the lot of "normal" ppl.
