Including your native tongue, how many languages do you speak well enough to read a newspaper or have a conversation with another person in that language?
(Please consider multiple dialects of the same language that can be mutually understood as one language, whereas those that cannot be mutually understood -- such as Cantonese and Mandarin -- count as two languages.)
5 - Albanian, Swedish, Finnish, English and German.
How many do you speak yourself?
I just speak 2: English and Spanish. But I hope to make it 3 by summer; I'm working hard on Turkish for a trip to Turkey to visit my daughter. I can also read Koine Greek, but nobody actually speaks it anymore.

Wow! Admirable. I like it how other people can speak "dead" languages, but wouldn't have the patience or motivation to learn one myself.
I hope you'll make it to visit your daugther! It's also easier when people around you speak just that language and you have no other choice than to learn it. But these days quite a lot of people know enough English, especially in Turkey?

Although I speak quite a few languages I am only listing the 5 I am most comfortable in carrying on a conversation in. Although I do not write very well in any language.
