Doesn't English work for most situations if spoken loudly enough?

  1. English.

  2. Just enough French to be mocked in France. They are such jerks.

English native, Russian for work, and Spanish with the in-laws and neighbours. I know enough Welsh and Irish to make the natives uneasy, and did several years of French and German at school, meaning I can do the old "could you tell me the way to the railways station?" routine reasonably well. Ah, sometimes I work in Italian too, thanks to my Castilian and dimly remembered piano lessons. Allegro ma non troppo, ragazza mia!

I speak Swedish, Finnish, English and German. I can speak some French too but it's far from fluent

And yeah, I understand spoken Norwegian and I'm able to comprehend written texts in both Norwegian and Danish.

I speak German and English fluently.

I have had some training in French, but my instructor was gruesome and I could not utter a sentence of it when I last went to Alsace; written French is is somewhat easier for me to comprehend.

If I stare for a long enough period of time at a work written in a language like Dutch or Danish, I can infer enough from cognates to understand generally what is being said. With my bad ears, listening to them produces the effect that I ought to be able to understand them. Happily most of these people already speak one of my better languages.

I have been dabbling half-heartedly in Esperanto for several months.
