    Why? I haven't had it tested, but some louche internet-test a couple of years ago told me I'm a 186. Ridiculous, naturally.

    IQ tests are passe.

    Seriously. They don't measure anything useful, really. And they're rendered totally moot by the theory of multiple intelligences.

    languages

    I'm going back a few pages here but I've been away. Just to point out that I say that here you could ask someone if they speak Irish and it's fine to put it that way - just remember it's 'slainte' instead of 'cheers' in the pub. We have an prominent Irish language T.V. station which gets good ratings & there are a lot of Irish language learning / travel programmes. There's an Irish Language Cafe in the city. Probably not much chance of a huge revival but it's plodding along well. Strangely I have different people say that when spoken fluently it doesn't sound altogether dissimilar from Russian. Anyway my native language is Irish. I speak English and am improving in Russian.

    I'm only fluent in english and bahasa Indonesia (for nation wide language). Knows a little bit of arabic. But for tribal language with small amount of active speaker back in my hometown (you may call it a bit ancient language), I'm fluent in three of them. Another joke, I'm fluent in three non-human language . The last three are computer languages. Actually I know 4, but the last one I consider is a toy language. The computer languages are C, C++, and Assembly language .

    How old are u?

    Hey guys why don’t you also tell us you age?
    It amazes me that some of you know so many languages. I want to know several foreign languages too. So could you tell your age? That would give me some ideas how long it takes to be more or less fluent in several languages.
    Russian is my native language, and I’m okay in English (I’ve been living in America for three years). And I’m only 23 (or maybe I should say I’m already 23

    hey, i just happened to glance in this forum... It was a surprise to see someone who speaks Indonesian! It was one of my first languages (along with English) but I haven't spoken it for so long, that I've pretty much forgotten it. I'm only fluent in English, and I know some Russian and French.
