Given that Montreal is a multicultural city, lots of people speak more than one language. However, from the people that I know, I must say that a lot of phonies are out there. I have Arab friends who cannot count to 6 in Arabic and Italian friends who cannot make coherent sentences in Italian. Then, there's all of the North American-born Asians and so forth.
I think that, in order to claim that you speak a language, you should be able to have standard conversations with people and be able to read everything needed for daily life in that given language.
Knowing this, how many languages do you speak (no boasting; remember what happened in the 'how much do you make' thread)?
To be fair to people born and raised here, I have respect for you if you actually got out of your way to learn a language that is not used here.
