If you only speak 1 language, why? You can better yourself for free and learn cool things about other cultures. I can speak English & French, and I'm learning German.

Learning languages is lots of fun. I think I might learn Spanish or Korean next, depending on which country has better racist oi punk bands.

I took 4 years of Latin in high school, so I'm fluent with other people who took 4 years of Latin in high school.

I think it takes a lot more work to become fluent than take some highschool courses. You have to go out and meet people and immerse yourself in other cultures.

I speak like 1.5 languages. I took French for years and years, but it is so rusty from disuse that I wouldn't say I speak it. I can read and understand it pretty well still, though.

I speak 3 languages. 4 if I gave a fat baby gently caress about Italian. 5 if I had married that Portuguese girl with that breathtakingly gorgeous accent.

Someone who speaks 3 languages is called trilingual

Someone who speaks 2 languages is called bilingual

Someone who speaks 1 language is called an American.

I took four years of Japanese in high school. Not because I'm some weaboo anime nerd or whatever, but because I was born in Yokosuka (military parents).
I can ask for essential things: toilet; water; booze. I can say things are delicious. I can say whether I understood the person or not. My terrible understanding and speaking of Japanese was enough for me to ask for directions when I got lost in the Tokyo subway during rush hour.

At what point can you really 'speak' a language... There are words I don't know, so I can't really be as bold as to say I've mastered any language

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

I am a native speaker of English.
I can speak high school French
I can speak Korean OK.
I have the tiniest fragments of Japanese, and Mandarin.

Also I know Hello, Thank You, and some numbers in a bunch of other languages because seriously, who in the gently caress doesn't know what "danke shein" and "bonjourno" etc. means?
