How many languages do you speak, read or understand?

Good morning! We haven't done this in a while, but let's start this week with a little experiment! I'm curious to find out how many languages are spoken within the Spot Schiphol community!

Schiphol is home to a number of multinational companies – either Dutch in origin or international concerns which have established regional headquarters at the airport. And I would love to find out how many languages we speak all together!

Who would like to start? :-)

Update 27 October: together we speak 19 languages and Kattuks (a Dutch dialect from Katwijk).

- Arabic
- Afrikaans
- Chinese
- Czech
- Danish
- Dutch
- English
- Finnish
- French
- Frysk
- (Swiss) German
- Greek
- Indonesian
- Italian
- Papiamento
- Portuguese
- Russian
- Spanish
- Swedish

Hola, no solo el Holandes, yo tambien hablo Espanol, el Chino, inglis y aleman. For now i am learning Norwegian and Arabic. The reason why is because in Holland and other foreign countries all these languages are spoken.

In addition to the languages already mentioned I would like to add Swiss German, a dialect which is even by German natives hardly understood.
