The common joke with my friends from Europe:
Someone who speaks many languages: Multi-Lingual
Someone who speaks three languages: Tri-lingual
Someone who speaks two languages: Bi-Lingual
Someone who speaks one language: Anglophone
My french professors response:
Europeans are fond of saying that they can speak 5 languages. Now if they didn't speak them all at once, someone might be able to make out what they were saying.
