So 8. 10 is not very high. I'd have Arabic too, but I can only get to 5 :)

Edit: I can speak 3 of them, 2 passably, English natively. I took 5 of them in school. I had a Rammstein phase. 17 years Karate. And I dated a Hong Kong girl for 6 years and her family liked to play mah-jong but didn't speak English.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 (cheating)

Portuguese, English, Japanese, German and in a good day, Spanish.

Portuguese is native; English and Japanese I learned from consuming content in those languages; German comes from my family (though I recently started studying it too). And Spanish because it's very similar to Portuguese so I just need to remember the differences.

I can count to ten in more language than I am able to speak (I just love learning stuff):

Can count above ten:
German (native), English, Norwegian, Romanian, Russian, Japanese

Can count only up to ten:
French, Polish, Mandarin

I am learning Romanian at the moment, those are 0-10: zero,
unu/ una,
doi/ două,
trei,
patru,
cinci,
șase,
șapte,
opt,
nouă,
zece

Five.

Lol do we count swedish, norweigan and danish as different languages? Btw other languages are my two native ones: hungarian and english, and then i know spanish because i had it in highschool and i lived 4 months there(cant really speak it anymore sadly) and then croatian because i had one if my friends teach it to me. I used to know some japanese but i also forgot that so without that the total is 5 i guess.

Bonus answer: as for everyday counting i do it either in hungarian or english so no i dont count in my non-native languages. My brain gets fried if i try to do maths for example in swedish. If i do english maths its no problem but i still prefer hungarian when i do large calculations without any paper.

4: English (native), Spanish (learned at school and 1-10 is about all I recall), Mandarin, and Japanese.

I can do it in English, Greek, German, Czech, Italian, Dutch, and Spanish (but I only speak the first 3)

German, Cantonese, mandarin, English, French.

I used to know in Swahili too, does that count ?

Turkish, English, German, Greek, Kurmanji, Japanese

English, French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, and Japanese. Nothing special tbh.

Four. Sign language, Mandarin + Mandarin hand signs, Spanish, English - and yes, I do use the other languages to entertain myself.

Currently it's only English and Japanese. At one point I looked up how to count to ten in French, but I clearly don't remember it. I can also count to seven in Chinese (pitch probably incorrect) because of a song that starts off counting and stops at seven for whatever reason.

Though if we're counting writing, I'd be obligated to add Chinese because, at the very least, 1-10 in Japanese and Chinese are the same for just the numbers alone.
