There are many more than two dialects of English.

To clarify for me, I speak the Queen's English without the accent.

I know a tiny bit of French, but precious little.

And yes, there are different types of English. Just look at the differneces between Ireland, New England, and the Deep South. And there are the Pittsburgh "Younzers." A class all there own... You know you're from Pittsburgh when you pronounce Duquesne as Du-kAne.

Apart from english, I speak french fluently seeing as I live in Quebec (I've been learning it for 11 years! [Since Kindergarten]).

I took spanish for 4 years, but I'm kinda sketch on it.

Im trying to learn Ukrainian seeing as most of my family speaks it. Although I am having trouble since it is completely different from english and french which have many similarities.

So I can kinda speak four, but I more consider myself to be bilingual (English and French)

I speak:

Indonesian - 1st Language
Australian English - Fluently
British English - Slightly fluently
Javanese (Ethnic dialogue) - Basic

Day to day, I speak Australian English with a half British accent, when I'm in Legal studies class I tend to exercise my British English. But when I'm at home I talk to my mother in Indonesian and a bit of Javanese.
