@Eve: you mentioned both Conan knowing Arabic if the plot demands it and Conan learning stuff in Hawaii.

I don't think Conan can speak all these languages ^^
He know some words but that don't mean that he can speak them  (the languages ^^). Me too I know some words, I did at school English, German, Spanish, Ancient Greek but I don't speak very well these languages. (i can do sentences but...lol)
For me, it's easy that "oro" means gold because "oro (Italien)","or(French)" looks alike :p

I hope that my English is understandable XD  :)

Conan doesn't strike me as the type who'd watch television, unless he's watching a soccer match.  He strikes me as being more so an avid reader than anything else.

As for the language thing, I just always felt that he only knew Japanese and English fluently, and about other languages, only not fluent.  For instance, I know some Spanish, but, I'm not fluent.  I can't hold a conversation in Spanish (not too much, anyway).  I know some German words and some French phrases too, but not fluent in either.  That kind of thing.  That's how I view Shinichi...knowing some of other languages, but not fluent in them.

I don't think he really speaks French or Italian, at least it hasn't been confirmed.

Yusaku speaking Portuguese doesn't seem likely either, he probably just spoke English with the guy.

As far as the movies are concernec:
He doesn't seem to speak Spanish (Movie 11)
IF he can read the Russian alphabet, then he's not proficient. The had Sergey type Волшебник конца века.




Why the heck would Yusaku speak English with a Brazilian ? :(

Why not? He's more likely to understand English than Japanese.

Yeah, but Yusaku doesn't. :P If I were to meet someone from Brazil, I'd try speaking English with them.
