In my opinion he can only speak Japanese and English. Even if he could read some French, Spanish or Russian words that doesn't mean that he can actually speak those languages.

Well, literally saying, Conan can probably speak every single language he's been translated into. And so can Ran. And Haibara. And Tagaki. And Sato. And Meguire. And the Detective Boys..... Every single character in the DC series, really.
Given an infinite universe and infinite time, all things will happen. That means that every event is inevitable, including those that are impossible.

Thought not :P Because English has some Germanic roots, you can guess bits of it... I never actually studied German either, but it came up in History a lot because we studied the political climate of Europe from 1919-1939, and funnily enough Germany featured heavily in that :P

Not that it makes you fluent, but it helps you guess.

I'm sure he knows Hawaiianese (not ÅŒlelo Hawai). In that language, the speaker learns everything he needs about any other languages as well as various other skills, or at least he learns how to to tell himself he learned it in Hawaii and wills it so much it becomes true.

German cuz he knows a quote in German and how to count in it

Russian because

Welcome to the forums.

A couple of warnings.

1) Don't revive threads that have been dead for years.

2) Instead of double posting, we encourage that you combine your posts together (copy and past the second post into the first one)

And such, I'll lock this thread. If you want to talk about it, choose another existing thread such as the movie discussion thread.

Have a good time here.
