Well, since the Romans mainly spoke Latin, and their slaves were majorly from their own residents, the slaves most likely spoke Latin. If they were from outside of Rome, they probably spoke Greek.

You just say - "I speak four languages" ...?It would be good if you use the one the other person speaks and understands._________You DO see the wonderful irony in your question... right?______________Try to work it into the conversation gradually. Wait until the person brings up a topic related to languages, other countries, or travel. Then mention that you speak a particular language. When the other party acknowledges that, you can add "and I speak three others". You don't want to sound full of yourself or pretentious by just blurting it out, but don't let yourself be passed over because you couldn't find the right opportunity to reveal a valuable personality asset.______________Throw in something like:'IK Parle Cuatro Languages'(I(in dutch) Speak(in French) Four(in spanish) Languages(in english)
