"Se eu falasse chinês, poderia falar com muita gente."

Translation: If I spoke Chinese, I could speak with a lot of people.

[andreaparker]

Doesn't the English need: ' would be able to speak....' rather than ' would speak....' ?

[G.P.Niers]

Yes, of course. Or: ‘...could speak with...’

[KTKee-EnglishEng]

"If I could speak Chinese, I would be able to talk to many people." (failed) It said I was missing a word?

[Freddy22768]

Thank you very much emeyr,
That was very helpful

[Guy676145]

Speak to many people is better English than speak with

[emeyr]

Both are correct. "Speak with" is often used because it sounds more interactive while "speak to" can imply a one-way conversation.

[Freddy22768]

I have a general question regarding "falasse". In my grammar book there is no construction of "falar which becomes "falasse". I only have "falaria" (futuro/conditional) or fale (conjunctivo presente).
Can anybody please enlighten me there

[Rafdude]

Incorrect sentence. There is no "Chinese" language. Could choose to say Mandarin, Cantonese, or something else that would teach us what to actually say in Portuguese.
