You can concatenate character compatible column values using the + operator. In this case you will have to convert the numeric columns to VARCHAR or CHAR
 do the concatenation like:
 
 SELECT Name,
 CAST( English AS VARCHAR(3) ) + SPACE( 1 ) + Name,
 CAST( french AS VARCHAR(3) ) + SPACE( 1 ) + Name,
 ...
 FROM tbl ;
 
 As a side note, depending on your business model, it might be better to
 represent language identifiers in a single column. It is more logical,
 allows easier enforcement of constraints, offers better flexibility in
 general querying and allows you to add more language identifiers in the
 table without altering the schema.
