I speak French and German since birth, so I am very good at those (verbally, don't ask about grammar though ^^") , been learning English for 12 years now and have reached a level where I feel very comfortable speaking and apparently managed to drop my German accent aswell, which is cool ^^

Apart from that I am currently in my second year of larning Slovenian abd am according to my slovenian friends doing very well at that too^^
 
I speak two languages fluently, Norwegian and English. Norwegian is my mother tounge. I used to learn Spanish in secondary school, but I forgot most of it.

I remember some basic sentences like:
Como estas?
Como te llamas?
Mi compleanos es el veinte trece de agosto
And I can count to 20 and know some grammar rules about verbs.

I speak English and Japanese fluently, with Japanese being my first language and English being the second. However, it seems that I have an accent when I speak English for countless people have told me that I sound as if I'm from the UK. I can't tell for sure if I really do sound like that since I have heard myself talk my entire life and I don't notice it. I have no interest in learning other languages so I don't know many words of any other language.
 
The only language I'm really fluent at is English (obvious statement is rather obvious), while I was rather proficient in the basics of German until I dropped it a couple of years ago. I can probably also manage several words and lines of Japanese and Cantonese. :3
 
I'm fluent in English as it's the language I grew up speaking and I live in one of the English speaking regions. I went to an all Irish primary and secondary school so I can speak Irish as fluently as I can speak English. It's been awhile since I used it though so it has gotten a tad rusty
 
I've learned a good deal of Spanish in the past few years because of my geographical location. I understand something like 80% of what's said to me verbally but I have some trouble actually speaking it sometimes. I'd say I can only speak with about 50% fluency.

I'm really good with the accents too. My S.O. says I could pass for a Mexican. :D
He's really cultural and has a broad knowledge of regional dialects. So he's good with Salvadorian, Mexican, Honduran, Peruvian, Argentinian, etc...But for now he's helping me to gather the basics.

My mother in law speaks predominately to me in Spanish, which has really helped with my vocabulary. She only throws in English words when I can't figure something out.
 
I speak English, and Latin. (Not fluent in Latin, but I can make out what you say to me and I can respond in a few seconds)

I am going to learn Japanese sometime soon.
 
Háu!

English and some Lakȟóta, which I'm learning more of everyday. Its a very beautiful language, plus its polite. :)

Šuŋgmánitu tȟáŋka ȟóta waŋži luhá he? Haŋ, Šuŋgmánitu tȟáŋka ȟóta waŋ bluhá!

(Learning to form questions and to answer them. Russian, Arabic and Tibetan next! xD)

EDIT:
Do conlangs count? Or Esperanto?
 
I studied Korean and Japanese for most of my life.
I've been learning Russian for the past 5 years.
I was brought up to know French and Spanish.
And I really want to learn Egyptian. :3
 
I'm a native Spanish speaker, so if anyone wants to practice the language im at your service, ;)
I know my English sucks, but I can perfectly understand it and can also have a decent conversation in English... or at least, I guess so.
 
I'm a native spanish speaker, and learned english from a very early age, though I'm not as good as I'd like to be, sometimes my english gets screwed up very badly.

I'm currently taking french classes, and I know bit of italian. But I'm not excellent with both those languages.
 
Currently, I can only speak English and Swedish fluently. My parents refused to speak in English, so I was forced to learn Swedish. I'm going to try to learn Japanese soon, I just need to find the time to learn a new language.
 
I know how to read, speak, and write Spanish, English, and Japanese. Although I'm still learning English and it's not so well. ^^;
 
Just the one: English. I envy those who are bilingual. I'd love to speak French and Chinese. :) Both languages sound beautiful. Furthermore, I love France as a country and love what the Japanese produce (games, anime, manga). If I ever visit Japan, I imagine I will love it there too. :)
 
I can read, speak, and write in English and Spanish (living in Arizona pretty much ensures that). I can speak Vietnamese and read it if I sound everything out slowly. Like many others here, I hope to be able to speak Japanese someday. Maybe I'll even be able to play a Final Fantasy game in its native language lol.
 
English native, and the only other one is a fan-made language but given it's structure based entirely around expressing emotions, I treat it as my second language. It's called Hymmnos.

A little sample of my usage of that language:


Was ki ra ini yanyaue dsier
Was num ra manafeeze ar ciel rol yanyaue sor
Nuih, rre sallogna shukra sabl..murfanare yor

I will concentrate on initializing this important desire..
Nothing in the world is more important to me than that..
Each night, I lay down in pure sands..I’d think of you..
