English (fluent), Spanish, and German.  I took Spanish in grade school, and two years of German in high school.  My hometown is dominated by German ancestry, and many of the old timers here still speak a Low German dialect.  I still like to practice my Spanish and German from time to time, and I sometimes think I might like to learn French as well.

Danish, English, Norwegian, German, Spanish and Swedish. I have been taught a bit of Latin, but it never stuck. I can read some French and Italian.

I'm not remotely fluently in anything other than English.

I know a smattering of German, French, Spanish, Esperanto, and ASL.

English is the only language that I'm fluent in.  I know several words in Spanish, but I'm nowhere close to understanding the language, especially when it's spoken.

     English is my native language. I have some understanding of French and German. I have a hard time dealing with native speakers, but I am otherwise reasonably proficient.

I'm fluent in English, as that is my native language. I have a roughly intermediate understanding of Spanish (the easiest part for me is reading, while listening is toughest). I definitely would like to take my knowledge of the language to full fluency.

It's one of my personal goals to become at least trilingual (the above plus Japanese).

English and I know enough Spanish to know I don't know any Spanish.  And those words in German that are almost exactly like the English version (there is a bunch), yeah, I know those too!

Well I feel that I'm well versed in English for a non-native
Medan svenska såklart är mitt modersmål
Dansk og norsk forstår jeg godt
Und ich spreche ein bisschen Deutsch

So five languages, although it's obviously just the two first ones that I'm fluent in.

Engligh, plus I've look classes in Latin and Arabic. I guess you could say I'm somewhat familiar with French (being from south Louisiana).

English and Spanish.

I can read Italian and French pretty well (enough to read a newspaper decently well or a novel with some difficulty), but I couldn't have much of a conversation in either of these languages beyond discussing present situations, so I just voted the first two.

I can't imagine what Louisiana-French sounds like. Wink

French - I was recently in Paris and managed to converse decently with the restaurant and airport employees.

Spanish - I can read it and if I speak slowly and gather my thoughts I can speak it, but I'm sorry to say that if a native speaker talks to me (especially from Mexico), I stare blankly and say, "Mas despacio, por favor."

Fluent English and some light conversational German. Tried to learn Finnish a couple of years ago but it never came to fruition.

Besides my native tongue (English, believe it or not), I learned Spanish and Latin.  Or at least I tried to.  Tongue

Japanese as well, but I forgot everything I learned when we left the country twenty years ago.
