Dutch,English,German (below average) and French (quite bad but still)
let's see; I can speak and write excellent French, German, Spanish, English, and Japanese. I'm also fluent in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi, since you need at least three languages to be able to communicate with people in my part of the world. (yes, some people don't bother to learn proper English or can't learn it, either, so it's a must really, nothing to be done about it.) I also have a partial working knowledge of Mandarin Chinese and Russian, but memorizing enough symbols to be classed as barely literate broke any further attempts at trying to learn it. Mandarin, I mean. Katakana was bad enough. And just for the hell of it, I also happen to be fairly fluent in both Quenya and Sindarin from my LOTR obsession days.
English and barely enough Russian to get by if I ever went there.
From best to worst; English, Danish, Norwegian, German, Swedish.
Norwegian and English. Quite a lot of Swedish and Danish (duh) Some Icelandic and Faroese I love how "Faroese" is a "misspelled" word in the reply text box :v:
German, English, poor Bosnian and even worse french.
As a Fenno-Swede I speak Swedish as my native tongue but I speak fluent Finnish and English aswell. I understand some Norwegian as well but can't speak it. Danish is fucked up.
English, Chav English, small amounts of German, small amounts of French and a lot'a Russian swear words. Oh, and Stokie slang, hehe.
Swedish, English, learning Japanese, also a little bit of Spanish
English, and a teeny tiny bit of Spanish.

Kanji is kind of important
[QUOTE=Eric95;44980431]Wait, how can you speak and write excellent Japanese if you can't memorize chinese characters, and "katakana was bad enough"? Kanji is kind of important[/QUOTE] I was able to memorize enough to get by, but I tend to not have much trouble as long as most of it is in hiragana. So strictly speaking, my Japanese may have to be relegated to working knowledge as long as I can't remedy that.
I can speak any language, it's just the understanding I can't do.
Portuguese, English, Shit Spanish(i can understand, but i can't "speak" it), and i know like 5 words of German(always been a personal goal to learn German but i just don't have the willpower to do it)
English, Very little French, Extremely little German, And I've very recently started learning Russian. I've got the Cyrillic alphabet basically down to a T (however I struggle with some punctuation) and I also know a bunch of communication and misc phrases etc. I wouldn't say I'm fluent, but I'm having a bunch of fun learning. :v:
Norwegian, English, some Danish and Swedish, a few amount of words Finnish and Russian, and I can understand some basic Spanish sentences if they're spoken slowly/written down.
English, Armenian, Spanish and some Persian =) My Spanish and Persian are the weakest though.
I know some Sign Language and German and a little bit of numerous other languages. Dabbled in Daedric for a few months too.
English and Arabic. While Arabic is my native language, I some what suck at reading and writing with it.
the only language i speak fluently is english but i do know a bit of french that was taught to me at my high school.
English and basic Japanese (as I'm learning it) I used to be able to speak intermediate French and good German, but both are lost in time due to me basically never using either. I can still sorta read German but the only French I know now is "shut the fuck up" and "go fuck yourself".
English. I used to speak Spanish only because it was the only foreign language my school district could afford, and I honestly hated it. I'm not any good at it and it just sounds very ugly to me (sincerest apologies to the native Spanish speakers of Facepunch). I know little bits and pieces of Italian, German, and French. I really want to take some Italian classes in my later years of college, both because my girlfriend finds it to be a very romantic language (and she's jealous of my Italian blood), and in memory of my Nana who passed away at 93 in February, because she spoke Italian fluently when she was much younger.
English and a small amount of Swedish, which I'm working on currently.
English and some Spanish, which I'm not very fond of (this is probably the last year I'll ever spend learning it)
English and German, although I've only studied German for 5 years my friends and I use it almost incessantly outside the classroom
English & Finnish, both equally well/bad Finns are required to learn swedish in school too, but all I know are the numbers.
English, ancient Attic Greek. tho I can functionally read German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Latin.
Dutch, English, German and French
Finnish, Greek, English, Japanese, Swedish
My mother tongue is English but hablo español, je parle le français, Я говорю на русском, 私は日本の非常に少量を話すことができる, 而此刻我在学习普通话的过程 Took so long to configure this keyboard to fucking type that,
