    Only English, fluently. My Japanese is good enough that I can play Japanese games and chat online with people in Japanese without them realizing I'm not fluent.

    I'm fluent in French as well as English.

    I'm pretty good in Spanish, having learned pretty much all the useful verb tenses. I'm missing some vocabulary though.

    I'm getting somewhere (I think?) in German, but slowly. I finished my first year of German and it's SO HARD. Now I realize what others go through when they learn French. I admit that our grammar rules as well as our past participles are pretty much nonsense.

    I'm also trying to learn Italian, which is easy when you know French and Spanish.
    Ex: Mercredi + Miércoles = Mercoledi I find it pretty awesome, to be honest.

    Fluent in English and German. Can speak Afrikaans quite well but not fluently....my vocabulary is still lacking. I wish I could speak Japanese or any other asian language.

    YuriCore did you teach yourself Japanese or did you Itake classes? Either way it was probably a lot of work.:thumbsup:

    5. Finnish, Turkish, English, German and Swedish, in order of fluency. I've taken Japanese classes and I know a little bit, but not enough to count. My Swedish and German aren't as great as they used to be, I should take a few classes again. I've tried to learn French and Portuguese through Duolingo but I definitely need a teacher and a social atmosphere to really learn.

    Teaching myself through the Internet. There's a place nearby where I can take classes, but I'm nervous to go because it's mostly adults. >.<

    I'm only fluent in English, but I know some basic Spanish from 8th grade. I can say a few very basic words and phrases in Russian and German (like 'guten tag' or 'da svidanya'), which is going to change since I'm taking both in high school. This is kind of off-topic since it's only written, but I can write a variation of ancient Anglo-Saxon runes pretty fluently. :lol:

    Two. I can speak Dutch and English and I can kind of read German (since it's often similar to Dutch) but I can't actually write or speak German, I should probably work on that lol

    And I'm trying to teach myself Korean... >_<

    "Guten Tag" is German tho ;p

    Just English. I didn't have to take a language in high school because it was alternative and I dropped out pretty early anyway.

    I speak English and understand a moderate amount of German. I can't speak it very well, but I can read it online.

    Used to chat to a few Germans, got bored, and got curious how the language worked.
