Russian, English, German(have started to learn).
I want to become a polyglot, so I'll learn some more languages.
For example: Japanese.

Finnish - native
English - 2nd language. Though I read, write and understand it way better than speak. My pronunciation is something between horrible and dreadful. :roll: I really would like to speak it fluently, but I think I'm too afraid to make mistakes when speaking it. That's a bit funny, because when I write English, I really don't mind if I misspel or my word order is incorrect.
Swedish - like almost every Finn. Though I've not studied it since high school (2008), I still can write and understand it pretty good. Also I love to speak it, but sadly I have no swedish friend to chat with.
Spanish - but only a bit and I've forgot almost everything. I might recognize a word here and there, but that's pretty much all. I still think that Spanish is one of the cooles language ever.

Would like to learn
- Practise my Swedish
- Australian english, love that accent!!
- Irish

My native language is Hungarian.
Beside that I speak German, and English, I'm fluent in both languages. I'd like to speak Italian, Spanish and a little bit of Finnish or Swedish would be cool, too.

Mh, let's see-
German is my mother tongue.
English is my second language, I'm pretty fluent at it.
Having Latin at school, but you never speak it. ^^
Had French in school, duh. xD
Learning Spanish.

I'd love to speak Dutch, Finnish, and better Spanish though. And many more, actually, but I pretty surely won't be able to learn them during school. All the subjects which I loathe but still have to slap into my head at school are already stressful enough (;

I've tried learning German as well. I learned Spanish while living in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. So now if I go to Germany I should be able to pick that one up right?

Hmm, let see. I can speak

-Finnish (my native language)
-English (fluently)
-Swedish (a little, but I suck at it :lol: )
-Russian (took few courses at school last year, only the basics and alphabet, cool language though)

Japanese would be fun to be able to speak fluently, I only know some words of it :)

Where Dutch is my native language, I speak English just as well so it wouldn't surprise me if somewhere in my future my parents will announce to me that I'm actually an englishman :P

Other than that I can make myself heard in German decently and can understand some basic French, speaking it isn't really my thing.

I've been to Italy on holiday a few times, so I've picked up some of that and the same goes for Finland. Of course my Finnish friends put most emphasis on teaching me the bad words ;)

Aside from my native, I speak only English, but it's almost perfect.

I'd like to learn all Scandinavian languages and Japanese.
Passion for Japanese is somewhat recent, while I've been fascinated with Scandinavia all my life.

I plan to learn German, Japanese, and Russian in the future. Who knows, I might end up interested in other languages as time passes.

German - native
English - second language...hopefully fluently enough
Latin - almost forgotten all grammar but the meanings of most words are still in my mind

Would like to learn japanese, italian and spanish
some words in japanese have been learned, just not grammar and correct sentences. Keep in mind that there are 3 ways to write it and they have over 500,000 signs!

French - Native

Vietnamese - I understand it very well but for mysterious reasons I can't speak, read or write - just recognize a few words. We use latin alphabet but there are 7 accents that can be combined together. Tough one.

English - My second language. Started learning at 5-something. Many members of my family live in California.

Japanese -Started learning three years ago. I'm on level 3 out of 5 in my school so I'm pretty happy :). And I'm not sure howeve there are 500 000 signs :shock: it's more Chinese. In Japanese they use around 2500 kanjis + all the kana syllables (around 80 maybe)

German -However my German sucks so much... I started learning it when I was 12 but I had horrible teachers... I can only understand/say very simple sentences.

Latin -Not really a language we speak everyday but I still understand sentences whenever I read them.

I can read cyrillic a little bit but since I don't understand anything at all I wouldn't say I speak Russian or Ukrainian :D. I'm going to try to read Korean and my mother will teach me Thai (she speaks 4 languages very fluently). I'd like to learn Chinese, Russian, maybe Spanish and German again (since I often tell people I don't speak German at all). And why not Swedish and Finnish :)

Oh and thanks to Google Translate I know how to say I don't speak Finnish :lol:

I`m from Ukraine (L`viv if to go in details)

I speak:

Ukrainian - that`s my native language.
Russian - actually I read a lot of books in Russian as I was a child and I have to speak a lot using this language so it turns to my second "native".
English - I`m studying it since 6 so now it`s almost 12 years - clos enough to be called native.
German - nicht gut) But I`m gonna refresh my knowledge soon)
Italian - Tried to study it on my own.I can speak only using dictionary :oops:
Polish, Greek - these two languages I can hardly understand and answer.

These I would like to learn - French, Serbian, Latin and so one and one :twisted:

Languages I speak :
Arabic : Native Language.
English : Second Language, but I believe I'm more fluent at it than my native language.

Languages I barely speak :
French : Only alittle bits.
German : Just little bits, I'm still learning. . .
Japanese : Scattered words.

Languages I'd like to learn :
Finnish : For obvious reasons~
Portuguese : A friend of mine speaks it, and it gets me curious sometimes.

Other than those, I probably want to enhance the French, German and Japanese of mine. . .
