I can speak Swedish, Finnish, English and German. My Finnish is quite horrible though, I really need to improve it.

I'm terribly sorry, but I want to correct that fact. (you know how rude the Dutch can be)
The northern part of Belgium does speak a form of Dutch, but it isn't called that way. It's Flemish. Also the southern region in Belgium speaks Wallonian, a form of French. I can't tell the difference between Wallonian and French, but I do know the difference between Dutch and Flemish.

Still, I thought that not many Belgians spoke German.

Native English speaker. I like to think I speak it better than most other native English speakers (at least the American ones).

I also studied German for two years (but that was three years ago- my little bit of German is very rusty), just completed my third year of Latin (because fuck you, usefulness), and have studied a wee bit of Icelandic on the side. And have an interest in learning a bit of Hungarian.

German is my mother tongue and you start to learn English in 5th grade. But to pass the final secondary-school examinations you have to learn a third language. It was Spanish for me.
So I speak German and English fluently and Spanish just good enough to understand it.
I also took French lessons in 7th grade, but I can't speak it anymore past "Je ne sais pas", or "Je ne parle pas francais"

Once had German for a year in school.

Polish is my native, I know English on Advanced English level (Second Certificate), Spanish on an Intermediate level and I used to know a lot of German, but I thank YourChosenEntity I remember about... 5% of what that.

I can also understand Russian a bit, even the letters, I can communicate with people from the south (Czechs and Slovakians) and I understand some words in Japanese.

Oh, and I "understand" French and Italian, but kill me, I can't say a word in those languages. I just understand them, same as with the Czech and Slovakian languages.
