Fluently, I only speak boring old English as a native language. Damn you USA.
However, I am learning Spanish and am my 4th year, so I can understand people pretty well and hold a basic conservation.

English, German, Norwegian(thus also Danish and Swedish), Dutch, some Romanian, some Latin, learning basic Swahili.
My father is some what of a "small scale celeberty" and travels a lot and in that way brings back home a great aspect of different cultures and languages.

I speak Danish, English and German fluently.
I understand Swedish and Norwegian (Bokmål)
I speak Spanish at a tourist level.
I used to speak a little Japanese, but a lack of use has made me forget most of it.
Edit: Ooh! I can swear in Arabic, and order a beer in Hungarian (barely).

English
and some Spanish. I just suck at it. So rather then keep practicing I just kinda work off the stuff I know.
It'll be nice to understand it fully one day

I know English and enough Spanish to get by, maybe.
But I've thought about learning Russian, just for fun.

English and approximately four phrases of French (protip: don't try to learn French from an easily distracted Newfie). Plan to take classes in German and American sign language sometime soonish.
I guess I'm the second (or fourth, whatever)Neonbob said:
I only understand English. I took 2 years of Spanish but I didn't listen in class so that doesn't count.
I am trying to learn Japanese at the moment, but so far I can only read (sound out) Hiragana and don't know any vocab or Kanji.
Awesome, someone else who actually speaks that dialect. That may have been my first language, but I don't know quite enough to hold conversation. It's only enough to help around the house and basic speech. I'm proficient in English (of course), and have a somewhat decent thing for Spanish (but it's falling apart). I know a some basic phrases and words in Japanese and Vietnamese (product of anime and family, respectively)crimsonyte said:Just out of curiosity, how many languages can the individual members of the escapist speak/understand? I'm pretty sure there's a lot of bilingual people here if not trilingual. How did you go about learning the language? I have a few friends who learned the language just by watching a crap load of movies/series. They speak funny when they use the language (a lot of slangs) but regardless, they picked it up. Currently, I'm trying to match my parents, they speak 5 languages
I know 2 languages proficiently (English and Chieu-Chow(country dialect in China (<--anybody else know this language =p ))) and can partially understand 3 others, if spoken slowly to (Mandarin, Cantonese, Spanish). English/Chieu-Chow are my native languages used when growning up. Mandarin, Cantonese and Spanish I've picked up from spending time with friends and friend's family.
