I know English, German, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish. I can read and understand Pennsylvania Dutch pretty well, but can't really speak it. I'm studying French now too.
English, Turkish, and a bit of French.
I'm in the US, if that makes a difference. I'd hope not, but I've met way too many people who can barely speak English correctly, let alone any other language.

It must suck to learn, but you'd never have to worry about job security - we're going to be needing Farsi interpreters for a long time. Honestly, either that, Arabic, or Mandarin are probably your best bets if you're going to learn a language and you're seeking a career. Only problem is, they're all really hard...and Mandarin is supposed to be the hardest language on the planet.Jack the Potato said:

I also just finished Spanish 101 and am going to Spanish 201 next semester.

That might be true for a linguist, but for me personally it means that whenever I have to deal with Dutch people, there is a whole array of words I can't use. That's why I count it as a different language on this list.freaper said:
And didn't you forget a 0 after that 50? If anything, they grew closer the last 50 years.

English and Spanish. I'll be taking a French course next year in school and learning Japanese after I graduate.
This might be the highest concentration of German speakers I've ever run into...
that said, I speak English and German fluently.

I'm Swedish aka fluent in that. Thus i can also understand Danish and Norweigan seeing how they are similiar.
Fluent in English, the majority of all the music/movies/tv/books/games i consume are in English.
I can read German, understand most of it and speak a few sentences.
I can understand and read a little bit of french, aswell as speak a few common phrases.

English and Dutch fluently, German takes a bit more work but when I get in to it I can have almost any conversation without much trouble.
I also used to be able to speak a good word of French but while I still know almost all the important grammar rules my vocabulary has diminished dramatically.

Going into second year spanish, but I passed a distric spanish equivalency test that's based off the one they give to adults in New York, so I think I know a bit.
