Well then.
I speak English and Danish fluently, also a little German, but I don't speak it very often.

I can speak English (naturally), French, and Irish (yep, I'm Irish).
Also, I know how to program in Scratch. Sure that means fuck all, but damn it if I can fit another language in here all the better!
I´m from Germany and I speak German (duh) and English (also duh). Also, I was required to take five years of French (or Latin, alternatively), but I was pretty bad at it. I understand some and I might have enough of a vocabulary left for some very basic communication, but my grammar sucks.
Dutch (mother language)
English (near perfect)
French (reasonable)
German (it's very similar to dutch)
Also snippets of japanese, latin etc. but let's be honest, who doesn't?
And I didn't even major in languages. Aah the joys of living in a country that is barely large enough to show on a world map, yet somehow sports 3 languages.
Unless when you are still learning them in school. Than it SU*KS.
I lost count of how many times some douche in an online game thought he was smart insulting me in his own language only to have me zing him IN HIS OWN LANGUAGE.
Also, parenting pro tip: English cartoons with subtitles. Dutch is not exactly a world language so most television companies don't bother dubbing English shows but just add subtitles instead. The same goes for most games.
Through the combination of hearing the English and reading the subtitles most kids here are already pretty decent at English before they even get English classes in school. Seriously, English teacher is like the easiest job ever here.
It works for any language as long as it's a show/game the kid actually wants to see/play, that way they won't get sick of it even though they are learning as if they were studying. If that's not real life hax I don't know what is.
It works best for kids but it can be done at any age. A few years ago I bought a strategy game in Germany (it was way cheaper than back home) and after playing it for a few months my German improved dramatically. And I'm not even very good at languages.

English and a little bit of Japanese. I took three years in high school.
Once I start college I plan on majoring in another language, just haven't decided yet.

Fluent in English and Portuguese. Portuguese's my mother tongue, and I'd say I speak English just as well.
Other than that, I know some basic Japanese and German, the latter of which I'm working on currently. And I also know a bit of French, which I had 3 years of in school, but I wasn't all that interested back then and most of it has been forgotten. Furthermore, I know a bit of Spanish, which comes easy for me because, on the overall, it's close to Portuguese.

But no Danish eh?DanielBrown said:
I see, I get the picture :-(

I take courses in Spanish because immigration is a factor, both illegal and otherwise, and because it helps with my English grammar. So I can speak it fairly well, but she still hasn't taught us the word for "translator", which is the only sentence I need to know.
