Native French & English; fluent German; moderate Spanish; basic Russian; passing familiarity with Mandarin Chinese, and I once took a course in Finnish, but that's mostly gone.

I was about to say that as a BBC, it should be obvious what languages I speak, though I'm shocked by how many there are that don't speak Chinese of one persuasion or another...

Anyway: English; Cantonese; Japanese; casual German; even more casual French; and bullshit.
Ha yeah I'm one of them. My reason for not speaking Chinese (Cantonese) properly was that my parent didn't send me to this Chinese speaking school when I was little althought my older brother did get to go there (it was something about this great teacher left by the time I was in the right age).
Anyway my main language is English and abit of Chinese.

Resent the remark about Welsh. 611,000 people speak it. That's the size of a small town. It's also a beautiful language. Horrendous to write, but pretty. It's also a somewhat inbred cousin to Breton.

Try learning Mandarin, if you can learn something with such strange Grammar as German (not offense to them, but what's with the placement? It's torture) and actually consider learning Welsh, you can learn Mandarin.

Ah, but I am actually welsh. Just never learned it, living in england. So that's my main reason for learning it. I didn't actually check how many people could speak it, so I do resent the first statment.... But mandarin... Eh, I'm more attached to wales. It's closer. And home.

I'm from The Netherlands. I speak Dutch (obviously), English (fluently) and German (pretty good as well).

I could speak some limited french if I wanted to, but I genuinly hate the language so I'm actively trying to forget the language. xD (long story).

I speak English and Danish fluently. I can understand and talk with Swedes and Norwegians because the language is so similar.
Other than that I can get by in Maori (New Zealand's national language), German and Thai.

English be my mother tongue, as you can tell.

I used to be able to hold a(admitadely pretty stunted)conversation in French, but I think 10 years with no practice of that has blown it. I know select bits of German too.

English, from England.

Some forgotten GCSE-level Spanish, Latin and Ancient Greek
Even less-than-that French
