Native English speaking, with broken Spanish, passable American Sign Language, and a passing familiarity with Japanese, as well as a smattering of a handful of other major languages - (One or two phrases in French and German, I can figure out most Latin given time, And, like, two words in Russian)

Native English speaker but I also speak French. I would like to learn an other language or two but I'm just so lazy that I haven't gotten around to it yet.

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...
They better not be aimed at me ! :p Not my fault my mum didn't teach me...

OT: English. :(

English and Australian. And yes, they are different languages. :D

I'm starting to learn Gaelic too.
Which type of Gaelic? I am assuming Scottish, but I can never be too sure. I am studying that and Welsh myself.
Irish Gaelic. Not sure exactly how different they are. Maybe I'll dabble in Scottish afterwards as well.
They are quite different. The pronunciation and vocabulary varies to such a degree that they are unable to understand each other. Manx Gaelic is especially different due to its strange writting system. Here is something that should help illustrate the differences http://www.omniglot.com/language/celtic/index.php (it also includes information on Welsh, Cornish, and Breton).

English and Flemish (one of Belgiums 3 national languages). For a Belgian, my language skills are pathetic. Most Of them speak French and Flemish along with a good grip of English. Only two is sad :p

Native German, pseudo-native English because most of the time I have to keep myself from using English in conversations with Germans, 5 years of school-Italian I'd be lost with in Italy, and a bit of Serbian a friend of mine who's studying it keeps teaching me.

Oooch... the German dialects can be sooooooooo different. I understand a fair bit of Hochdeutsch and I worked with a couple of Swiss Germans last year, and I couldn't understand a damned word they said.
To be fair, nobody understands the Swiss. Or a lot of Germans, to be fair.

Even Germans?! =P

It's terrible when I go back to China (granted, it's a lot larger, but I'm just talking about the coastline here). I understand Mandarin and any attempt I make in speaking is murder on the ears, but even so, dear lord, I travel just half an hour inland from HK and everyone's talking foreign!

*blah* *blah* *blah*... I'm sorry, could you repeat that in Cantonese...

...

That was Cantonese?! Man, do something about your country accent! XD

...

And don't get me started on Shanghainese...

German and english, but my english sounds really bad because I hardly use it.
I might even manage to assemble some words in french, but not much.
