:? hmm... English (native), Bad English, French (my french is horrible but i know bits), Spanish (not the best but i know some), Japanese (learning slowly :? ). Also from taking 2 years of French and Spanish im able to understand bits of Latin, German, & Portuguese. And from playing games i learned Orcish (don't ask).

So 9 languages i guess :?

I speak English fluently, as it's my first language. I speak French next-best, having taken it in school for 5+ years now. I'm currently in my second year of Latin, and I have a minuscule understanding of it. (I don't think I'm going to do well on the state exam in the summer.) Finally, there's Japanese, which I've taken 2 semesters of at a community college. My Japanese skill is probably more minuscule than my Latin skill, though. ^_^;;

So, depending on how you look at it, I know 3-4 languages. In all honesty, though, I'd probably only be able to use French and English in conversation.

I speak only English (a tiny bit of Spanish, Chinese and Klingon), but can write in C++, VB.net, SQL, and HTML. I've been trying that Rosetta stone program for Japanese but I suck something awful. I'm stuck on Lesson 1 but I'm gonna keep trying.

Despite what people say, learning another language on youtube is a pretty cheap, but good way. XD It helped me alot when it came to prononciations.

The places where im learning japanese right now are here, youtube, and the mmos i play. :? Though my one friend in a game told me the best way to learn it is to go to Japan and learn the street version.

I can speak English... obviously.

I can understand more than I can speak in Tagalog. And I'm currently learning Spanish. As for Japanese... I barely know anything.

I speak Indonesia (of course, coz I'm from Indonesia) and rarely use English (so my English isn't good and I'm practicing it here, in this forum).

For other language, I just understand a few common phrases and don't know what or how I should say something (for these, I know Japanese, Javanese--it's different from Japanese, it's one of Indonesian's traditional language, Sundanese--another traditional language.

Hehe.

I can speak alot of languages.
just not completely.

Very little, actually.
My major languages are English and Japanese.
but I don't know much Japanese. . . I know enough to have fun with, but not to get by on a visit there.
