I speak English, as well as some German. I also know a little Japanese, though not enough to say I speak it.

Another completely bilingual English-French with a good knowledge of German which has been improving of late as I live just beside the German border.

Other than that:

English:  However my English teacher told me I'm killing the English language(born in Chicago + English-Irish descent)
Took 2 semesters of high school Latin was good in it
Took 1 semester of Russian in college got a Dee as a  grade in it. I couldn't pronounce one letter shch in Russian

It looks like a W with a slash at the bottom right corner . It is pronounced like the shch in ra(sh ch)oice
No matter how hard I tried I could never pronounce it.

I speak English. I know just very few words in various other languages. But litterally few. Unless I wanted to say "hello sister chair" in portugese, I can't do much with it XD
But I speak a little bit of DOS/CMD if that counts;)

I'm fluent in Italian (native), English and Dutch (second-language but I lived and went to school in the Netherlands for 2 years and in US for the same time and speak both perfectly fine) plus Afrikaans from my mom and some arab (I used to write but I'm mostly forgetting) and French and Spanish (as a second language, I can read, write and speak both but I'm best at French)

Fluent in English.

I can also speak a moderate amount of Greek and learning to write the language wasn't very difficult after I could speak (although I only learned writing 2 years ago).

$languages = array('C++', 'C#', 'Java', 'Node.js', 'php', 'html', 'Pascal', 'VB', 'VBS', "others that I can't remember");

echo "Mostly just english, though I do have a smattering of spanish/german left over from school\n";
echo "I am a bit of a nerd though...\n";

foreach($languages as $lang){
   echo = "At one point or another I have used or learnt ".$lang."\n";

Fluent in English with a basic aptitude for French and German.
I refuse to live in fear! Come hell or high water I will not back down! I will live my life!
But you have no life.
Ha. Even that won't stop me.

I will protect even those I hate, so long as it is right.

English and French.

Studied Japanese for a few years for a university course and also for historical interest but I wouldn't call myself 100% fluent as I haven't been using it for some time.

I'm learning Latin, because I'm a masochist.

I'm fluent in Swedish (native) and in English. Then I know some German (my latest ex bf is German, so learned because of him) and a little bit of Russian. I can understand spoken/written Norwegian pretty well cause it's similar to Swedish, but I can't speak or write it myself. Same with Danish but I struggle some more to understand that, might depend on the accent though.

I'm not so interested in learning more languages now unless I'd have reason to, but I would like to improve both my English and my Swedish, mostly for the sake of my writing. It's mostly some of the more complicated grammar stuff that I'm still struggling with, and needing a bigger vocabulary, which are issues when writing larger works of literature that I might wanna get published someday.

Although I might wanna learn Dutch cause I'm half-considering maybe moving to the Netherlands someday.
