    English, and I've taken three years of German, so I can somewhat speak that.

    English fluently, obviously.

    Spanish enough to get by. I can carry on formal conversations, but I don't have enough vocabulary to speak it casually.

    I took three years of Spanish, so I can get around if I ever go to Barcelona.
    I'm taking German now.

    English (American), seven years of Spanish, and a little bit of Korean.

    I can speak relatively fluent English. I also have a basic understanding of Spanish and French, not enough that I can actually speak the language to any spectacular degree but to a point where I understand the basics of what is being said and, with enough time, can figure it out. I also have an understanding of German, although that is very sketchy and not as great as the French and Spanish understandings.

    I would like to learn some languages but I have no interest in actually doing so. French bores the hell out of me and Spanish is too basic and common to be interesting. I would like to learn German, Swedish, Norwegian and have some measure of decency with several Slavic languages. I have no interest in Japanese, Chinese, or just about any other Asian language other than Korean, and that is only a minor interest. It's a shame that I have trouble committing things like language to memory.

    English
    Korean - Used to be fluent, dropped down to moderately fluent. Parents have been trying for years to ship me off to Korea cause they think I'm losing a grip on my culture.
    Spanish - arroz con pollo! I know phrases like "where's the bathroom" and "check please". Oh, and the days of the week and months of the year.

    I know a few words here and there of Thai, Japanese, and Chinese. My grandpa speaks Japanese fluently, and he used to point at stuff and tell us how to say it in Japanese. But it's one of those in one ear and out the other sorta things.

    English is my first language.
    One of my degrees is a German major, but I'm a bit out of practice.
    Though I'm far from fluent, I know a bit of Maori. As a result, I know a few words in most Pacific languages too.

    It'd be nice to learn a few more languages - Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, something with an important and long history.

    I speak english.
    I speak a little french.
    I speak even less spanish.

    I could probably survive in countries that spoke those languages though! (people who didn't speak them probably could too)
