Speaking only German and English, but I can understand Dutch a little, but that´s mainly due to the similarities it has to english/german.
Had Latin in school, and can scrap some of it together again, but well, I was never very good at it -.-

Another german as first language, english second language. Plus latin, but that doesnt really count (since I only barely scraped by, and its not really a language to speak in).

Polish, English, Spanish, Russian (I don't read cyrylic though) I can also understand pretty much everything in Belarusian and Ukrainian, as most of people from Poland also have passive understanding of Slovak and Czech. Used to speak a bit of German but don't remember much of it now.
Can do few basic sentences and few most important words in Greek, Hebrew, Italian, French, Dutch, Lithuanian.
I also know insults in probably like 16 or 17 languages (you never know when you might need it ha ha )

I speak three up to a level where I can talk to everybody about everything. Those three being Dutch, English and Spanish.
I'm Dutch and have thought myself English(never needed school for that) and lived in Spain.
At school they tried to teach me German, French and Latin. I'd say I can still easily listen to French, I can read the Latin, but I fail terribly with German.
I could still hold a VERY basic conversation in 5 different languages, 6 if you count the Spanish dialect I was thought.

Speak English, Nerd and write Internet (which can't really be enunciated). Know decent Deutsch (enough to enjoy a Krimi here and there). Know smatterings and occasionally a surprising amount of other languages, such as French, Italian, (well, most of the Romance languages, but that's mostly through word roots- don't ask me how to say 'you' to save your life), Japanese from too much subtitled Anime, and an amusingly large number of Swahili words, from of all things Choir.
Probably the one language I really want to learn (aside from wanting to speak Deutsch fluently) is Russian, and it's the one language I can't even understand the alphabet for.

I speak english perfectly though, but I was born in the US, and so were my parents so I mean thats not very hard is it?
