    Bad English

    very little Spanish
    even less French
    some German

    I think I should make it a goal to learn more, especially German since I took that at uni not long ago.

    English and German- fluent.

    Enough Spanish to get around.

    I understand French enough to have a conversation with two teachers I work with, as long as they let me reply in English or German. lol.

    I used to know American Sign Language, although I'm so out of practice that it is redonkulous. I could still ask about your day and make small "talk" I think.

    All of you who are tri- or more -lingual... Jealous! I feel cheated having spent the first 17 years in the US, where the motivation to learn other languages is limited. lol.

    German (native), English (near native - I've been mistaken for an American by Brits before), and Spanish (though my Spanish used to be better). I also speak some Italian, remember a little French from high school and know a few words of Catalan. :) I can understand Italian & French much better than I speak them.

    English is my first language (American)
    Enhanced English is sort of what I speak now (British words, phrases, some pronunciation)
    Dutch is my second language (what I speak every day in the country I live in)

    I have studied German in the recent past but because of the Dutch completely taking over my brain I have a really hard time speaking it. I understand a LOT though and even have full conversations with colleagues with me speaking English and the other person speaking German.

    I've studied other languages as well, but never practised really, so I would never claim to speak those languages.
