    English
    I minored in German in college - spent a semester in Vienna and a couple months in Bavaria (so I understand the Austrian dialect best), but I've forgotten most of it since I haven't used it in years. I'd like to get back into it, though.
    I learned how to read Cyrillic before taking a trip to Belarus a few years ago.
    Having been to Poland several times, I can read/pronounce Polish VERY well. That doesn't mean I understand what I'm reading, but my friends (native speakers) there have said that I read it with a good accent, hehe. I can speak basic phrases to get around, as well as a couple fun tongue-twisters :laugh:
    Heh, forgot to add basic Italian!

    English
    German
    Spanish (about 70% fluent)
    Swedish (about 40% fluent)
    Japanese (can read some and only 20% fluent in other areas)
    :D I'd love to learn more, and especially love to go study deeper into the ones I am already familiar with!

    in order of acquisition: Russian, Judeo-Tat (a Persian dialect), English, Spanish, used to speak Turkish fluently but forgot most of it because I barely used it once I got to the U.S. =( Want to speak it again, though, and I'm working on Hebrew.

    I can read Russian but don't know what it means.

    Now that's cool. It's usually the opposite, where people know what words mean but can't read for their life.

    English
    French (took 13yrs of it)
    Portuguese (picked up a little from the old country)

    Don't ask me to speak any of it, unless I've had a fifth of tequila first. At which point, what I'm saying would be the least of your problems.
