I couldn't help it!0

Have almost mastered Engrish. Beyond that, I took a couple years of Spanish in high school, but it could probably only help me find a bathroom at this point. Speak some Hebrew, and have started taking Arabic (just the VERY beginner class so far).0

languages I'm not that bad at:
native language: English
French - I can understand a lot of it and make myself understood to quite a high level, as in I can have a conversation in it, but my grammar and pronunciation is pretty dire. And I suck very badly at writing french. Well I can write it but the spelling is dire.
Arabic - pretty basic but I can read and write Arabic. I can make myself understood going out and about in Arabic countries... have lived in Arabic speaking countries for the past 5.5 years
languages I'm supposed to be trying to learn:
German - I'm a beginner and i also did 1 year of German at school. My husband wants to go and live in Germany after we're done living in the Arabian Gulf so he's told me to learn German. I'm mostly doing phonics at the moment because I'm dyslexic and I don't have a hope in hell of learning to read and write in German unless I spend a lot of time studying the phonics without worrying about other things at the same time like grammar and vocab. It's easier than English phonics although there's some irregularity, i.e. 2-3 ways to write some sounds, although all sounds are read the same way so reading is easier than spelling. I haven't even tried learning to spell German yet.
langauges I know a few words/phrases of:
welsh
zulu
afrikaans
spanish
old English (as in the language of the Anglo-Saxons... Shakespeare's English is actually early modern English, even though most people think of it as "old English" - it's not)
esperanto - in fact I can say "please could you send for the hall porter, there appears to be a frog in my bidet" in esperanto
ETA: and Hebrew... I forgot about that one. I've probably forgotten about one or two others in the "know a few words/phrases of" category0 -

English is my first language. Arabic is my second language since I'm born into an Arabic speaking family. I learned the language from my parents. I probably read at a preschooler's level trying to sound out the letters. lol I know basic French from high school and college, although I probably understand it more written than spoken.0

I can count in Korean and know only phrases needed to participate in my taekwondo class.

I speak English natively. I read Spanish and German at an intermediate level, speak Spanish at a basic level, speak German at an intermediate level, read and speak French at a basic level, and have the reading and speaking comprehension of a 4 or 5 year old in Korean. I've also got a basic vocabulary in ASL, but can understand much more in context, generally.0

My mother tongue is Sesotho, which I can speak most of. At home we mostly speak English. South Africa has 11 official languages, including English and here in Pretoria we have people from almost all the language groups living and working here. In addition to my mother tongue and of course English, I can also speak Zulu, Xhosa, Setswana and a bit of Sepedi. I'm still struggling with Afrikaans, but hopefully I'll get the hang of eventually.0
