    English - native
    German - advanced.
    Took a German class in Germany, and learned German in German. - Total submersion makes for fast learning.

    Fluent in German, Danish and English.
    I have been studying Spanish for a few years now, had French and Latin for a few years in school, and I can read and understand Jiddish from the 15th to 18th century in Hebrew letters.
    Because of my knowledge of Danish and German I can read and understand (but I don't speak it, since I tend to fall into Danish then) Norwegian, Swedish and Faroese, as well as Frisian.

    English and Japanese. I need a third language as I'm studying translation so I'm thinking about Korean as it has some similar grammatical patterns to Japanese.

    Native: German
    English: fluent
    French: basic (considering that I took French classes for 8 years, I suck at it very badly though)
    Spanish: working on it (my husband's native language is Spanish... lots of family there that's waiting for me to be able to actually converse with them)
    All of you people who speak so many languages are serious badasses! So jealous, I love it! My aunt is Japanese, maybe I can talk her into teaching me some...

    French is my first language and I am fluent in English. People don't realize I'm french when they meet me since I don't have an accent. Oh and very VERY basic Spanish from watching Dora with my kids! lmao! (kidding!)

    English is native. I have a mix of that southern drawl when I am tired (grew up in GA) but it is mixed with midwestern (mom/family from Indiana and Ohio). No one ever really knows where I am from lol.

    Latin: Previously fairly fluent speaking. I can still read/somewhat write it well. Because of the Latin though I am can understand basic Spanish, Italian and French. It is kinda nice actually! Got language understanding 4 for the price of one! :laugh:

    I have a French degree and an MA in Translation, and work as a languages teacher at a secondary school. I have basic Spanish and German and would be able to get by using them if necessary, and have also studied Italian, Portuguese and Norwegian, but a long time ago, although I could read in them, I doubt I could speak any!
