    My languages, in order of fluency:

    English
    French
    Japanese
    Spanish
    Makaton (signing for the disabled)
    German

    The last 2 I only did for a year and can't remember much. I teach the first four, though my Spanish is much weaker than my French or Japanese.

    I still have 1000 Chinese characters to learn for my Japanese. Once I've done that I want to learn Mandarin. In the meantime I'm thinking of learning Afrikaans.

    English, some Spanish, and two Phrases in Urdu.

    Which ones? (phrases)

    My mother tongue is Urdu but I am also fluent in English. Can also speak a little of Sindhi, Punjabi and Spanish (childhood fascination :))

    I barely speak English (an American version at that)!

    Also should add that as I'm from Oklahoma it's an American/Okie version of English. The world is not ready for me to try another language!

    I speak English as my first language and can understand most Arabic, but have a harder time actually speaking it. I also have studied French, Russian, and Polish in college, but studying it in school is so much different than actually having a working knowledge of it.

    English
    French - used to be fluent, not so much anymore :(
    Spanish - basic - learned it on and off over the last decade. I understand loads more than I can speak. :)
    Italian - took it at night school for a bit. Knew it, loved it, forgot it.
    Arabic - taught myself the alphabet and random basic phrases...forgot it :(



    I listen to some of the Radio Lingua programs via itunes (http://radiolingua.com/) and also various French and Spanish free lessons.

    And I enjoy PRI.s The World (http://www.theworld.org/) again via itunes. I'm a language junkie :)
