there's mine: Slovak, Czech (I don't count this as it's similar to Slovak), English, German, I understand Polnish (but again it's similar to mine), a little Japanese.

Whoa, I'm so ashamed...
I know only two -- my own language (not worth mentioning what, since it's only spoken in my tiny island nation and nowhere else in the world) and English, in which I am satisfactorily fluent.

Learning languages other than those two aren't compulsory in our school system -- though this was changed just last year, I'd already graduated by then ^_^

I wish I could learn Japanese or Chinese, but I'm too busy studying for my college entrance exams. And after I get in, I'll be completely occupied with the coursework...
Looks like reading manga without depending on any scanlation group will always be an unattainable dream cry

Fluent in English and Cantonese. Understand Mandarin most of the times (I can watch drama without subtitles! biggrin) and understand very very very basic (everyday used sentences) Korean like (Where are you going?, I'm hungry, It's boring, I'm tired, It's cold etc..) that I learnt from my korean friends conversations, I know and can read/write the korean alphabet but cannot pronounce the words really well. I don't know how to write words because I don't know where to place the letters...

Wow I feel so ashamed. cry

I only know English. I have a horrible memory so retaining information isn't really my strong point and any information I do retain usually consists of useless video game knowledge and random facts that would probably only be useful if I was a contestant on a game show.

I fluent in Filipino (native tongue) and English as I grew up learning both. Currently, I am simultaneously taking classes for Spanish and Japanese. I would say my proficiency in Spanish right now is a 3/10 and for Japanese, 2/10. I still have a long way to go for both languages but I hope I can be fluent in the next few years and take up my fifth language.

So envious of those who know three to four languages. May I ask what method you used to learn other languages?

I want to learn Japanese more than nay other language, but can understand bits and pieces of it (can't read it at all). I also know very little basic German too. Nothing special for me, only fluent in English. dead
