Being Canadian I speak English and French... from my Army days (foreign postings/wars) I learned SOME German and Serbo-Croatian.
-
Fluent in Swedish and English.
Can buy Food, insult people and show gratitude in French
Can do standard welcome-phrases and insults and say Thanks in German.

There's nothing funnier than Parisians' faces when you ask them for directions in English and when they ignore you, swearing at them in French
-
I speak two languages fluently, one on an intermediate level and another good enough to order a beer and convince a skank to surrender her vagina to me.
French has helped me get laid on occasion. Some girls love that shit
-
i type about 66 languages online
-
I speak and understand fluent Singlish - which is Singapore English which is far enough removed and unintelligible for speakers of standard English I'll include it as another language.
Standard Aussie English. Ya girl.
My German is far from perfect but it's ok. I can teach a senior high school class (with a few giggles from the audience) in German.
My Japanese is very rusty. I also can't write in the language.
My Cantonese even moreso. I also can't write Chinese. I can't claim to speak Cantonese anymore, but if you dropped me in Hong Kong for a month I might be surviving.
My grandmother was half French and spoke to me in French all the time when i was young. I got very good grades in French at school and the first time I went to France I didn't have too much trouble understanding and being understood. I can't remember shit now though. All the German seems to have stolen my previous French speaking ability.
German was far and away the most difficult to pick up.
I can say "I found a carrot" in Danish.
-
Went to a French elementary school and it's forced in Canada up to the middle of high school, so can speak that well.
I used to know tons of Japanese from when we hosted exchange students growing up but lost lots of it. Understand and speak Vietnamese decently and going to learn that one fluently so my child can be trilingual (English, Viet, French). Japanese accept is perfect, my Vietnamese sounds like shit but I'm a lot more fluent at least.

apropos my statement about Aussie English.
I did not write "Ya girl".
The Aussies will know what I wrote before I was censored and made family friendly.

Portuguese is almost identical to Spanish when you read it....accent is way different though but if you learn to pick up the differences you can get by.

Dutch semi fluently. Lived in the Netherlands with work for 2 years and picked it up fairly easily. Once you get used to the guttural sound, it's plain sailing.

Took four years of Japanese as an undergrad and had a tutor in grad school, but for the life of me I can't get it to stick. Several years later its all but vanished. How did you do it?

Funny you say that. At first it was a lot easier for me to understand the Portuguese spoken in Portugal rather than the one spoken in Brazil. I did not know there was a difference in the writing style from both places...interesting. Is it because the Portuguese from Portugal is a bit more formal perhaps?
