I didn't see this anywhere and thought I'd ask since I'm curious! Feel free to include dialects too.
My first language is English but I took four years of Spanish - I forgot it all since it's been four years since I took my last class, but I'm sure it'd come back to me pretty easily. All of my teachers were from Colombia so I picked up the Colombian accent.
I'm also proficient in Japanese though my grammar has probably become terrible from watching too many Japanese cartoons and not studying. I can speak a little bit of Korean too, but I really want to learn Chinese and French!
So- what languages do you speak??

I speak English and have taken three years worth of Spanish, so I can understand it fairly well? haha. Most of the time. But I'm not confident in it enough to hold a conversation in Spanish.

I only speak English because I'm a failure at life. I intend to take French this fall, though! I couldn't take it before now because it wasn't offered online (and who wants to take a language class ONLINE anyway?) but I start dual-enrolling at the college next school year. :3
I'm excited, since I think I'll do well. I want to learn it. xD My mom tried to teach me Spanish when I was 10 but I refused to cooperate. It all went in one ear and out the other...

English and some Italian. Although I'm still learning how to fully understand a full sentence without messing it up LOL! But hopefully I can find some Italian classes to go to at one point :3

English, with my hearing disability it's next to impossible for me to fully learn a spoken language. I can read spanish and french fairly well if I set my mind to it though. I also speak Cat.

I just put English as I can't speak any other languages fluently or anywhere close.
I learnt a bit of Russian which I loved but then changed schools so didn't get very far with that. I did a year of Spanish but they didn't have it on the timetable so you had to come in at lunch time and after school to keep going and the only Spanish teacher was always ill that year so I never got into it and dropped it the following year when we had the option. French is the only one that I kept with through most of school and the one I want to get back into learning at some point. I could probably muddle through a bit of French and read a few signs enough to get around the country but I don't think I could hold a proper conversation.
I can count to ten in French, Spanish, Russian, Japanese and of course English. I'm slowly teaching myself Japanese. I know a few bits and pieces that I've learnt from podcasts. I can't write a word though.

English, pretty much just English... and thats even iffy on some days I can count to 10 in French and Spanish,, In French I also know colours, quite a few animals, objects (bus, window, bike, pen etc.) and maybe a bit higher counting. I try to keep up on the Elementary school level French as I work in a daycare and many of them go to French schools.

My native language is german. I'm learning english since 7 years and learned french for 4 years, but I can't speak much french. XD I want to learn japanese, but it's so hard. I tried it with a book and gave up. D: Katakana & Kanji killed me. (I was able to read hiragana, but forgot it.) T_T I just know some words because of anime/japanese songs. Japanese is such a beautiful language. <3

If you ever want some help learning Japanese, feel free to PM or IM me! By no means am I great at it (especially kanji... I forget a lot of it online dictionaries are my best friend) but maybe I could be of a little help or provide you with a few online resources.

I speak English, and that's about it, haha. xD I know little words in Spanish and French. Since my school is poor as dirt, only a few students who sign a slip over the summer, AND get picked in a raffle get to have Spanish Class. I didn't sign up, because when we were supposed to have Spanish, it would be a homeroom period, and I figured homeroom would be better. xD

Just English. I've taken 3 school years worth of Spanish... but I don't think it's helped me very much. I mean, I've received A's in the classes... but if you threw me out in Mexico, I wouldn't be able to communicate worth a darn!
