June 9, 201214 yr Fluent in English and Hebrew. Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy.
June 9, 201214 yr French as mother tongue, I got my english from high school but mostly RS, and spanish from high school and college.
June 14, 201214 yr Spanish is my native language, fluent in Spanish and English, semi-fluent in Italian and Portuguese (can easily understand it, but got a few problems when trying to speak it myself). Know a bit of Latin (mostly from rhetoric and argumentation classes), can understand Catalan to some extent (more of a family thing).
June 16, 201214 yr Fluent in English, and able to hold a conversation in French. My English is very well developed, and my French is rather fragmented at times, but I am able to get my point across. My main problem with French is hearing it and responding, because it's so difficult for me to understand it spoken. I can read and write it very well though. I can get the gist of something written in Spanish or German, but I cannot write it or speak it. I selectively learned some Swedish when I was younger but I have since forgotten it. I can read some Latin because I recognize words from the etymology of English ones, but once again, I cannot speak or write it. I'm practically fluent in Interlingua because of its similarities to both English and French, my main languages of study. Other than that I just know some random words from other languages here and there, mostly from music and etymologies. For example, I know that 'verevki' is Russian (Ukranian?) for "ropes," and "pilkunviilaaja" is Finnish for "comma [bleep]er" (grammar nazi).
June 16, 201214 yr English, Romanian (amusingly enough, although Romanian is my mother tongue, I speak English a lot better), and French (although I usually have to ask people to repeat what they just said when I speak to them).

June 16, 201214 yr I'd have thought sign language to be a universal language. Not that I know how sign language works :P ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢
July 6, 201214 yr American Sign Language- I've taken a few years of it, and it is a truly amazing and unique language.
July 6, 201214 yr English as a native language, and I could hold a conversation in French, but I haven't had enough experience to really say that I'm fluent in it. I'll be honest, being a native English speaker really doesn't provide you with many real-world incentives to learn much about other languages, but I'd feel a bit embarrassed if I couldn't answer this question with anything other than "English". Also, French is an elegant language. ~ W ~
July 9, 201214 yr Fluent in English. Semi-decent French and German.Know a few words and phrases in Spanish, Swedish, Czech and Japanese but wouldn't be able to string any kind of conversation together in them.
