Only English fully, with some German and Spanish.
I'd really like to learn Portuguese, since I have several friends in Brazil. :P

Little Judas

Dutch, English and a basic knowledge of French.
Thanks to Julius for my OC. (see the avatar)

Let it fly in the breeze and get caught in the trees, Give a home to the fleas, in my hair
A home for fleas, a hive for the buzzing bees, A nest for birds, there ain't no words
For the beauty, splendor, the wonder of my hair

Deviant

Dutch , English , Croatian/Serbian , basic German Knowledge , Basic French Knowledge , Basic Russian (speaking only) knowledge.

How is that like, speaking Spanish and hearing Portugeese? Is it like listening to someone with a weird accent? Or is it closer to what it would be like for me to listen to Pidgin English?
The streets are empty. Wind skims the voids keeping neighbors apart, as if grazing the hollow of a cut reed, or say, a plundered mailbox. A familiar note is produced. It's the one Desolation plays to keep its instrument in tune.

Ben bilmekebilir Turkce ve biraz Italyan ve ben niyet bilgi cince, Rusca, Japonca, Malayca, Norvecce, Fransizca,  Isvicre, isvecce, Fince ve Almanca.

I can speak Turkish and a little bit of Italian and I plan on learning Chinese (Mandarin), Russian,
Japanese, Malay, Norwegian, Swiss, Swedish, Finnish and German.



It's a lot of languages, but I'll hopefully learn it over time...      ovO

Not Spanish or Portuguese, but I do speak some Spanish. I'd say more like Pidgin English... you recognise a lot of words when written, but they're pronounced pretty differently, and there's also a bunch of things you don't recognise at all.

Spanish and portugese resemble a LOT, also there are some parts of countrys that mix both spanish and portugese and have another language (don't know how it's called).
Like the Spain and Portugal borders, they mix some spanish and portugese, or the Argentina - Brasil- Uruguay (my country  :3) borders, they mix some spanish and portugese too.

My mane (yes, mane...) language is Italian, but also I can understand basic English. Also I know a little bit of French, but really a little bit.

Book Smarts

Can anybody recommend a cheap japanese learning program? I keep trying to independently learn it, but I always get side tracked and distracted  :l

If you have an iOS device, iStart Japanese! is really good. (that's an i, iStart, not upside down exclamation mark)

Shining Armor

I don't know any languages as well as English and Spanish, but I speak words in French and German. Tengo un problema de hablar y escribir en francés y alemán.
I don't really shine, too dirty.

I actually had that app for my ipod touch before I sold it, that's how I got what little Japanese I know from

LaptopCommandStation

As a Canadian we are forced to learn both English and French in school(Grades 4-9 are mandatory), but I took it in Gr.10 too.  That was ~6 years ago so i'm starting to forget it(French).  Je n'aime pas parler francais.  Desole.  ovO
I tried making sure I said that correctly and google translate says that means I don't speak french....I speak enough to know that's wrong... lol

Stitchin Time

My main language is English, I do know some French, and I'm learning Russian. :3

Julius

Main language is Spanish and I can perfectly speak, sing, write and think in English. How'd I learn? Videogames. Seriously, no classes, just videogames.

I used to correct my english teachers these past couple of years in highschool (Graduated this year)! lol

Looking forward to learning Italian (Which I somehow understand a bit of, though at the moment can't speak or write... Wait... Pizza! Gelato!) and French (Same as Italian).

I guess I can understand some portuguese since it's so similar to spanish. As someone else said, it's easier to read than to listen to it, that's for sure. But I can still communicate barely with people who speak the language.

And nice spanish Magus! Could use some polishing here and there, but you can get by just fine! ^-^

I speak chinese..... But I dont have the tones in my keyboard :/
But you wouldn't use pinyin anyway, you'd use simplified or traditional Hanzi.

If you look in your keyboard settings you can probably enable the Chinese IME, enabling you to type in pinyin, press space, and see it converted to Hanzi.
Thank you!

Can you help me carry my el bago to the el hotel room? I have my key-o...

taco...

burrito...

GUACAMOLE!
Could've been something great. But ya' blew it... Ya' blew it.
