I live in Sweden, so I can speak Swedish of course.
But I'm actually way better in English, even though i have never visited an English speaking country. I'm taking first language tests and all as well.
I also speak a bit Spanish from the lessons at school.
My real mother tongue language though is actually Arabic. I speak fairly well, but have a hard time reading it. I read pretty slowly, and I can't write made up sentences at all.

Yeah, so all four languages just came up during life, so I didn't actually "pick" them but they're the languages I'm going to use for a long while.

(In no particular order:) English, Dutch, French, Latin (huh? wtf?), Japanese (not a lot of kanji though), C++. All fluent.

You speak C++?

Bet it takes a while for a conversation to get going, huh?

I am knowing very good english.
I also know Hindi and Kannada and I can understand Tamil.
I might be the only one knowing Indian Regiona languages here.
But I know there are 2 more Indians on this forum.
One is Arecus2000 and the other one was Hotzdevil or somethin.
There we're more but they left I think.

I'm indian, my language is Gujarati, can understand the general gist of a conversation, but suck at speaking it.
I know english, this is my fourth year learning german and I learned Mandarin for 2 years but didn't choose it for one of my GCSE options because it didn't fit with other subjects I wanted to do more.

I speak and read Dutch and English fluently, I can do German reasonably well, and just a little bit of French.
And I'm trying to learn Japanese.
None of this is very useful in my daily life, except for Dutch and English, which I use every day.

I can speak English fluently and only a small bit of Spanish. Spanish in my school sucks. They hire any retard who knows Spanish and English (not even good English at that), throw them into a classroom, and expect us to learn Spanish. And they don't teach it well at all. We bounce around from random topics, most of which don't even relate with the language, and every year we'll get a different teacher who teaches a different variation of Spanish (like Mexican Spanish, Puerto Rican Spanish, Spain Spanish, etc). So I've taken Spanish from kindergarten to here in 10th grade and don't even have a child's comprehension of the language. I could go get goddamn Rosetta Stone or whatever and probably learn the language myself.

I know a little bit of bork bork bork though

Spanish (same as French)
Vietnamese (same as French)

I can write:

I'm going to learn sign language in a year if that counts.

Sure it count.
And I always think it's really bad thing that sign language is country dependent and not worldwide the same

It's already difficult to talk a new language, now people not talking have to learn both new language (written/sign)

I think it takes 3 years to learn it. I wish I could learn it too. Good luck.
