I actually only speak English, but I know a little (emphasis on "little") Spanish (of the Mexican variety) and I've taken an interest in German. I've not taken any classes, but I do own a program that teaches German. I haven't used it in a while, though, so my German is limited to a few words and phrases. I can also count past one hundred. :p

wpegg: English, GCSE (means basic) French and Latin (though I was pretty good at them, more fluent than most of that standard).

Any other Latin speakers here?
I had it in high school, but I remember basically none of it. Grammar translation as a teaching methodology sucks. For some reason we don't take the foreign language instruction as seriously as they do in most other parts of the world here.

Amo, Amas, Amat, and that was it? It's a shame, i liked learning it.
English and Spanish, with a good deal of Finnish from when I studied in Oulu. I'm working on polishing my French.
I have flawless English, Auslan (Australian Sign Language), NZSL (New Zealand Sign Language) and Signed English skills. Oh and perfect sarcasmese as well as bullshitism.

Not flawless but almost native in BSL (British Sign Language).

More limited skills with ASL (American Sign Language) and lipreading - it depends on who is speaking and YES I consider it a language unto itself. Also quite good at spoken English, most of the time I can get a non-signer to understand me just fine.

I can read a little French, Spanish, Italian and German but it's funny - I couldn't structure a sentence if you asked me unless it was in French and even so it would be laughably basic but I CAN read enough to pick out what said languages are trying to say. Weird.

Whew, that's rather a lot.
Brazilian Portuguese and English.

I simply CANNOT understand Portuguese Portuguese.
I'm hearing impaired. AUSLAN, Bad English, Internet language and my dog language that who I am lol.
American Southerner English, a bit of British English because I watched a lot of BBC America although I don't try to speak British because that would be tacky of me. I also know Polish, but it's not 100% perfect since its grammar rules are a complete opposite of English and I keep finding myself trying to use English-style grammar in Polish. It doesn't happen too often now that I have been here for a while but it was bad when I just arrived.
Slovak (native), Czech (very easy since we were together in one country), English and German (but I have forgotten much, since I didn't use it after I left elementary school).
English
American Sign Language
Spanish

Want to learn Japanese and Korean.
English (California native)
German (used to be good enough to pass for a Hannover local)
Spanish (both castellano and mexicano)
A little Italian and Swedish

The problem I had was that since I wasn't taught grammar at all in school, I had little to no ability to transfer what I knew about English to Latin. I was having to learn not just things like DO and IO and subjunctive, but the terms for things like dative and all the rest of it.

I think combined with the grammar translation emphasis I didn't have much of a chance. Fortunately, we did get to speak it a bit, but still wasn't really enough.

Oddly enough, I still have my copy of Cassell's Latin Dictionary on a shelf not too far from me as I type.
portuguese and english
I always wanted to learn greek
Spanish and English. Learning something else is probably a good idea.

On the other hand you are really lucky to speak the language that every one else is trying to learn.
