Native English
Conversational Japanese but I haven't had much opportunity to practice it. I can read and write in hiragana and katakana. Kind of afraid of losing it though if I don't pick it up more. =/
Native Norwegian
Also speak English(sort of) have to speak it at work and so on.
One can also claim I can speak Swedish and Danish with various success.
native: russian, i can speak it and mostly read it, but i can't write it well at all.
secondary: english
and a little bit of french, i've forgotten most of it, but i'm planning to pick it back up next year
native is italian, i understand english and a bit of spanish but i don't talk them, i'm "learning" japanese kanji and most of grammar and can read russian (i don't understand) and also know 11 arabic letters lol
Native: Portuguese (brazilian)
My English is good enough to comunicate. I only have some difficulties on spoken part (because I have nobody to practice, so the ability is geting more and more weak).
I can read a lot of french too. Unfortunately I left the course in the middle... but I have intention to go back. It's a really beautiful language. I want to take a course of english conversation too.
English, Norwegian/Swedish/Danish(they're practically the same), very basic French and Chinese. I can kinda decrypt finnish and icelandic if I stare at a block of text long enough.
English. Taught French at school (far from the best, but wasn't terrible at it) but haven't used it even once since so I've completely forgotten all of it.
My phone probably does a better job of translating me into French than I do now.
I've always been curious actually why French is taught in British schools. I understand that it's geographically close, but wouldn't teaching more widely used languages like Mandarin or Spanish make more sense?
My first language was spanish. When I moved to America I spoke no English..so my parents only spoke English to me. Then one day when I was around...6 or 7..my dad said something to me in spanish.. and all I said was "huh?"
German, English
Swiss German (if you know it, then you know it's not like German at all )
tourist Italian - enough so I don't get lost and so I can order food and drinks
Norwegian - good enough to understand VG's (yeah it's not high class) news articles
very basic Mandarin
some Hebrew
My first language is Hebrew. Also fluent in English. My German is so-so, I can understand most of it if they speak slow. And I know a little bit of Russian, I was taught how to read Cyrillic early on, and whatever little vocabulary that came with it.
Norwegian
English
A fair share of Swedish since my dad's from there.
Three years worth of high school Spanish- now faded almost entirely away haha
And lately I've started getting into French, as a fun little spare-time project. Learning a new language is p fun when there's no pressure. It's going along awfully slow though.
English, Persian, and trying to learn German in spare time ( not going well )
Also know java, C++, java script, and bits of other programming languages .

Learned poor French in school
Learned even poorer Japanese on my own time for shameful reasons
It always really surprises people when I reveal that I can read Japanese, like they don't believe me. Me being a boring white Canadian guy, that is.
Spanish is decent
also learnt a bit of french in highschool
Hoping to learn Swedish aswell, but I should move there first
