I'll list in the order in which I learned:

Italian - my native language, specifically the Venexiàn dialect of Serenissima. I'm competent with 'standard' Italian, but southerners confuse me.
Ladin - not Latin, but a dialect of of northwestern Italy and Austria.
English
Tagalog - I'm not completely fluent, but I learned it while living in Manila as a child.
Japanese - Learned through a mixture of school courses (both while in the Philippines and in the United States), visits to Minoh, and an influx of native Japanese where I live. I've tested as natively fluent.
French
Russian

English is my native language. I was studying Spanish in highschool but nowadays I just feel out of place whenever I see anything in another language. Most of my family are Haitians so they know the Haitian and French language but I barely know jack except how to ask for something or hello. I plan to study other languages so that people won't use that factor against me but I just feel out of place to people on the forums who can actually speak Greek, French, Spanish, Japanese, German, Austrian and Russian. I can use Xenoglossia but I don't what I am saying half the time and the only Japanese I know is from subtitles and prefixes. :sad:

originally most of my family speaks Spanish, but my intermediate family has kinda strayed from it.

Still learning the language of Spanish, but I'm hoping to also learn Japanese and possibly Chinese.
Sometimes I would get my French and German mixed up when I was in Jr. High.

Chak de India rocked! I loved that movie. Too bad it had low ratings. Jodhaa and Akbar songs were nice. Hum Saath Saath Hain...Main Hoon Na was nice. Did you watch Om Shanti Om?

Yeah, I watched all those. Om Shanitom was a great one too, it was so good. I think they're making a sequel?

everyone always hates spanish. o_O
like 80% of the students at my school who take Spanish hate it.
It seems like me & my friends are the only ones who make an effort to learn & speak it correctly.
Everyone else is like.."ho-lay, cah-mo eestas???"

It's pathetic. There are only like 40 sophomores going on to Spanish III next year (out of about 300) Everyone else is dropping out or failed Spanish II the first time and have to retake it.

I know, so many people are like that in my classes too. I try to learn the language even though it bores me a little with all the rules and whatnot, but I try... So you're fluent in it now?

Really? So you understand it? Hmm.. Hvordan går det med deg? xD
lol, no I don't actually.
My grandma is the only person in my family who still speaks it once in a while. ^^;

I guess I could carry on a conversation if I had to, though.
