I am fluent in English and currently learning Spanish in classes and Russian and German in my own time. I have also tried learning a little bit of Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, and Dutch but that didn't really work out. Recently I have started looking into Esperanto and Italian.

What do you mean by how many do we know? Like fluently? Or basic understanding (being able to read it)?

English, of course
I can translate German fairly well..and know some random stuff (can count to 99..?)
I can count to about 99 in Japanese...? And say hello when on the phone (as well as a few words/phrases that mostly everyone knows)
I can translate Latin fairly well (and count to 99..)

Sadly, I only know English. I have really basic French, a tiny bit of Spanish and can kind of follow a Dutch conversation, although I can speak almost nothing of the language. I want to learn all 3 of those though!

Don't think I can speak english, cause I can't.
I'm also learning Italian (I'm actually okay at it) and I speak fluent pig latin.

I tried to learn Spanish and failed.

How is this possible. Teachers at my schools always said it's easiest to learn if you know English.

I speak Catalan and Spanish. I'm apparently not bad with English. I also know a little bit of French because I took some classes at school, but I've forgotten almost everything.

Really? Or is there some irony that I don't get because I'm half asleep?

Well, the only fluent language I know is obviously English. I know a lot of Spanish but I'm not fluent though. But that's it ahha.

Kinda fluent in French. Can understand español pretty well, and I guess I can speak it alright, but not very quickly. Currently trying to learn Japanese, and like rabbit, I can read hiragana and katakana, but I don't know much vocabulary. :P にゃー" \\wonders if that will show on AG
