So who speaks a foreign language?
Please state more then "I speak *Language here*"
You can add things like how/why you know the foreign language (any language that is not English here is foreign)
I speak Russian because my family is from Russia.

Aw, I thought I could state that I speak English (since it is foreign to me).
German, Danish, I can understand/write a few others.
If not, I can find a translator that can do the job for me.

Well, English of course.

I am in my fifth year of Spanish, so I know the majority but cannot speak fluently.

I also am learning Gaelic =]

I'm Dutch. So my native language is Dutch ofcourse.
I can also speak English. And a bit of German and French.
But those two only because I had to learn them in school.

I am a native speaker of Spanish and Galizian (yes, we Galizian people exist! We're here!) and I am moderately fluent in French. I can understand some German (I quit classes because they tokk too much time from me).
Oh, and it's obvious I'm quite fluent in English, since I've been studying it for years.

Filipino isn't that ear-grating.

I don't speak Filipino too well, though I have a good understanding of it.

I need to learn another language.

@Falcon4415

Galician? Cool, I've only seen people who speak more common languages here.

It is quite interesting how many words Danish and Dutch has in common. So same goes to you. I don't speak it, but there are enough words similar to have an understanding of what is being said.

I speak English, some French and Spanish, a very very very tiny bit of Latin and Esperanto. Esperanto was created to be a universal language, but I am not sure if it ever really took off. It combines all of the easiest parts from many common languages and forms a language.

It had a bit of a start but never got that far. Well, English is the universal lanquage at the moment, but chinese might be soon aswell -_-.

I remember danes talking to me and I could actually understand them, They were pretty amazed but probally forgot Danish and Dutch are quite the same.
