I'm sure there are a few around here somewhere... :)

I'm not, unfortunately, I never had an ambition to learn French as a kid... I kind of regret it now actually but I have other things I'd spend my time doing now. Such as posting here on this glorious site of ours!

English first language. Trying to learn Mandarin but that will be slow going, very few resources in NZ for learning Mandarin.
I've done Latin but that doesn't really count as a language anymore

Ich kann Deutsch. Minored in college. Our prof was a crazy awesome Austrian woman.
Das ist sehr kuhl.

Aber ich finde das muss ich deutsch studieren.

Sorry if I may have butchered the language, I really have to brush up on my German.
I've lost some colloquialisms as I've become lazy with it since I'm not doing it for a grade anymore but I'm still passionate enough about it to keep fresh.

Wenn ich zu viele Bier trinken, macht mich in die Hosen. You can call me, the party pooper. Ha!

But truly, my favorite idiomatic German phrase has to deal with 'you know as much about the subject as the man on the moon'. Du verstehst dich darauf wie ein Blinder auf die Farben. You understand as much on it as a blind person knows of color. Harsh, but I have just as much a case of schadenfreude as the idiom, so lol.

I can carry on the most basic of conversations in Spanish, and English is my first language.

I want to learn Swedish. Then move to Sweden.

English I speak natively, and I speak very bad Finnish; which is kind of worrying considering i've been living in Finland for 6 years.

I'm from the Balkans, from Macedonia to be precise, and all the Balkan's languages are similar (except for Albanian or Greek), so I won't be mentioning Serbian, Croatian or Bulgarian in my posts, since they're pretty much the same language.

1st language-Macedonian
2nd language-English
3rd language-French (I'm not fluent in it, but I can understand most of the stuff in French)

I've lost most of the language as I haven't bothered to study it in a year or so. Kinda makes me wonder how I passed it this year, and how I plan to pass it next year.

Also, I like that idiom, 'tis pretty hilarious.

Ah well, at least I've retained enough German to live there. Or so I've been told.

It's probably just easier to round it up to four. Which I would imagine would be quad-lingual.

Am I fluent in English? No. Can and have I beaten a native speaker in a test in school? That is, the kind of test that tests how well you know the grammar and how good your vocabulary is? Yes.
I also speak fluent Swedish, my native tounge.
