My native language is Lithuanian (I'm probably the only person on this thread that knows it), and the other two I know are English(Fluent) and really bad German, I couldn't even ask where the bathroom is using it to be fair.

I was born french. I study in french. I'll teach in french. I'm pretty happy speaking french.

Other than that, I speak English as my second language.

English, very little Spanish, and a little more Klingon (which is a little sad in some ways, but funny in more ways)

nobody speaks klingon?
Or Quenya?
I'm a massive geek and have read LotRs about seven times, and I had to google that. You win the geek trophy today!

I only speak English and a few phrases of Cantonese, I occasionally make an attempt to finish learning but I'm too lazy.
Hooray! Is there an Escapist badge for that? :)

Polish - my first language so it's as good as it gets
English - well, basically I study english philology so it's almost native-like
Russian - enough to get basic things done and have a simple conversation or to watch/read news and get the gist of it.

Hablo español, esto mal.

Lastly, English of course.

I find it always sad that native english speakers do not speak other languages. And I don't mean the smart ones. In Poland you can have a somewhat decent conversation with almost every man younger than 30-40. Of course you won't be able to discuss Platos philosophy, but you can chat with them about every day life with relative ease. Meanwhile I don't think any citizens of the US or even britain can say the same about themselves. They usually can murmur a few words in german or french and that's all. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's the impression I got.
