    I speak Italian, English, a little of Spanish and a little of German as well.

    I'd like to learn Mandarin along with French, and Gaelic.

    Ah, French is fantastic - it's wonderful when it comes to impressing the ladies.

    If it helps, I was taught how to say "Stop! I will shoot and kill you if you move any further." in about a dozen different languages.

    Hop scotch? o.O

    Yes, I know I'm necroposting, but at least I'm making a fairly large contribution:

    «Native languages»
    English
    My un-named language (damn right, I'm making my own language)

    «High desire of fluency»
    German
    Swedish
    Spanish
    Italian
    Dutch

    «Moderate desire of fluency»
    Scottish Gaelic
    Irish Gaelic
    American Sign Language
    Hungarian

    «Desire to be passable»
    French
    Portuguese
    Latin
    Arabic
    Icelandic
    Belorussian/Belarusian (two different spellings)
    Faroese
    Russian
    Romanian
    Basque

    «May/may not learn»
    Japanese
    Assamese
    Norwegian
    Afrikaans
    Finnish
    Danish

    Of those, I know Spanish from three college semesters (starting on four in the Spring), enough Swedish to greet people on forums entirely in Swedish, and Italian. I know bits and pieces of the others, and I'm not fluent in any of them...yet...I'm a linguistics major and plan to be a professional translator, so I'll be fluent in at least a few of them by the time I'm done.
