This may have been done before, did a quick search and yadadada.
How many languages do you speak fluently?
I'm bilingual so Swedish and Finnish comes naturally, I studied German for six years and my English is, well good enough. So that would make it four.
I've been meaning to start studying Spanish for years. My motivation is still there, so when I have the time I'll take a few classes.
How many do you speak? What language would you like to learn?
I also created a poll for this, here's the link:

I study it in my school as a subject for IB. I've been studying it for 4 years but it comes pretty natural for me as there are a lot of Spanish words which are also in Filipino as the Spanish invaded us for 300 years. :p |

| Haha, ok. Learning English was pretty easy for me since it has very much in common with Swedish. |

Really? Grammar or vocabulary?
I speak English and German, and I understand a little bit of Danish (though can't produce it). I need to start learning French. |

German, English and French.
But I'm not sure how much of my French is left, because I haven't used it since school. Bad thing is that I'm strongly considering a career where I'll need it... :nervous:
Unfortunately, I don't enjoy learning languages that much. |

Both, actually. But grammar in particular. You should hear a joe-sixpack Finn try to pronounce something, anything in English, it's horrible! :p
It's hard for a Finn simply because there is no relation between the two.
You don't believe me? Check out some random interview with WRC champ Tommi Makinen :stongue: |

| I speak Finnish and English. I probably "should" speak some Swedish as well, but.. my Swedish sucks. I'm currently studying Japanese, but I'm at the very very beginning so don't know yet. |

This reminded me of the fact that I forgot German for a couple of years, now I have a job where I use it regularly.
Thank God for that, since otherwise I would probably have forgotten it completely. |
