    As for me,

    1st language - English (American)
    2nd language - Spanish
    3rd language - Japanese

    I feel speaking other languages is fun to do plus it sharpens your mind and increases your ability to learn in general. I had a great time in Spain+Japan with the locals primarily because I was able to communicate well with them knowing the histories/languages of the countries along with nihongo wordplay. You should totally pick any language of interest and learn it via class/travel.

    Swedish (native)

    Spanish (advanced)
    Portuguese (basic)
    German (basic)
    Esperanto (advanced/fluent)
    Latin (intermediate, it's not really spoken though)
    And I understand spoken Danish and Norwegian, as well as a lot of written Dutch.

    I think that's all. Hoping to improve my German and Portuguese, and learn some French and Russian in the future.

    Hey this looks like a fun post
    I tend to tickle my tongue at the thought of a titillating transfer of tasteful talks about things. -> I'm a fan of English, I speak it often. As it's my primary language.
    German < 50 words
    Spanish < 500 words
    French < 1500 words
    I speak Java very well, along with PHP, HTML, AS2, and some C. :3
    I think I'm winning!
    I'm not cheating..

    I plan on becoming fluent in German, as I'm part German. Perchance even learning whatever Irish folk speak. And fluent in Spanish and French seem necessary.
