    My mother tongue's Vietnamese. My English is quite fluent. I've had about 20 3-hour french lessons, but will study more intensely in the summer.

    I speak swedish of course, and I learn't english from Harry Potter

    I can get by in Norwegian and danish as well, most swedes can. Though I don't know if it counts, since understand them fluently, but can't speak them myself.

    I dont have one you see all arbic is written the same in old formal quaranic arbic - that the easy one to understand you just have to understand, ok maybe not but its what I understand. Spoken is more wishy washy Id say Im fluent in Cairoish (whats a person from cairo anyway?) Gulf arbic and Tantawi arbic but that doesnt include all delta speach.

    In that case, I speak danish and swedish!
    Otherwise, I'm fluent in Norwegian and English. I admit I'm not as fluent as a Norwegian resident, but then again I haven't lived there permanently since I was six. I know a little of German, though it wouldn't be to hard to decipher, and a only slightly more Spanish.
    When ideas fail, words come in very handy.

    You really seem to have chosen a good middle path from which you furthermore seem to really get around.

    i speak arabic and english fleuntly. Although arabic is my mother tongue, i always think and speak loudly to myself in english. there's the original arabic and the slang. however the original one makes sense it's absurd to speak it in public

    I know a little bit of german, enough to ask if anyone speaks english, and stuff like that. I want to learn things like Welsh and Gaelic or something no one really speaks like Latin.

    Hmmm...Well, English is my first language. But I'm a Laotion...So I can speak three languages.

    English, Laotion, and the Thai...And the Ghetto language. Can't get by without knowing a little Ghetto. Fo shizzle!

    Now for survival language...Meaning knowing enough to get by (Need food, poop, etc.)...

    ...Ummm...Two

    Hmong and Cambodian.
