    I dwell... in a place that is perpetually inhabited by beings of my kind, Rockistas, we call us... and so we continue to live in that place, in a world that is eternally moving, swept by the torrents of musical wind.

    I am fluent in English and Filipino. I can speak a little of Spanish and French.
    Does secret language count? If it does, then allow me to say I am fluent in "Horse."
    Wish hard enough, I could turn it to what I like.

    Four for me.
    1. Slovenian.
    2. Yugoslavian
    3. English
    4. German

    I guess I can converse decently in Latin...but seeing as how it's a "dead" language, I shan't mention it. I can also manage to make myself understood in high school Spanish, but it's not something I flaunt...the ability is slowly fading away anyways.
    I'm studying French and Japanese now, as well. I can read, write, and converse decently in them already, but I'm going to need a little more work before I dare call myself fluent in them.

    One, but I've been trying to learn Magyar for the longest time, and pretty soon I'm going to start working on my oligo-synthetic conlang again(I stopped because it was extremely stressful).

    Two. I only speak English and my national language and that's it. I'm currently learning how to speak French, but everytime I try, my tongue get's tired and I will stop, and I'll try the next time and the next time and the next time until I really get to know how to speak it. "Try and try until you succeed" as the saying goes!

    Two:

    English and Chinese (though I wasn't brought up in China and started learning it late. I do use it at home though.)

    Mandarin or cantonese?

    Mandarin. I guess I call Mandarin 'Chinese' because it is the lingua franca of nearly all of China now.

    I fluently speak one language, English.

    I can, rather haltingly, converse in both Spanish and Farsi though. My depth of understanding in Farsi is much better than Spanish though.

    Also, I have a crazy internal dialogue that I scarcely understand.

    Also, for my job, I speak SQL, CSS, HTML, ASP, C# and occasionally javascript. Does machine interaction count?

    Fluently: Serbian, Croatian, French, English.. and Latin. Even though it's not spoken- to be able to read/write..
    Learning: German (with reckless abandon), and Russian (ah, 70% there).

    Well, I speak English . . . I just wouldn't say 'fluently.'

    Just English, although I am learning Spanish in High School and want to become fluent.
