For those topics one could describe as the forum equivalent of a twinkie. Word games, forum contests and giveaways are all the rage here.

English. I can do some Japanese, but my listening skills are far better than reading, writing, or speaking.

I'm learning french. I can read stuff if the vocabulary's not very advanced. And can ocasionally construct a proper sentence. My listening skills suck though.
And it the vocab's really basic I can figure stuff out in spanish from what I know of french.
I also know a little arabic. I know most of the alphabet, and a bit of basic vocabulary(dog, cat, horse, the numbers, that type of thing).
I'm not actually fluent in anything but english, though I wish I were.

I can speak and understand Chinese but I can't write it very well.

English, Spanish, and lots of japanese, but Im not fluent.
When I was little I was completely fluent in Italian, like.... I would only speak Italian except when I was home and I had to be a translator for my parents xD But I didnt speak it anymore when we moved to the US so I lost it

I'm nowhere close to fluency in Spanish, but I'm learning more every day. I've been very motivated to become fluent. I think it's because I really want to speak as many languages as I possibly can, and I really like the culture of Spain. I've also planned on speaking Japanese one day, but all I really know at the moment are numbers from 1-999.

Dutch (mother tongue)
I like to believe my English is pretty decent.
I can read German pretty well, although my speaking and listening skills aren't that great.
French... well, as it's my country's second language, and I learned it at school, I should be expected to know it pretty well, but my French is horrible.
Aside from that, I also have a 'career' in Classics, so if you put something in Ancient Greek or Latin in front of me, I should probably be able to make something out of it, although these languages, more so than any other I know, need to be maintained, and each day ten or twenty words at least slip out.

I know one that none of you know... muahahaha
Icelandic!
I'm good at English and Danish...
English I learned from computer games and television.
Danish was forced on me in school
I'm currently learning French.
I was learning Latin but the course was cancelled
The one sentence I know in Japanese (besides neko, baka and such) is:
Kanayua eigo no sensei desu.(check spelling?)
Sun Jul 16, 2006 6:26 pm
Konichiiwa.. baka. Nani, kawaii?
XD I really don't know Japanese, just a couple words. Can you tell I struggled for a somewhat-sentance? :P

English and Chinese fluently (or so I like to think).
Took Japanese for year, but I've forgotten all but a few sentences....
A tiny bit of malay, but then, so can a lot of people where I come from.
I can understand a couple of chinese dialects (erm...cantonese, hokien, hokchia), though I can't speak them very well, I tend to mix the the last 2.

I'm just proud that I'm an American that can speak English in a world of "Wassup dawg" and "Fo Shizzle". That's all that I ask of myself.
(I've taken 4 years of Spanish classes, but I'm far from fluent in it)

English fluently (though I am an utter airhead and am always forgetting words). Pig latin and ubbi dubbi when I'm not having an airhead moment (which is very rare), and I'm learning Spanish.
I used to take French and Latin classes, but alas, I can remember nothing I learned in Latin and some basic words in French that I already knew.
Well, actually, I do remember one thing I learned in French class. How to say fish. I'm not kidding, that is the ONE thing I remember.
