English and swearing.
Used to be fluent in French, but nobody to talk to to practice so I've lost a lot of it. Basic Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, German. Learning Gaeilge.

Eh, in all reality, only English.
I have a small amount of Spanish vocabulary, but that's not the same as speaking it.
I am almost fluent in medicalese, so I can sometimes kinda fumble my way through limited ranges of Latin.
I used to be able to do a little ASL, but never reached fluency, and I've lost damn near all of it.
I only speak english and bad english
Norwegian, Danish and English.
You could add Swedish, but only because of being Norwegian, i can understand Swedish. I speak Danish because i live in Denmark.

German natively, English fluently, basic French, a few words Japanese.
Swiss German is my native language, and I'm fluent in English. My English pronunciation is garbage though.
Theoretically I can also speak German, but I'm extremely rusty in it and lack confidence, so practically I turn into a stumbling mess that can't say anything without running away to either one of the above two mid-sentence subconsciously.
Hebrew and English. I have tried once or twice to learn a third language but I just don't have the discipline for it.
Hebrew is my native tongue, and English I speak pretty much at a native level simply by lots and lots of being online and watching TV from a young age, and often chatting with my sister in English for no real reason. I've even got a pretty convincing American accent. In hindsight I would have preferred most British accents, but I can't seem to change it now (refer to the aforementioned discipline issue).
I still regularly talk to two of my friends in English, still for no apparent reason. We just switch between Hebrew and English arbitrarily.
- German (native)
- English (pretty well I hope; half my working life and almost all my free time spent on the internet, shows, books,... has been happening in English since, like, 8th grade)
- Japanese (learning; enough for talking about food, the weather, hobbies,... in somewhat acceptable grammar 😄)
Hungarian, English and passively German.
Can say basic phrases in Spanish, in Italian and in Japanese.

English, and I have some very poor Gaeilge (Irish).
- Mandarin Chinese. Native, but actually not that good. Can't speak Cantonese though
- English, with heavy "American" accent. Basically native-level fluency
- Japanese. Somewhere between B2-C1 based on test results but that was a long time ago. I can probably get to C1 if/when I have the time to practice
- French. Still actively learning, around A1 across the board
I also have some passive knowledge of Dutch and German... But really passive though

English and French. I can understand a bit of Spanish, but learning French ruined my pronunciation. I can read Cyrillic, but know almost nothing about Russian.
native English
learned French (4 years in high school)
Native Spanish, very good Catalan, good English and some (not enough to speak them) Portuguese, Italian and French.
Bangla mainly and sometimes English but pretty less in daily life (I do understand more languages but I just don't speak them)
Native Finnish, some swedish(= basically every Scandinavian language) and learning Latvian
Oh, and this quite niche language spoken in parts of great Britain, northern americas and basically every single country in the world called Americano
Aussie and English
Danish, English, bit of German and Spanish
I speak native English (Traditional) and am fairly proficient in Swedish, having learnt it for a few years. I still often make grammatical mistakes though
Native English, very basic German from school.
I want to learn another language but can't decide which.
Fluent in English; A1 in Spanish, although I do better hearing it than speaking; and then B1 in German, which is what I’m currently learning.
Native English. Did 5 years of French in highschool. I picked it back up recently and have been focusing more on colloquial French.
Very very limited farci, almost conversational Spanish, and raised American English.
Native Polish and somewhat communicative English
Native English, poor Italian, barely functional Spanish. I can read Italian and Spanish with a bit of effort and understand both pretty well when spoken, but my speaking is severely lacking in both.
English, and trying to learn German! Haven't gotten very far yet though. Did a tiny little bit of Japanese (before picking up German) but haven't gotten very far in that either.
Yet.
