Sköldpaddorna ;)
I speak Swedish, English, German and a bit of French.
I speak Dutch and English fluently. Was taught French and German in school, I can read and understand those mostly fine, but speaking them doesn't come so naturally. Also did three years of Swedish night classes.
Hej min vänn! Sköldpaddorna säger hallå.
Fluent in English.
About as fluent as your average Irish person in Irish - that is to say, not very. I was surprised how much I was able to understand when watching Black 47, though.
Few bits here and there of French.
There was that study a while back that said 70% of Irish people can't speak a foreign language, to which of course Irish people pointed out that they're speaking English perfectly well.

Fluent English, fairly good Spanish, and very poor French. I also know how how to swear and order food in Vietnamese.
Just english. 3 years of japanese in high school plus 3 years being stationed there I barely know anything. Wife is Brazilian and always gives me shit for not learning Portuguese.
Spanish (Native), English (Fully fluent, use it every day in academic and informal fashion, have a C2 level certificate) and French (I understand everything, can have any conversation I want, but my vocabulary is more limited than in English, if I studied a bit I'd be able to get a C1 certificate).
Finnish, English, Swedish and some Japanese.
Being a Finnish native speaker isn't the easiest base to learn other languages since it isn't related to any major language. Still, learning languages from other language trees is pretty interesting because it shows you how language can shape the way people think in different cultures, etc.

I hope I'll one day be able to become fluent in my parent's second mother tongue, Alsatian, a Low-Alemannic dialect similar to those traditionally spoken across the French-German border. The main issue is the lack of resources and the fact I've already got so much on my plate. I'm planning on learning Standard German first, which should definitely help as I'll already have a good basis in a related language that actually has a ton of content.
English, I took Mandarin for six years academically and did very well grade-wise, but none of it stuck. At all. I remember more German from two years of German. It's put me off to trying to learn any other language, though my wife is from Barcelona and I have no ability to speak to her family.
Ah dang, you're correct! That's the learning process, though. Tack så mycket!
Having lived in the Netherlands for 15 years (and counting), I should probably speak Dutch to a higher level than A2. :p
Native English. Moderate-to-high fluency for a foreigner in Mandarin but a long ways from native level. Basic Japanese.
Any tips for improving a language once you reach a moderate-to-high level? I have a 30-minute weekly skype with a Mandarin tutor to practice listening/speaking & I watch Mandarin-language shows on a regular basis, but I'd love some more suggestions.

I speak a language less then 350.000 people on this planet use. It's Frisian. I wonder if there's any other native speakers on Era :).
Other then that, English, Dutch, a bit of german, some french. Used to speak some Japanese, remnants of an exchange year there, but it's mostly gone.
Edit: LOL, I should'v read first page. Ah goeie Spiderman!

Fluent in English, and I can understand French well enough to get by, but mostly if it's spoken.
Native Spanish speaker, I also speak English and can handle myself in the language just fine. My Japanese is between basic and intermediate, mostly because I studied at a Japanese school here in Peru, but took a few lessons with the same teachers from my school (who are Japanese) after I graduated high school. I want to learn Portuguese and Italian too, feels like I should be able to learn those 2 easily considering I'm a native Spanish speaker. I'd also like to perfect my Japanese, or at least be fluent in it.
English and Yorkshire native...
Super basic French, German and Spanish... This is literally like ordering food and drinks etc for holiday purposes... I couldn't hold a conversation in these languages, but know enough to not be the typical English guys shouts louder to make people understand.
Also R, SQL and basic python.

Spanish is native language. Can understand and write English well, but need to practice more speaking. Know some Japanese thanks to Duolingo and some books I have bought. At the least, I can read hiragana, katakana and some kanjis. I have noticed my understanding of Japanese have increased; have an idea of what it is said without reading the subtitles.
Since we are adding programming languages then PHP, SQL, Python and C#.

Native Spanish speaker, Italian since that is my family's languaje, fluent French and English, and I defend myself on Euskera from the Basque country
Native Spanish speaker, English can comprehend everything (read, listen) but since I don't have friends for oral conversation practices, my talking lv is almost none...
Took a course or two of Russian and Japanese a few years ago, but without practice it's the same as nothing... Hoping to get serious and relearn at least Japanese next year.
Can understand a bit of Portuguese since as a child we had a Brazilian feed in our cable TV.
