Oh - that is, fluently; I know a few words in Spanish, but am (obviously) most fluent in English; so I only voted for English.

English, I like Spanish and know a decent amount, so that too.
I'm very interested in languages, so I'm trying to learn more.
I have some experience now with quite a few, though nothing notable for this poll.

i think rather than saying what languages, would be better to say how many fluently... and as a response people could list the languages, or type a sentence in all of them, since one of them is most definitely going to be english

English, Japanese reasonably but not natively, French and Spanish. The latter two haven't been used in a long time though. I need to relearn them at some point. I also speak a very small amount of German.

Surprisingly easy to learn, as well (at least for the technically-minded).

Haha, moon speak :p There are plenty of possible sites from which to learn it... I learnt the basics off the Internet, then enrolled in a GCSE course near me. Thanks to the Internet, I'm still a little ahead of the class.

If you're looking for resources, I recommend Tae Kim's Japanese introduction (http://www.guidetojapanese.org/), Takasugi Shinji's (http://www.sf.airnet.ne.jp/ts/japanese) introduction, and jgram.org (http://www.jgram.org/).

I sort of have an interest in learning Japanese, but now I know English (natively), and French pretty good. I know how to "speak" in French, I just don't know all the verbs/nouns :). At our school they don't focus so much on learning words, but how to say things, and I'm also in a corr French class, so that might have something to do with it.

I find it interesting that the number of people who speak Japanese is the same as that of those who speak French and Spanish (so far). Romance languages are usually more common amongst English-speakers.

There are more languages than that (not just that the end is cut off), and it's vague too, due to dialects becoming their own languages.

That list doesn't even list Amharic. And I know a bit of Amharic...
