Which languages can you speak?

I speak English, though I wouldn't mind learning some Japanese so if I ever visit Japan, I can enjoy a nice cultural experience without looking at a Japanese to English dictionary all the time.

I also wouldn't mind learning Russian and Mandarin(since one day China will rule the world and all)
 
English is the only language I'm fluent in. I know bits and pieces of German from the four years or so I studied it, but since I haven't been in a class in at least two years it's not surprising that I am very rusty. :p
 
Being born in Australia, it's hardly a surprise that I'm fluent in English :D With that in mind, I'm not necessarily inclined to equate "Bogan English" with proper English, so that removes a surprising number of people from the "fluent" category.

Aussi, J'ai étudié le français depuis environ 6 ans à l'école, ainsi, je voudrais penser que je sois presque fluent, mais la manque d'immersion à cause d'habiter en un pays isolé – ça se fait plus de dur d'apprendre.

...I tried. More than happy to take criticism from native speakers.

I've also being doing French for about 6 years at school, so I would like to think that I am almost fluent in it, although the lack of immersion from being in an isolated country makes it harder.
 
I speak English fluently, for obvious reasons. Otherwise I know Japanese and French.

I can understand mostly anything I watch, read, or listen to in French. Maybe not 100% but I'll be able to understand enough to talk about it later. Or I'll know what questions to ask so I do understand 100% but speaking it? I'm really bad at that because I've never had conversational French before and only took 3 months of French Immersion before I transferred to another province. :( It's just not really taught here in a conversational way. So I can read and write it quite well but actually speaking it... I'm so rusty. u_u

As for Japanese... I can get the jist of most things I watch or listen to, and when it's manga, I can figure out what I'm reading fairly well, but I can't read books or standalone articles very well yet. D: Not without a kanji dictionary right next to me. But I can usually watch anime or play video games and come away with a good understanding of plot and characters. And, honestly, that's all I really use the language for. Hooray for playing Kingdom Hearts games when they release instead of waiting the 8 months for a localization. :>

As for languages I'd like to learn, I'm really interested in learning Mandarin Chinese but a self-teaching book I picked up... doesn't help at all. Looks like it's a language I'll have to learn in a classroom setting, if at all, but it looks so hard that I really don't want to be marked on it, ahaha. D:
