Mother tongue's Tagalog, but personally my first language is English. I can speak conversational German and write elementary level [I think] too [Well four years of learning has to produce something.] Dabbling in Japanese now, hope to learn the language seriously.
 
English and Malay, seeing as I'm Malaysian and attended a public school. It's pretty difficult to get around if you can't at least speak SOME Malay. Hokkien too, because it's the second most used language in my family... and even though I'm 1/4 Japanese and 1/4 Vietnamese I can't speak Viet to save my life and I can speak SOME Japanese, but I rarely ever do. ^^;;
 
Well, I'm French so I can speack french, and I went to English school all my life so I can speak english, other then that I'm TRYING to learn Japanese but what I know basically stops at greetings, numbers, colors and "How are you?"... 😌
 
My mother tongue is Macedonian but I can't speak it very well I mostly speak Dutch & English

I can speak English, Chinese, Cantonese(dialect) all fluently. Know and still learning Spanish 3 years worth and teaching myself Japanese. 😌
 
Chinese (any dialect)?lol That's true.You can even find different dialects just in different parts of a city in China.

Dutch.. Not saying my English is that bad... As long as I don't have to write ;) (that is quite hard on Internet sites ) I'm one of the best listeners of English in my age category.. And my reading isn't bad aether..

and I can translate some France and German
 
Also Dutch:-) My English is good, I'm one of the best in English class at my school (compared to others from my age). I speak a little bit French and German, but not very well. And I know a few word Japanese, although I can't write it. Only say some stupid, useless thingies like young strawberry, hello, goodbye, see ya, cute...😌
 
English, and Chinese. Is Taiwanese count under the Chinese? It's a dialect~!

I'm currently taking Spanish, and I will be taking Japanese soon~~ I can only speak fragments of Japanese~!

My mother tongue is Italian. I think my English and Spanish are ok, though not perfect at all. I can speak some French and I should speak Japanese but... :p

My mother tongue is Dutch, but I am rather fluent in English as well, for I attend bilingual education (english-dutch) and I'm in my fifth year now... I do make stupid grammar mistakes, though -.-' I have Spanish, French and German in school as well. I speak Spanish pretty good (After three years) and my French isn't the worst either.... But I suck at German.... I feel ashamed, for I live near Germany (in the East of the Netherlands):P

I am full native Pole, so my first language is Polish. My English is at intermediate level.
 
👍 My native language is English, but I speak French and Japanese at about the equivalence of a sixth grader.
 
My main language is Spanish, second language Catalan and third one English. I can speak Catalan and English as well as a native person (though I was born in Catalonia, I didn't learn Catalan until I was 7 years old or so).

I also know a little bit of French, I almost can understand 100% of writen Italian, know some words in Chinese and Korean (only spoken, never tried writing) and in Japanese I know how to present myself and the numbers, nothing more for the moment. I know a little bit of hiragana, katakana and kanji. So when trying to read Gothic & Lolita Bible I can distinguish some of the letters and even understand one or two words (shiroi, arigatou and few more). Luckily, I have no problems when I see Hamasaki Ayumi or Kôda Kumi written xD
 
Ah I speak Thai naturally, but had to pick up english on the side in my adventures in the circus..
Thai is not even on the list..wheres the love??:(
