    English and French, I'm better at listening rather than speaking in French though.

    My English, as you'd have noticed by now, is quite alright, and I'm about equally good at Swedish, which is my native language. I'm also half-schooled in German, I'm going through Spanish classes in school now, and I've picked up bits and pieces of other languages, mainly Japanese, Latin and Greek from various places. I'm also somewhat able to communicate with Norweigan and Danish folk, given that the three languages are pretty similar.

    "I've picked up bits and pieces" as in, "I know some loose words and maybe some grammatical rules, but not enough to make up even the simplest of sentences"...

    Not bad, Howie.
    Im totally fluent in Spanish(*points to location*) and English(I feel as if I had 2 native languages). I can read and write French without any major problems, but I'm total crap when it comes to speech (I dropped the class last year). I'm currently learning Japanese, but I'm far from fluent.
    I can say a few words and common expressions in German(besides fick dich, arscheloch, scheisse, and their combinations/variations ), and I used to know some Russian(as my mother knew a lot).

    I know English, German, Japanese, Chinese (Cantonese), and Arabic quite well. I know/understand a little Korean, Russian, Latin, and French. I am currently learning Spanish and Greek right now.

    No one's listed Elvish yet... That's a pretty good thing, really.

    There's some merit to it. It is useless, but learning any language is proven to improve overall cognitive thought and improve other areas of the brain. (lol too lazy to think of the specific parts )
