Language Learning / Bilingual / Polyglot Thread

I know Russian, Belarusian (a bit worse than Russian) and English (a bit worse than the previous two), plus I understand (but can't speak) Ukrainian. I'll be studying German at my university in a few years.
Now, languages I wish I knew... they are Korean (because of my interest in North Korean stuff) and Serbian (because Serbia Stronk).

Mm, yeah.
Obviously fluent in English, since it is my first language.
Can usually understand Spanish, but cannot write or speak it. (Thanx Mum!)
Can understand/speak some French and Icelandic.

Korean is very easy to read, the symbols are syllables and unlike English they never change, I think there's only 20-something too. It's one of the few that you can read, but not speak
 
Known:
Brazilian Portuguese (first language)
The Glorious Nihongo (fluent)
English (not too shabby)
Italian (poor)
Latin (just the formal terms)
French (very very very poor)

Want to learn:
German

Since I'm into MMORPGs, I think I'll learn Korean sometime. :P
 
I speak, read, and write English. I know a small spattering of German, Russian, and Spanish. I would love to learn more Russian, German and maybe Japanese.
 
I have a GCSE in French,yeaaah motherfuckers.

But yeah my French is appalling, the only language I can really speak is English

My French teacher told me I was going to fail my French GCSE.
I really stuck it to her by getting a D.

My ability to hear or speak Spanish extemporaneously isn't that great, but I can read and write it on a pretty high level. Obviously, I know English as a native language. I have a novice understanding of Latin and Ancient Greek. My French is extremely poor, but I can comprehend a little bit of it. Portuguese I can only comprehend because of its similarities to Spanish.

I wanna get better at hearing Spanish to where I can understand all the different regional accents/dialects. I also want to better my French and Portuguese, since I work in a pretty international setting. Haitian Creole also appeals to me, since a good number of my co-workers speak it and I want to get an understanding of its mechanics, since its development is extremely unique.
 
I should say I want to learn Spanish, French, German and Japanese so I can be like Liquid Chris :ween:

But really, Spanish and French should be enough.
 
Russian/Italian/Spanish/Portuguese.
The romance languages are all pretty and useful (especially Italian.)
But I would love to learn russian. It is such a harsh, but simultaneously beautiful language. The works of russian authors ( dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Pasternak) contain very deep thoughts, whos true meaning could likely be appreciated even more in the original russian. I just like it, and am intrigued by it... hard to explain..
 
I can only really speak English fluently; I took a couple years of Spanish in high school but I never really conversed or practiced outside of class so I didn't retain it. *yawn* So now I want to re-learn it.

I would love to learn how to speak German, Farsi, and Japanese. I kinda want to learn Russian too.
