I'm only fluent in english, but I know bits and pieces of a lot of languages, just not enough to do much good ;)
Working on my serbian. Once i have that most other slav stuff shouldn't be too difficult.
I would like to learn german sometimes, and something latin based.. probably spanish


edit:
I can read and write pretty much any slav language that uses cyrillic, I just don't understand most of it ;)

English, some Greek (not as much as I should know, as my parents like to remind me), and the little bit of French my high school teachers managed to beat into me.

English, German, French, Greek, the Spanish I had in college augmented a bit by traveling, and some Italian, BUT . . . I have only ever been truly fluent in English, and my German, French and Greek have all atrophied greatly from disuse.

On the plus side, back in my traveling days, many Germans thought I was German while speaking German, and more than one stubbornly refused to believe I was in fact American when I told them so, and even a few French were amazed at my French (and they are a tough crowd thereby). Plus, when I hit Athens after 6 months on Crete, the proprietor of a shoe store ran out and brought all his shopkeeper friends from up and down the block to hear the, ummmm, Canadian with the drop dead Cretian Greek accent.

I used to speak three when I was a child. But I don't know any but half of english now. It's really wierd. I could atually write, read and speak fluently three languages and now can't even recognise words.
