English- my first language
German- Read and write pretty well, speak enough to get around.
Yooper- Speak enough to get around, find out who makes the best pasties, where the good deer hunting is (MI residents will get this one;))
Southern English- Nearly fluent. Able to understand and converse with GA residents south of Macon. Can conjugate the verb "fixin' ta".

Really? You don't look Japanese....how/where did you learn it? English for me. Know phrases here and there.... picked up some dirty Finnish, Swedish phrases from my Nordic buddies back in college. :)

BTW, how do you know what I look like? :Q

Oddly and apparently as a resut of suffering from glossolalia, I seem to possess some sort of linguistic genius and can speak several hundred different languages.

I used to, but then my universal translator broke, and Geordi couldn't fix it.
