yeah ohh i forget harlem english not american haha

Speaking a foreign language is an advantage to everyone, because the more language you know the many people you are. I've studied German 10 years at school and english for 6 years, but i i would like to learn some other languages too like italian and spanish.

I speak Luxemburgish as native language, and english frensch and german, whom i learned in school

Well, as a finn there are 3 languages that I've learned in school, finnish, swedish (our secondary language) and english. Then i chose german as an optional, but i quit it after 6 years, because i still sucked at it. So that makes it 4 languages.

Currently I'm learning German and I plan on learning Latin and another language, but I don't know what it will be yet.

I want to learn spanish but am afraid that when i will be able to understand it, the girls cursing at me in spanish wouldnt be as sexy :)

i speak English, Bahasa Indonesia

I can speak English and I tell myself I can speak German, too, but I believe that's just wishful thinking Since I'm from Slovenia, a part of former Yugoslavia, I also speak Croatian and Serbian (my roommate is from Serbia). But I have to admit, I took French in highschool and almost dropped out because of it. Twice! I don't know, I think it just wasn't presented to me on a level that would interest me. It's really good to know as many languages as you can, makes life a bit easier if not anything else But my life hasn't changed to worse because of lack of French so I have no complaints

I`m bulgarian ...that why for me english is foriegn language...does it count. I study also german at school..but i`m not very good at german...so english is my only foreign language...and also i`m too lazy to learn some other language..but for other who have plenty of time is good idea to learn languages

I consider that newer generations should vote a language that will stay universal. I speak english and I dont want my memory occupied by another language.

Don't worry, the human memory is immense. It won't 'run out' by learning a few languages, and studying the languages can help you avoid losing your mind when you're older.

I'm a native Korean speaker...and fluent English user too.
And because I'm not really old, everyone assumes that I'm gifted in Languages...Except that I just can't seem to learn any other languages than those two XD

BTW, can anyone give me any short advice on how to start learning Russian? Because it is a requirement course for my house in the high school...

Russian?!?!

I shouldn't go off topic, but is 188d uptime for real? O.o

180 days seems a lot for a normal pc and 98 is not your typical server os...
but back on topic:
German is my native language and by now english pretty much FEELS like my native language
I learned frensh in school, but i was always pretty bad with it, so I would say all that's left is a rather basic level...
I guess I would understand a bit of some more languages, esp from places where i went on holidays often, like danish, dutch, etc, but i would not really put them in a list of known languages...
I've been intrigued about japanese for some time, mainly due to watching a lot of fansubbed anime, but it never got much farther then:
"Konichiwa, watashi wa Jan" or something...
