1. Spanish
2. English
3. French - I can have a semi-intelligible conversation with a francophone.
4. German *
5. Japanese *
6. Esperanto *

I am bilingual, my two defining languages are english and spanish. I am seamless between these two, written and spoken communication, vocabulary and grammar.

The languages with a * are the ones that I have been exposed to for a bit, and might understand a written communication, and posses a rather short vocabulary, better than nothing nonetheless.

Finnish as native language, Swedish as compulsive language and ofcourse English because it belongs to our general education.

Sadly, I only speak English.
Maybe someday I will adopt a second language.

the adoption process is easier for dead languages ;p

I speak English and Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian (pretty much the same languages)... I studied French for a long time, forgot it all, and I can understand some Macedonian and Slovenian.
