On a good day, I'm fluent in either of those: English, German, Polish, Russian.
On a bad day, I can speak neither. I'll just turn to speaking complete gibberish or a mash-up of all four and generally annoy people by accident. I'm a notorious code-switcher and even on a good-ish day I could still throw in e.g. Russian words while otherwise conversing in perfect English without noticing it. It's even worse with Polish because some vocabulary is essentially the same by sound but the meaning is completely different....

On a positive note if anyone needs helps with any of the above languages (though I'd really not recommend hitting me up when it's about English grammar as I have no idea what I'm doing there) feel free to ask.

I can read Japanese rather fluently and I'm still building on it but I'm afraid I can't converse in it really well due to the lack of people who are proficient in it. This is just an assumption, I haven't tested it. Writing is an entirely different matter to me personally. I have all the time in the world to fix my typos and re-think my sentences. When speaking I can't be bothered to uh eeeeto all the time, though I'd really appreciate it should I get lucky at some point. So I can probably write pretty legible Japanese and my pronounciation is a'right (I did a course on the basics with a native speaker two years ago and she confirmed) but don't expect me to speak like it's nothing.

If someone needs help with his/her Japanese studies I'd recommend asking everyone else before hitting up me. I'm terrible at explaining Japanese grammar because it's one I just picked up by intuition and I can't explain every nuance like a native speaker or actual teacher could.

English is my native language, but I can speak enough French, German and Arabic to get by / hold a mildly boring conversation.

I speak hungarian (native), norwegian (which means I can understand swedish and danish and talk with them fairly easily), fluent english and basic german. I also want to learn japanese, becuse reasons.
Ah, a fellow Hunglander. I knew there's gotta be at least one more freak in this country who actually buys games. So yeah, native Hungarian here (supposedly, at least... I'm practically more fluent in English than Hungarian at this point), with intermediate Swedish and a bit of German on the side, a smattering of passive French, and theoretically able to read Latin though that's mostly just for looking interesting at parties. You can pretty much guess from there what fun parties I go to.

I currently speak Dutch,English and German. Dutch is my native laguage, being from the Netherlands and all. As a kid I had a lot of exposure to English. In school I had two years of German. My German is so/so. I've been to French many times, still cant speak it. I was looking at learning Japanese. That seems like a widespread plan.
I speak English, sometimes parts of Spanish, French, Japanese, and Korean. I’m also semi-fluent in sign language
