Russian - native.
English - fluent.
German - used to be almost fluent but it`s pretty rusty now after several years of inactivity, trying to refresh it.
Italian - passive knowledge: can fairly comfortably read and understand spoken Italian but have difficulty speaking it, need more active practice.
Spanish - strated studying not that long ago, it`s going pretty well: I can read and understand spoken Spanish almost as well as Italian (probably because of similarities with Italian), can have a basic conversation in Spanish.
French - just started, still struggling with pronounciation (I believe that one should try to pronounce as correctly as it takes from the beginning rather than trying to "relearn" pronounciation later).
Hebrew - make attempts to study it every once in a while.
Languages I want to add eventually (once I`m comfortable with the ones I`m studying now): Portugese and Arabic.

English (native), French (fluent, but starting to get a bit rusty. Need to go there on holiday). Also speak a bit of Italian.
I'm going to use FSI and Assimil to study Hungarian, as I lived there from Sept 2006-Jan 07, and I want to live there again.
I also want to pick up a Slavic language - Czech, Polish or Slovene, but that's going to have to wait.

I speak English (native), Mandarin (fluent, my parents' native language), and am studying Spanish (which I also take in school) and French.
I would like to learn a language that doesn't use the roman alphabet. Specifically, Korean or Russian look pleasing to me.

I am a native speaker of American English who works as a Japanese-English translator.
As an undergraduate, I majored in German and minored in French, but in the intervening decades, I've lost my active knowledge of these languages, although I can still read them easily. I know enough Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, Norwegian, and Russian to be a tourist. I'd like to improve my Chinese and start Korean. |

I agree! I'd really appreciate Italian being added to this wonderful, ever-growing storehouse of languages
