I know and love speaking English a lot since its the second language of every country. I also speak Filipino as our own language and some Norwegian words my boyfriend have taught me during our online lessons.

I speak English well. Spanish I can read and write reasonably well, but understanding spoken Spanish is difficult for me, unless I am under the influence of something relaxing. If I am relaxed, I can just respond to what is being said with pretty good comprehension. Otherwise, I get too uptight trying to translate in to English to actually understand what is going on.

I only really speak english. I took three years of spanish in high school. I don't remember enough to be able to speak it but I can still read spanish. I always found it easier to read it then speak it.

I speak English and German with some level of fluency! Spanish I can read at an elementary level and understand minimally. Then there are the languages in which I know a few key phrases: Mandarin, French, Tagalog, and Italian.
I suppose I could add Dutch to the languages that I know to a minimal extent as my understanding of German gives me a small advantage.
