that is good and i must say that Chinese people make an honest effort in learning other languages and atleast 75% of chinese school children are studying english to make them good enough for international markets... way to go

I can speak Tagalog (Philippines) and English. And I'm still learning Arabic because I am living in a country that speaks Arabic, but its not easy though.

I used to be able to speak basic Spanish for the most part. Unfortunately over the years without practising it, I've forgotten most of what I did learn. But I do wish I could relearn what I've forgotten and learn enough to where I can speak fluently. Learning at least one other language aside from my own (English, obviously) is something I've been wanting to do for some time now.
