Does Anyone Here Speak More Than One Language?

Portuguese because Portugal, French because mother, English because video games, subtitled movies, internet and mandatory classes since 6-years old, a bit Spanish because it's similar, residual Italian for the same reasons, and can read German but can't understand most of what I'm saying.

Fluently? No. I have taken two years of French (as much as I hate the language), and I used to know it pretty well. I've lost a pretty good amount of that information though.

I can speak English well, and I wish I could speak other languages fluently. I can speak different bits of a lot of languages from around the world though. Nothing I know is helpful or useful, just random words. I have a friend who spent his 5th grade year (in montessori) learning russian, and then studied it over the summer. I think that he can speak it alright and write some of it too.

Fluent in English, Swedish, German and Bosnian.
Because of my wonderful immigrant friends I know how to say bad words in Polish, Romanian, French and Turkish.

I only speak English fluently, but I know a little more Spanish than most beginning classes will cover.

I can speak Dutch (my native language) and English. I did have French and German in school for 3 years, but I completely forgot it >.>. I'm trying to improve my German because I'm going to study there for 4 months, but so far it isn't going as smoothly as I thought. I can understand it, but I keep mixing English into my German sentences because I can't find the proper words (and the grammar with the different forms of die, der and das...who came up with that craziness?!). Last time I was in a German train and I could (sort of) understand a lady saying that she had taken the wrong train because we passed her station, but the only thing I could say back is: De Zug goes to Essen...right?

She probably thought I was an idiot -.-
