I've been wondering that how many of us are actually able to speak at least one foreign language on a negotiatable level.
I have most interest in native English speakers.
I'LL START:
I speak German on a basic level and I speak English and Hungarian on negotiatable level. Let's count my German as half; I speak 2,5 languages xD

I've heard that many dutch speak several languages like English, German, French etc.

Speak or know?

Speaky: dutch, english, french, german (on a negotiable lvl), a tiny bit of russian too (but actualy not enough to mention it)
Know: above languages + latin and ancient greek.

Spaz, is there some place where you could find a translation of that thing you posted? I have been intrigued by Gaelic ever since I went to southern Ireland a few years ago...tried finding a grammar, but failed horribly :(

Yea.... I picked up the languages in my spare time and most of them when I was 13-15.
