How many languages have you studied? You don't have to speak all of them, or be fluent to answer.
How Many?
You can include languages you are currently studying or languages that you weren't able to finish studying. Use another nickname if it's a huge number and you don't want everyone to know!
Hmm I studied German, Dutch, English and French in secondary school. Further I know some Frisian just because I live nearby. Never studied Frisian though.
My French and German are in a decline because I barely use them. :(
I want to study Spanish some time because I think it will be one of the main languages the coming years. And if I go to South America some time it will be very useful.

In order of study (Regardless of fluency):
English, German, Japanese, Hebrew, Polish, Chinese, Korean, Russian, Italian, French, Spanish, Dutch, Finnish, Swedish and Swahili. I also tried to study Turkish and modern Greek but didn't pass the first lessons.
As for languages which are no longer spoken, I studied classical Greek and Latin in college.
Cheers!!

Most people study their native language at secondary school.
My native language is English, and I learnt French, German and Italian in education. I have taught myself Chinese for about a year and a half now, and due to knowing some Lithuanians, can have basic conversations in Lithuanian. I've toyed with the idea of learning Hebrew, and once tried Interlingua.
Oh, and I learnt Afrikaans for a year, I can express myself in that.

I think you are not that good at languages if you think that Spanish and Italian as the same intonation, as I have read in a post of yours. Spanish and Italian intonations are really different!

Native English speaker, German was my minor in college, studied French in high school, took one Spanish class and learned quite a bit when I worked construction, I can read Dutch fairly well, some Latin and some Old English.
English: I've been practicing it for over ten years. basically I don't "learn" it anymore. I just assimilate what I read and hear on the internet and TV shows.
Spanish: Given up years ago, refreshing it now. I can have basic conversations and lo entiendo muy bien porque es muy parecido al francés.
Italian: Started two month ago. Sometimes confused because of similarity with Italian.
Egyptian Arabic, Greek: Just started. Lot of fun. Very different from the languages I'm familiar with. Greek sounds a lot like a tribal language to me due to its sounds, rythm and tone. I love that. Egyptian Arabic is both foreign and familiar (many of my workmates speak an Arabic dialect). When I study it I have a lot of colorful images in my head. Makes me want to travel and see the desert again.
