English and German here. I can puzzle out reading Dutch and French, and other older languages (Latin, OE, OFr, Old High German, Old Saxon, etc.) with the help of a dictionary. And Yiddish, with lots of help.
I want to learn just about everything. Which is what makes me a GEEK.
English is my native language. Studied ~3.5 years of Spanish in Middle/High school...but that was over a decade ago. Recently started learning Swedish and German via Rosetta Stone, though my wife has been much more diligent about it than I. I've only gotten through the first couple lessons.
I know little smatterings of a bunch of languages, mostly from singing songs in various choruses in foreign languages. There was a Polish one from college that was fun to sing, I think it was called 'W zlobie lezy,' I still remember several lines of it.
