I'm a Welsh-speaking Welshman who did a little Spanish in Seconday School so:-

1st Language: Welsh
2nd Language: English
3rd Language: Rubbish Spanish

As an anime fan, I could include

4th Language: A few words/phrases of Japanese.

But aye, I put "2" down as my answer.

i speak, surprise!, German, as i live in germany, and english. In school i totally failed at english and i hated it, but when i started reading books and wathching movies in englih, as well as making many english-speaking friends, my skills improved. I actually like it a little more than german, and i playall 40k battles in englih, with my bro

Klingon for the WIN!!!

German (native), English (fluent), French (small talk works) and a little Swedish (Hello. My name is xy. I want to buy some milk).

Not entirely fully conversational (limited conversational, enough that I can talk about a few items):

Spanish and German

Fluent: American English

So one or three depending on your take.

I can speak English, I took 3 years of German is school but the teacher was always high on pain killers due to a car wreck so I didn't learn to much. I also took Japanese in school but since I didnt use it I lost it. I took a semester of Italian in college but I wasnt ready to try and learn a 3rd language at the time.

So I can speak English at a conversational level but everything else I can read and listen to but not really speak.

Mandarin Chinese; English; Cantonese; Filipino

Swedish, english and german. I'm 100% Viking spawn (aka swedish)

French and English

I speak English, Hebrew, Egyptian, Greek, French, and Spanish. It helps that I'm a linguist.

English, a bit of French and learning Klingon.

Barely one? How is that even possible...

Anyway, I speak English and French.

English and Sarcasm (I am very fluent )

I speak English but know snippets of a few others, enough to not get beaten to death and navigate an average city but not enough to discuss complex socio-political issues

Dutch, Frensh, English, German, spanish, italian and greek, ...

Yes, i am Dutch....

English learning german learn a bit of french in primary school.

Keep up with the Afrikaans boet. It makes learning German easy (experience) and it really helps for getting around europe (most people speak either Dutch or Flemish, makes life so easy, plus, it doesn't make the French hate you any more than they already do, since you won't be speaking english) Afrikaans is very similar.

In my case, Yeah, Dutch, German, Flemish, Afrikaans and English (first language).

Being an immigrant and doing student exchanges are responsible.

French (native), English (school), Spanish (school), Japanese (lived in Japan for only 5 years, so I'm not really good at it)
so yes, I'm european ! haha.

But as a Dark Eldar player, murder is the language I speak the best.

four! and why yes, i am European.

Czech and English. Slovakian as well, if that counts (it feels like cheating though, since most Slovaks understand Czech).

I was learning German few years back, but only to little effect. I'm more interested in Spanish now.

English and German... FOR MY FUHERLAND!

Right out of High School it would have been English and Spanish, but since I've never used Spanish except for school it reverted back to just one until I moved here to Japan. Back to two now by necessity. (英語と日本語もちろん)

I speak Finnish as my mother tongue, English because I was taught by American Catholic nuns in school ( ) and Swedish since for some ridiculous reason it is the second official language of Finland.

So I chose three languages, but I also know basic Dutch cause I live in the Netherlands, basic German since we have to choose a "second" (yea, educational systems dont do math) language and also very basic Russian because of the missus.

English, German, Dutch, learning french. ( Go dutchies!)

Finnish and english. Those are the two only languages I will ever need. In school they tryed to taught me swedish, but its just too damn hard and pointless to learn IMHO. Maybe someday I will try to learn some german because I am planning on going on a trip there

Enlgish as native language, spanish thanks to Latina wife.
I didnt add Japanese as 20 years of not using it has negated all that I learned in martial arts as a child.

in the process of learning german rosetta stone ftw.

English, Spanish, German, French and sarcasm.

Thank you, high school, for the first four.

Well due to my ancestry I know Urdu, English, Arabic.

Schoolwise I originally learned Spanish, but then German, French and Italian all became a breeze so I can practically speak to anyone in any Latin-based language even if its not one I have learned due to the similarities between them. In reality I consider all Latin-based languages to be more like dialects of Latin, rather than seperate languages due to their very close similarities.

Ich frage mich, wie viele Leute hier das verstehen....

lols I wonder how many of you people understand this
