I speak two international languages (Dutch and English), and I can understand (not speak) German as well. Poor teachers, they tried teaching me German for 5 years, and all I am capable of is understanding and reading it. I can't say or write anything in German.
I also speak Frisian. This is not a international language, but only a national acknowledged language.

I can only truely speak English, though I can understand most Spanish and some Latin.

Writes and speaks English, okay in Malay but is horrible at writing in Chinese... If you count the dialect Hokkien as a language, so I guess that makes it 4! =)

Chinese is my native language. And I can speak English and a little Japanese. If the Cantonese and the Minnanese (Language in South Fujian province China) are counted in, I can speak 5 language too

.
To compute, I speak C, C++, Perl, VB and HTML.

Oh, it too many languages to learn.

Cool, I can understand some Frisian...It is said to be the language most closely related to English but I find Dutch and English to be more similar

I speak English, French (being Canadian) and my German is pretty good.
If you wanna get technical: (X)HTML, JavaScript, PHP, CSS, Python, and I'm learning C/C++ and Java.
I can't yet, but I'd like to learn to speak in binary. It would be a horribly unnefficient use of time, but the geek factor would be out of this world.
