I am pretty good with SQL, Python, C#, C++ and Java.

I speak bad Spanish, poor French, lousy German, and pigeon Latin, Russki, and Italian. Plus, I can say caca in seven languages!

My perception is a VERY low percentage of Americans can speak a foreign language. That seems to be tied into a lot of ethnocentrism here. Most people think American is the "right" way, and everybody else is wrong for some reason. I see this very clearly when I travel and then return to the U.S.

I speak Polish, English, French and basic Russian.

I speak English fluently, I am a native French speaker and I learned Spanish. Both my kids are trilingual too. Fr/En/Sp, they were at the International School where Monday and Wednesday all the lessons were in Spanish, Tuesdays and Thursdays in French and they got a break on Friday with English. During those days, all the lessons, Math, History whatever was in that language. When they were little like 5, they would speak to the gardener in Spanish swearing they were speaking to him in English (Which he did not speak). Every summer we spend time in France and Spain so we can all practice.
People here fight languages, if the US were bilingual En/Sp the whole population would benefit, many studies have shown that speaking multiple languages has benefits for the brain.

I lived and studied in Quebec and learned French well enough for people to think that it was my native tongue. I'm rusty now, but do speak some still. I learned Spanish well enough to get by in Mexico long ago, but it's rusty too. I've studied many more languages and remember some words in each. I will expand my language abilities in the future if an opportunity comes up.

I'm learning Spanish since forever. Maybe you need to be young. Or live there.

I speak, write, read, and/or understand multiple languages. (Including sarcasm and swear words.)

Like you, I’ve been out of Canada a long time. My French is incredibly rusty. My home city had a large German and Ukrainian population so I grew up speaking but not writing.

I am tri-lingual. I was born and raised in Eastern Europe. I spoke Russian to my mom, and Romanian to my dad. I translated a book into Russian in 2008, and haven't done any written translation since. I do interpret medical calls during the week from home as a VOP interpreter. My dream was to be a synchronized interpreter at the UN. It didn't happen as I got married and my ex-husband didn't allow me to work ;( I am divorced now and pursuing an interpreting career again. My Spanish is not at the level that I could bravely put on my resume as my 4th language!
