My mother tongue is Polish, but I speak English as well, I find it a lot more precise. I sometimes can't express something in Polish that I have in my mind in English without looking it up in a dictionary.

This and AutoIt and C++.

As I am a norwegian dude, I obviously speak Norwegian. And as most norwegians I understand most Swedes, and if a danish dude is talking   s l o w l y   it is more or less understandable.
OTOH; reading Danish is way easier then Swedish. Probably have something to do with the 400 year union we had from aprox 1400 to 1814.

And ofcourse, written English is almost as normal as written Norwegian. And within the *'nerdy stuff' I do prefer English litterature over the Norwegian material.
While speaking english I obviously have a rather 'Norwenglish' accent. But I use it as much as I can, and I guess that is the reason english ppl have a HARD TIME learning Norwegian in Norway, cause we rather wanna practice our English, then them practice their Norwegian.

Also, my wife have tought me some Klingon :P

* Wiki articles, computer stuff, have my OS in english rather then Norwegian, set in-game or in-software language to English instead of Norwegian, etc...

Finnish & (Fenno-)Swedish, by birth and inheritance. I am Fennoswede and all that.
I do consider my English skills to be quite sufficient.

Well, I am not able to have any sort of intellectual discussion in the following, however I am able of uttering a phrase or two in German, Russian, French, Japanese and `Murrican.  ;D
Not to forget the fact that most Nordic languages (Swedish, Norweigan, Icelandic & Danish) resemble eachother quite a lot, lowering the language barrier to somewhat surmountable levels.

English and Swedish, but I am against translation of games, in general.

I've tried playing Battlefield 2-3-4 in Swedish and I can't because I end up falling off my chair I'm laughing so hard at the commands.. I can't imagine any game benefitting very much from a translation :P

EDIT: Started learning Chinese, and will soon pick up German too.

English and Japanese, though my Japanese is a bit rusty. Haven't spoken conversationally in a long time.

English, Esperanto, and a fair bit of Spanish. Tried to learn German; all I remember is a few small phrases like "Ich bin krank".
