1st language: English Little bit of Spanish learned from elementary to middle school. Plus the dirty words learned from Mexicans I worked with in the past.
The only German I know is from "Hogan's Heroes." Gott in Himmel! Swine! Snell! Rouse! Mein Fuher! Ja! Nein!!!

English naturally, Spanish (though not as good as I would like it to be), and surprisingly, a basic understanding of Japanese due to all the anime that I watch.

English primarily. Pretty good at spanish since my wife is Mexican and one of my good friends is Puerto Rican. A few Japanese words thanks to Kill Bill.

One advantage of being a European...I can speak several languages.
I also had 6 years of classical Latin in school. This may come in handy if I ever jump into a time machine to travel 2000 years into the past to visit the old Romans.
Two other languages that I learned to speak during my years in South Africa are Xhosa and Afrikaans...unfortunately they are spoken nowhere else on earth.
My parents lived in China for a few years, so I can speak a couple of phrases in Mandarin. (Did you know that one chinese dialect is called Wu? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Chinese)

Other than english, I can also speak spanish. I can speak it more than enough to get by (I'll say 90%), however I can understand it perfectly when people talk to me in that language. If I hung out with Eva Mendes all day, speaking spanish to each other, we'll be able to get along quite well.
I can definitly speak it better than Jessica Alba and Christina Aguilera combined.
But foremost, english is the language I'll live and die by.
