Sign Language, French, and Spanish Granted the only one that could even be concidered "Fluent" is sign, and that's not really that fluent.

I'm fluent in French and English, but I can survive with quite a few other languages. I grew up travelling, so I know basic travel phrases for most European languages and a couple others.

Well, my first word was Portuguese (Brazilian), my second English. When I was 5 I started to learn French. I'm fluent in English. Rusty in French, rustier in Portuguese. I can understand and read some Spanish and Italian if spoken slowly, and could read scientific German at one point ... way back in 91! And I can fingerspell (very slowly) and know some extremely rudimentary ASL.

At one point in my life I wanted to work at the UN. Somewhere I found out that to do so you had to be fluent in 7 languages (not accurate). So, that was always my goal.

English is my first language. I spent years learning French, then spent years failing to use it... ack. I've worked on Czech, Hindi, and we're currently in the midst of Japanese for homeschooling (why I didn't keep my daughter going in French is beyond me).

My daughter is learning ASL, and I can say "kitty" in ASL.

*thinks it important to be able to discuss cats in many languages... heh*

I can say "kitty" in ASL too!! My mother taught me how once... *random*

I do English, as well as can be expected, hahah. And I'm doing my best to teach myself Romanian which is going along... Not very well. I have two books, a bunch of print out sheets I got on the internet, and Romanian music to help with my accent.

It's hard with no one to speak it with, and no one to tell if you're saying it wrong. Ugh, I'm going to get to Romania and they'll be like "Why did she just say 'I want a shiny fish?'?"

I'm learning spanish this year...the bookes I have for my classes so far have only taught me class room phrases and a little bit of basic conversation.

Umm....I know a tiny smidge of Japanese(mostly single words phrases) when it's wrote in the English alphabet or spoke. Think anime for that and fanfiction.

Pig latin. I am fluent in pig latin!
