    I speak English as my mother tongue, excellent French as a foreigner, average French as a native speaker, German and a sprinkling of Hungarian (I went there on holiday a few weeks ago).

    I speak Dutch, English and German (though admittedly not really good), I speak a little bit of French (or at least I try to...reading is far more easy) and can read a bit of Latin. I've tried to learn Arab but so far no good... will have to try again later (although it's better then ancient Greek, at which I am a total failure).

    Dutch, decent French, a little tiny bit of German, reasonable English (speak, not write :p) and understand/translate some Latin.

    I learned German (native) and English (the buisness language) from my parents at the same time. So I really have 2 mother languages.

    If you're fighting fair you've made a miscalculation.
