Okay, caught me. No, I don't really speak 30 languages, more like one and one half. Very good English, if I do say do myself, and rather broken, muddled French. Just wanted to see what any reaction might be to it.English, and my French is good enough to carry on a long winded philosophical discussion, or a red-faced, profanity-laced screaming argument.
And just enough Spanish to have had the neighbour's wife in Costa Rica begging for a slice o' Beirut pie.
"Yo habla love."

"Yo habla love."English is my native language and I learned Deutsch fur zwei Jahre, aber meine Grammatik ist sehr schlect. I haven't taken it in a year however so I don't speak it or write it well. I do understand a decent amount when I'm reading it.
Armenian (mother tongue) and English.
English, Chinese, and Spanish for me...

Anyways:
German
English
French (speak, not write so well)
Russian (a touch, not much really)
Spanish (I can say "Excuse me sir, I seem to have lost my cheese", and nothing else)
Oh, and Ostfränkisch.
I speak English and Vietnamese (only the southern dialect however, I don't know the Bac Viet dialect or the Hue dialect).
Depends on what you mean by "speak". I can hold a short and ugly conversation in German, and know a slither of French - though grammar is virtually none existant.
I'm only fluent in English and Spanish. Polyglots scare me.
English and Spainish and one day if I can make time ebonix

Indeed. I could have an ugly conversation in french, a normal conversation in german, and difficult conversations in dutch and english.Depends on what you mean by "speak".
Danish and English.
thou worth mentioning that I can do conversation with most Swedish and Norwegians since the language difference is quite small and I understand some German (3. language in secondary school) and Dutch.
And of cause I'm pretty good in British, American and India-English.

I'm amazed at the large number of people who speak Chinese here. I would have expected a more English + 1-2 other Western languages distribution for the ORG.
You may guess which I speak, but I won't tell

I put down two - English, of course, my native tongue, and a smattering of a few bits of others that cobbled together make probably one whole one 
My most proficient foreign language is Spanish, I'd say, which is one I picked up in later life rather than at school. I'd say if I was dropped into a Spanish-speaking country I'd have no difficulties surviving, anyway. (Okay, I may have problems with pure Castillano - I learnt my Spanish in Latin America where the phonetics are so much kinder to us English speakers
) French and German I took at school, but have forgotten way too much, due to lack of practice. A bit of Nederlands after a few months working in Zeeland (no jokes from you Hollanders about my accent, ok? 
) and a tiny amount of Italian - and I can buy beer in Turkish, Portuguese, Ukrainian (well, vodka, strictly - when in Rome etc), and International Sign Language for all the rest of the world.
If that doesn't cover what I need, well I just SHOUT LOUDER

So you can speak 30 languages also SFTS? :P lol
I only speak English. I'm learning German though I'm not good at it and I could get tickets, food, and drink in Spanish if I need to though conversation is completely out of the question.
And Macsen Rufus I'm glad I'm not the only proponent of volume as a pure medium of communication. I swear that yelling louder and pointing more furiously does get the point across, especially when the speech is laced with a few English cuss words.

I thought so too, aber ich haue meinen Kopf nicht gerne gegen die Wand.
I'd also like to see Macsen Rufus communicate really loud using international sign language.
