I can speak Serbian (native) and the similar languages (Croatian, Bosnian...), English ("A" after "A", after "A"...), some Russian ("A", but I have been speaking it from the fifth grade, so It's three years only) and I can understand some German, but not too much.

Nah, if You get past the extra letters, the grammar turns out to be a 100% copy of English... But of course, one can't talk of an independent English language since 1066

Expert english and Hungarian speech (my accent disregarded). I haven't actively spoken Hungarian in 9 years this June (except to family and random pedestrians) reading and writing is a little sloppy, but easily rectifiable.

Right now I can speak Hungarian and English, started learning Japanese, trying to memorize the alphabet, love how they pronounce things and loving the way things are written, words are a collection of sounds (ofc all words are, but more literal in this instance due to the symbols).

My mother language is Brazilian Portuguese. Can also speak English. I understand Spanish (although I rarely try to write or speak it), understand fairly Italian, a bit of written French and a bit of Nihongo (Japanese), which I'm learning by myself as a hobby.

I think I can understand Spanish as well as a mentally handicapped native speaking 8-year-old. I started following the Duolingo program this summer, so I learn a little bit (almost) every day. There's a big gap between my written comprehension and being able to speak it because I can't express myself orally at all since I don't have to when I'm sitting on the computer. The only time I use it orally is when singing songs, either in a group or by myself when I'm naked in the bathtub, and I'm just following the phonetics. I'm not yet at the point where I'm adequately following the grammar (except the basics) so it's largely just isolated words I'm understanding.
I also know a tiny bit of Apache.
I hope to be able to speak English at some point in the future.

I speak Sicilian, then Italian, and Florentine (the trick is to make a sort of h sound instead of Cs and Gs)
Then I know the Anglo-Saxon language known as English, as it was forced on the world...
Also I know some basic French, Latin, and mock Spanish (Add an S to an Italian word...)
I've also been trying, with scarce results, to learn Russian.
