What Do You Speak? Tired of ads?

Let's see what languages you speak. I have a strange feeling that there is a very large proportion of Finnish-speakers around here. But please, don't turn this thread into a Suomithreadi.


So, what languages do you speak?

Speak is defined as you can be with a person who ONLY speaks that language, and hold a reasonably smooth conversation without too much Sign Language.

EDIT:
Darn! I forgot Italian..... sorry......

Finnish and English... then there's Swedish, what a horrible language... German, but only in small quantities and when supported by the vocabulary of English and Swedish.

I learned both French and German in secondary school, but while I've got a passable understanding of the former, I've forgotten most of my German.
