I haven't much else to do but to answer this.
I speak three languages coherently, and one other not sooo coherently, but enough to get me by. I speak French, Spanish, and German, then other is Italian. I have learned French the longest (7 years), German for only 2, and Spanish I have spoken since I was a baby. Italian I picked up through my French and Spanish. Out of these languages, German is my best, eventhough my transitions are better in French. I speak German very well and am really advanced for my years. But I think this has to do with me having just lived a month and half in Germany. Before this, I wasn't so great at German, could barely have a conversation, but now I can type, write, speak, etc very easily with native speakers (which I do everyday). So since then, my German has excelled and surpassed my French, which makes me quite sad. I feel as though I am forgetting my French now, especially since now I won't even be taking French my first quarter, only German. BOOOOOOO.
Other than this, I do know some Russian and some Finnish. In Russian I can say little words like "karandash" (pencil), "stuhl" (chair), "pol" (floor), "studienka" (student) (and many others) as well as sentences like "ja amerikanka" "ja samantha" blah blah blah "poka" "spasiba" "privjet" "kak dila". And with Finnish I know also random words like "vadelma" (raspberry), "vitun idiootti" (fucking idiot), and phrases like "mina' rakastan sinua" (I love you) "hyvaa' yo'ta'" (goodnight) "perkele" (damn) "kiitos" (thank you) "mita' kuuluu" (how are you) "ei" (no) "hei" (hi) and other various words.
I'm sort of obsessed with languages and I hope to take Russian during the Univesity. Right now I am in my niche of German and I plan on focusing on it. Hopefully one day living there.

What other foreign languages do you know? Which one(s) do you want to learn?
