dutch is my native language, my english and french is quite fluent... i understand a lot of spanish and german and i know basic latin. i can also figure out quite a lot of words in italian and scandinavian languages.
we have an exchange teacher from america right now, and she was amazed by the fact that everyone in class speaks at least two languages fluently. it's typically flemish, we know no one else in the world speaks our language so we'd be screwed if we didn't learn any other one.
