Only English and an insignificant familiarity with Japanese that wouldn't even suffice in a supermarket (a police station, maybe, but not a supermarket).

I do intend to learn French within the next two years, though. :-*

I learned french during middle school and first year in high school. I could continue in 11th grade as well but the only leftovers in the class were me and 4 other native speakers. Imagine what it feels like to sit in a class and you don't have any idea what the people around you are saying...then again I felt the same thing in math lessons  ;D

Let's see if I'm right^^
Indeed you are.  ;)
Great, great.
I were only able to figure this out because I did the same. It seems everyone wants to name the language he is best at first. The other reason was the fact it was separated from all the other Scandinavian languages, which supported my theory (normally you would name the languages in groups, but Norwegian was standing alone).
Away from that I'm impressed that you know that many languages. I do not have a talent for foreign languages; my English has only improved due to me watching all the DC episodes with English subtitles...
If  ;), :D, ;D, ::), :P, :-X, :o or >:D are attached, that paragraph may not be 100% serious. Seriously.

The language I can speak is VB.Net, SQL, C#, C/C++, HTML, Java CSS, English, Tagalog and Japanese :P

Why don't you guess which country I am using your theory there Callid  :-X
And give the possible reasons why it's in that order  :P

Of course my theory does only apply if you aren't watching the order you're writing in. And normally nobody would do so. Therefore my theory will not work on any posts posted after my theory.
But someone viewing DC should know that human actions are very predictable if they (the humans) are not warned.

yeah, although I still would have posted the same (except all those 133tz0rz) since (in terms of vocabulary) I'm better in English before my native language which is Tagalog(Filipino). And Japanese is just an extra because of all the anime I've been watching.

Your theory would only work most of the time though. And not all of it  ;)
