Random: Languages?

Bored, decided to make a topic. Happens sometimes--dangerous thinking abound.
What languages do you all know? I only know English, as I'm American and most of us simply never learn very much of our foreign languages. In fact, I actually took Spanish and passed--but I can't even count to ten. Or nine. I may or may not have copied off of some people, but hey. ¡No digo nada! (Did I just use Babelfish to say that? Maybe I did!)
It's a bit crazy to say I know Japanese, as I don't, but I'm a little familiar with the language. I actually can't even read kana myself, but after editing over 100 episodes of Conan and all those movies and OVAs, I've picked up a lot of Conan-speak. Japanese people would probably think I was an axe-murderer with my fielded knowledge of their language... and mayhaps they are right.

English and Italian I speak fluently, well, you could say they're both essentially a first language to me. I also speak some Greek in a somewhat fluent manner, and understand Spanish and French to a limited degree. To a very limited degree, you could also say I understand Japanese; the Japanese I understand is essentially a result of watching Conan, so yeah, "axe-murderer" terminology is probably what it would classify as.

I'm American so I obviously know English. I've taken three years of high school French, whether I'd be able to communicate with someone.. I doubt it. But I can say that I could ask to go to the bathroom? haha

My native language is English; I'm American, so go figure. I understand some Latin and am able to write and read some Japanese. I also know basic Frenchwell, too (conversational French is gonna be next year).
Je suis américaine, donc ma langue indigène est anglais. Je comprend un peu de latin et je peux lire et écrire du japonais. Je sais français (basique) bien aussi (mais français conversationnel va être année-prochaine).
