Languages I've studied seriously (beyond just picking up a book and spending a few weeks on it): French, Spanish, Russian, Czech, Hungarian, Japanese, Chinese, German

Languages which I've learned to the point of being able to carry on a simple conversation: French, Spanish, Hungarian, Japanese, German

Languages in which I'm currently fluent: Czech

Next languages I want to learn: Turkish, Vietnamese

Unfortunately whenever I concentrate on one language I seem to forget the others. (Though I suppose the ones I've gotten to a certain level with could be reactivated if I concentrated on them again.)

One benefit of knowing a slavic language well is that you pick up closely related languages almost as a 'bonus'. So I can read and mostly understand spoken Slovak, though I've never studied it, and I can pretty easily get the gist of a lot of written Polish.
