Hungarian first of course.
Then English and German, and learned Latin for a year, but I don't remember much.

I think it's harder for Swedes to try Norwegian, than the opposite

True.
When I speak Swedish however, It's more in the Ronny & Ragge fashion though

Where are you from originally, if you don't mind me asking? Always assumed you were German.

English (obviously), a bit of French (4 years in high school), smattering of Spanish, German, Italian...as Jim Garten said, when I visit a country I try to learn a few words to make an attempt at communication. I don't know how it goes for the British, but the natives of Germany and Italy could instantly tell I was American by my pathetic attempts at speaking their languages They would laugh and then just start speaking English. Hopefully they appreciated my effort, though.

I speak Romanian (of course), English (not bad I'd say), but I have a problem with French; I've studied a lot of French in school and theoretically I have the basics, but if I start the TV or radio on a French station, I understand nothing of what those people say, they speak very fast and intertwine words. This is very annoying and inhibiting and it turned me off from trying to improve my skills; if I ever get to France, I'll speak English, damn it. There are actually many middle and old aged people here in Romania that speak perfectly French, slower and with mouth fully open and actually using their tongue to differentiate between different sounds as everyone should; when they I listen to them it's pure bliss, seeming like the spirit of the French language and culture survives in the wrong place.

Too true. I can speak French with anyone.... as long as it isn't their first language. As for me, I speak: - Finnish (obviously)
- English
- French (not great, but I can manage)
- Swedish (^ ditto) I'm trying to learn Italian, but it'll take some time.

I am originally from the USA (Oakland, CA) and came to Germany in 1993. Friede, my wife (same-sex marriage), is German though

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I was unaware of a language called Canadian. I believe they speak either French or English.
