Native German, fluent English, full working proficiency in Norwegian, (understand Swedish and Danish as a direct consequence), somewhat proficient in Dutch and French, and my Chinese is enough to get by. Couldn't hold a longer conversation though.
How did you learn so many languages?
I move around a lot and always pick up the local language.
Oh I forgot to mention Luxembourgish as well, used to be pretty fluent, but didn't have much of a chance to practice in the last 15 years or so.
