I speak all the major forms of English (American, Australian, Kiwi, Cockney etc).
I also speak Hungarian ('cos the wifes family don't speak English Roll Eyes

), some Dutch (have a lot of friends there, but I'm getting rusty, must chat to Ivan about this...), and I have a smattering of German, French, Czech, Croat, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, and Irish Gaelic (I can get drunk, get a bag of chips, swear, and get my leg over in all these languages, I suppose thats a fairly high standard of fluency, everything else is just decoration Grin

).
I just pick things up in my travels. Does Latin count as its a dead language? 'Cos I know a fair bit of that....

I started playing around with the Italian program, I'm a bit surprised how much like spanish it is, I only know a little spanish, but enough to already see the similarities between the two languages.
I am looking on Ebay for a learn spanish program, that would be much more useful to me, considering we have spanish radio, TV stations and plenty of spanish speaking people around here.
But I'm having fun with the Italian anyway.

I have a program for German, but I figure I'd better stick to learning one language at a time, and from what some of these guys are saying German is more difficult to grasp than Italian, and since Spanish is actually my #1 choice, Italian is a good #2.
