My mom and dad would speak Norwegian, but didn't make a habit of it, my mom's mom said that we boys were American and we should always speak American. I regret that I didn't insist that they teach my brother and Norwegian.

I speak English, Spanish, a bit of Korean. Does speaking in tongues count?

English. I study Hebrew but I really don't know much at all and we do focus on Biblical Hebrew mostly anyway.
I believe that the Universe is one being, all its parts are different expressions of the same energy,
and they are all in communication with each other, therefore parts of one organic whole.
This whole is in all its parts so beautiful, and is felt by me to be so intensely in earnest, that I am compelled to love it and to think of it as divine

Uh, well...English (some days are better than others ). In High School, I studied Indonesian and became quite fluent. Of course, that was a really long time ago and so have forgotten most of it.
The second language I know the most is Spanish. My dad took it in college and taught me some, so I took a year in high school.
I know how to say, "hello," and "goodbye," in a few different languages: Japanese, Hebrew, Hawaiian. And I can also say, "hello," in Chinese. I also know a few other words in Japanese, and ancient Hebrew and a few words in ancient Greek. Some of those may also be the same in the modern languages. I also know a little Yiddish.
If to die isn't gain you're living in vain.

Latin and Spanish through HS and undergrad work, but horribly rusty on both after over a couple of decades of little use. Easier to read than to conjugate these days...a little English, smattering of French and Italian, mostly tourist phrases and rough outlines.
And, of course, I speak serious funk, which is the language of love.
learned ASL before she could say anything more than "Mama" and "Dada". We met Charles when she was six months old.
