Well, in order of highest to lowest fluency:

Russian (native);
English (pretty fluent, as you can hopefully see  :));
Na'vi (not too bad, but far from being fluent, sigh);
Italian (bare basics and extremely limited vocabulary);
Latin (minimum minimorum).

Unilfwewyu, du har glömt svenska bland andra språk!

My native language is English; I know Swedish well enough to use it on an intelligent forum; and I have some understanding of German as well. Of course Na'vi as well but I'm not very good at it.
"Uhh ... we should put it out something that it likes and then when it comes to get it we can kill it."
"Oh yeah heh heh ... cool ... um heh ... what do flies like?"
"Uhh ... they like garbage and crap."
"Oh yeah yeah heh heh ... flies are pretty cool sometimes, yeah eh heh heh."

German: native
English: over 13 years now... but can you ever become fluent in a second, third, ... language?
Gaeilge: beagán ... I forgot so much. Studied it for 6 years ... 6 months nothing and so much is lost :(
Swedish: lite grann ... I understand more in writing (as so often) than listening but I intend to follow up on it more often
Na'vi: 8 months and counting ;)
French: very rudimentary – a few years in school, can understand more in writing probably...

So many languages I'm intersted in... Icelandic, Finnish, Hawaiian, Quechua... But who has got the time? ;)

I recommend you to take a little look at those two languages, and your opinion might change. By Wikipedia Icelandic has case endings, however, the case endings are also influenced by gender/plurali and determition

Finnish, 15 cases, need I say more?

Yeah, good luck.

Yeah, I know that ;) Maybe I'm interested in these languages precisely because of that :D – interest doesn't mean I'm going to start learning them (ever) :P

Hobby:
-Na'vi-> Oe plltxatse nìNa'vi nìltsan.

English: Native, dialectually and multilingually influenced...
Spanish: Still know some words from Elementary...
German: Only a few words which I could figure out easily because English is a Germanic language, too.
French: Doesn't it nearly parallel English ::)
Many other 'Rrtan languages: Wannabe :(
Na'vi: Oe pivlltxatse lì'fya leNa'vi muvea lì'fyari oeyä :D
IPA: Studied the whole chart time and again, and I am quite insistent on it being used as properly as can be done.
Math: Love it, hope to live it...
Programming languages: That's a different story....

Pokey: *pokes Reyi*
Me: ÄAW!  Oìsss... Kawng, ma Pokey!  Kawng!
Pokey: *rattleschweeroflfwee!*
Me: *folds ears and blushes*

English: Obviously.  This is my native language by default and by circumstance.
Tagalog: This was -supposed- to be my native language, but life happened and I wound up getting immersed in English instead.  I'm still learning Tagalog, even now.  Yes, I can "susulat" and "babasa" a little, say "magandang araw" and "paalam, "Oo" or "hindì", ask for some "tinapay" or a bowl of "kanin" or" dìnìngding", or identify whether or not a person is "lalaki" or "babae", "batang" or "matatanda".  Okay, it's not enough to carry a conversation, but I hope to master it in the future. (Why wasn't there an "other language" option?  It'd be handy...)
Na'vi: ... *chuckle* Oe lu hi'i plltxe, but I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to learn, srak?  A friend of mine pointed me this way after mentioning that Na'vi sounded like Tagalog, and the rest is history.  Now, true, I still haven't mastered Na'vi to the point of carrying an intelligible (and grammatically correct) conversation, but oe lu mi nume.  *lrrtok*

Waiting in line: (in no particular order) Japanese, Elvish, Russian, Latin, Italian, Klingon... And I'm constructing a few languages of my own (learning Na'vi helped a lot in refining my personal conlangs!)

I would mention something here about con-scripting (not the military kind, mind you!) but I think I've chipped in my two cents already.

Pokey: *rattlepurr*
Me:  I don't know if "thornbush" counts as a language, Pokey...
Pokey: *deflates.  T.T;;
Oel ayngati kameie, ma haryu.  Irayo.  Irayo.
Pokey: *rattleschwee*  Pokey says, "Hi."


Ftxavanga Txe′lan

French: My mothertongue (:
English: I'm not totally bilingual, but I can say and understand pretty much everything, and I'm going to school in English.
German: Pretty advanced level, although far from perfect
Na'vi: I'm learning, but my level is not that good yet. (:
Elvish (Sindarin): Just like Na'vi, I'm learning, but it's taking time!

Kì'eyawn

English (USA):  My native language.  You might say i have a love-hate relationship with this language.

French:  Studied for six years, but i've had no practice for so long...  I can read French okay, but otherwise my skills have atrophied considerably.

Italian:  Took a year of it in college.  The French background made Italian very easy to learn—also, alas, easy to forget  :(

Turkish:  It would take a long time to explain how this happened, but i took a year of Turkish my senior year in college.  It was very difficult for me, and due to a number of things i didn't really progress very far in the language.  But i'm very glad i took it, because...

Na'vi:  ...Turkish helped me immensely in wrapping my head around Na'vi grammar.  Turkish is my "bridge language" to Na'vi—although now when i actually try to use any Turkish, i find myself trying to apply Na'vi grammatical affixes to Turkish words.  Oops...

I have the exact same thing with Spanish, I'm not sure if it's a good thing overall though.
