Currently learning Japanese

Very cool! Are you learning Japanese in a university setting? Or are you learning it via a website?

I'm learning it through Rosetta, though one of my close friends at uni is helping me (she's Japanese).

if we are going into programming languages then I guess I could also say that I know a bit html and css.

*puts on Computer Science graduate hat and gets annoyed*

HTML AND CSS ARE NOT PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES!!!

*removes Computer Science graduate hat and reverts to normal self*

...they aren't though

Whilst we are on the subject though: Java, Ruby, PHP. I don't know many others as well as I know those.

I know Portuguese (Main Language), English, Spanish, and French

I know they aren't, but if we are going there. I can go to web coding know can't I? clearly if I know any of it, I'd know it wasn't programming. also, I didn't know how to segway that in words.

Very cool! If you don't mind my asking, do you speak Brazilian Portuguese or European Portuguese? I'm curious because my professor is from Minas Gerais. ^_^

Does NWScript count?

I speak Engineer. I know, it's not a very well known language, but the terminology is very, very diverse and the language is extremely technical.

Saying I need a general processor when I mean DSP will often be a declaration of hostilities, usually solved only by the shedding of blood.

Also, I speak enough German to hold a conversation with my friend, swear, order food, ask for the bathroom and mumble soulfully when depressed.

In addition, I speak Jive.

I can "read" Hebrew (which means I can sound out the words but I don't know what all of them are - working on that...I went to such a shitty sunday school). I know a smattering of Gaelic and Yiddish. I took three years of French, a year of Latin, and two of Spanish.

But mostly, like Bruce Willis, I only know two languages: English and Bad English!

Also, I'm thoroughly well versed in the language of sarcasm, which seems to be dying in many places...

Oh,I forgot Strine,in which I'm fluent

Strine is a term coined in 1964[1] and subsequently used to describe a joke or made-up "language" purportedly spoken by Australians whose accents frequently run words together in a type of liaison. The term is a syncope, derived from a shortened phonetic rendition of the pronunciation of the word "Australian" in an exaggerated Broad Australian accent.[2]

Some examples

* Strine
o "Spewffle climber treely" - It's a beautiful climate, really
o "Emma chisit" - How much is it ?
o "Egg nishner" - air-conditioner
* Fraffly
o "Egg wetter gree" - I quite agree
o "Gray chooma" - Great humour

I speak naturally European Portuguese, but I can easily speak Brazilian Portuguese, the different is just the accent really. Its pretty much like the differences between European English to American English.
