Sadly, I did Chinese (mandarin) at school for 5 years ... I got quite good at it actually, having a Greek tongue, foreign languages weren't too difficult to learn. But then life gets in the way, and like they say, if you don't use it, you lose it!
So I've lost All Chinese, My Greek has now become broken and incidentally, I got to grade 4 in piano. Loved it! Now I don't know chopsticks 
Lucky I still use my willy for wissing, otherwise I'd lose that too!

English, French, and bits and pieces of lots of others (with Icelandic, Irish Gaelic, Mandarin and Esperanto being the strongest).

Irish is a right bitch to try and read - a lot of the letters don't sound like they're supposed to, you have to pronounced letters that aren't there, word spellings mutate depending on case, position or referent, and an adjective will periodically disappear from its right and proper position, only to reappear later in the sentence, like some sort of syntactic predator waiting to pounce on an unsuspecting reader.

I clicked yes because I studied German in college. I've kept it up and am sort of conversational but not fluent.

A wise choice! ...You just never know when those pesky Nazis will crop up and try to take over the world again...

Technically, it's yes and no.
I know sign language, which is not spoken.
