Re: Languages
I'm English so I speak English as a primary language.
I'm also fluent in American Sign language and I'm in the process of learning English and Japanese Sign Language.
I'm also learning Persian from one of my co-workers and Arabic.
Edit: I also can pick up Italian and Latin pretty well. I'm a classically trained singer and those two languages are the easiest to sing in. xD

I'm American, and I speak English (obviously) and fluent Hebrew. I'm in my first year of Spanish, though, does that count?

Re: Languages
My primary language is English. However being from Canada most of us have to take French in elementary and middle school. So, although I'm not fluent in French, I can understand and speak a bit. Same goes for Portuguese - although I don't speak any ( my father was born/raised in Portugal), I understand it more or less.
I have a question for those people that do have speak more then one language. What language do you dream in? I mean, for example if you are Italian and now live in North America and speak more English than your native tongue... Would you still dream in Italian, English, or both?

Re: Languages
I normally dream in American Sign Language with subtitles.
I've also dreamed in Italian.
Well, made-up Italian since my Italian is very limited.
