            Well....Dominant language is English,but....

            Can speak some French, Japanese, and Hawaiian.

            If I combine these three languages, I can make a totally new way of speaking!

                Close - it's widely used in the Indonesian provinces of West Sumatra, Jambi, and Bengkulu on the island of Sumatra (and the Malaysian state of Negeri Sembilan). It is one of a couple of thousand local languages in Indonesia which are used in people's family life and casual occasions (Indonesian being the language of education, business, and government) and one of the more closely related to Indonesian and Malaysian.

                  I can speak ... French! I know, I know, horrible, isn't it?

                  I took German so I can read a little bit of that, and I can sort of read a little bit of Frisian as well (I bet most of you don't know what that is).

                      I speak and write English without difficulty.

                      I can understand most French and Spanish when written and spoken (coherently).

                      I can speak in broken French and extremely broken Spanish.

                      I cannot write French or Spanish worth a damn.

                        Unfortunately I have no idea what Frisian is, I am only familiar with Old Frisian.

                          Old Frisian and Old English (or, at least, the language *spoken* by the Angles, not the language written by the Saxons) are practically the same thing.

                          Indeed, Frisian is still the language closest to English.

                            Danish (also able to talk to/with those, only speaking swedish and norwegian).

                            Understand and read german very well - but I can't speak it, not even after a couple of beers.

                            Understand quite a few french and spanish words too.

                            Ohh, and a kind of english of course .
