Basically, a topic where you indicate which languages are you speaking and on what level.
I start here:

Bulgarian - Mother Language (18 years)
English - Proficient (11 years of studying + TOEFL and soon SAT I)
German - Intermediate (Roughly 4 years of studying of doubtful orderliness)
Dutch - Beginner (Studied a little from pure interest)
Russian - Beginner (I've learnt a lot during my linguistics courses, most problems were given in Russian)
Latin - Very limited vocabulary and grammar (Again, pure and somewhat professional interest)

Around 50 another languages on the level "several words". Most of them learnt during linguistics courses. Some are very interesting, like Ancient Manchurian or Tocharian A.

 

[-Spirit Hunter-]

Serbian - Super Mega Ultra Grandmaster (15.5 years)
English - Pro (But only at speaking, I'm around "Intermediate" when it comes to writing it)
Croatia - He, he
Latin - Only few phrases and words...
German - I know how to say "pig", "one", "two", "minute"...etc.

 

[Zombie]

Hungarian: 17 years
English: 10 years (No certificate, always too busy or lazy to attend)
German: 7 years (Thanks to the lacking quality of our teachers' teaching methods, I hardly know a few sentence structures and words)
Russian: 2 years of both passive and active learning with smaller interruptions, mere self-interest.
French: 2 months of fucking up the class morale, then I got kicked and switched back to German.

Dutch - 17 (almost 18) years, mother language.
English - Second language, 7 years, too much TV yeah.
French - Boy I hate it, 2 years.
German - Better than French though since it's similar to Dutch, 3 years.

Spanish - Been living in Spain for 11 years.
Catalan - I wonder if anyone knows about Catalan around here... anyways, 11 years of study and practice too.
Russian - 6 years living in Russia + 11 years of study, but my level isn't as good as it should be ¬¬. Only 1 hour of class each week.
English - 11 years of study and practice, currently studying for the Proficiency certificate.
French - I studied French for two years... then abandoned the lessons... and forgot nearly everything. C'est la vie.
+ Random words, expressions and phrases from many different languages including japonese, latin, chinese, german, etc.

[graystuff111]

English - First launguage and I still cant spell
Spanish - Like 2 or 3 years, I never really payed attention though
Chinese - almost 1 year, its a super easy class, I havnt payed attention all year and I get B's

 

[Interceptor]

Hm, Traditional or Simple Chinese?
If it's simple, I know there are 17 basic hieroglyphs and 216 "keys" which are easily memorized with an English poem. But how the hell do you determine the number of each "key"?

 

[graystuff111]

Simplified, but thats just for writing it. I have no idea about the keys, I havnt been paying attention in class.

 

[Interceptor]

Well, generally, there are 17 basic hieroglyphs, each consisting of a determined number of lines, equal to its number, i.e. base 1 has 1 line, base 2 - 2 lines, etc. Their meaning is memorized by an English poem, with 17 rows. For example, base 17 means "flute" and we know that because there is a word "flute" in the 17th row of the poem.
The "keys" are built on that bases and each key has a number, which is also memorized by that poem. Thing is that I just can't remember the method and now it eats me outside because you mentioned Chinese! All I can recall right now is that the letters W, H, and Y are ignored (remember "Never mind WHY" - these letters are ignored).
Bah, if you remember what I'm talking about, I will be grateful if you tell me the method.
