German - (native)
English - You understand me, that's enough
French - a few words (7 years of school :-P)

About the ones sayin of Amarican as an own laguage I have to ask one question:
You understand British guys?
Cause in german there are rly hard dialect so I can't understand people living in the same country as i do.
Somehow I fucked up grammar hear.
 
Slovenian (native)
Serbocroatian (you are pretty much handicapped if you don't know it here)
Italian (watching television, besides my uncles are italians)
English (I wouldn't be here then)
German (I studied, but forgot most of it because not using it)
Polish (enough to troll them on youtube and getting banned from various polish sites)
Russian (enough to browse various (questionable) websites)
Romanian (not really, but at least I know what is going on in football matches)

Quebecois - Native
French - euh
English - good
Spanish - una cerveza por favor
German - Rammstein
Little base in 4-5 others languages
 
XD, get ur facts first pal

First of all, the USA is the most populated region of North America BY FAR. If you count Alaska, the USA is roughly the same as Canada, if not more in terms of diversity. Canada and the United States both have English as their primary languages. Yes, there is French in Canada, but they still are forced to learn English in Quebec.

As for Mexico? It's a third-world country that a) has English taught in all of its schools and b) has a terribly low population.

Are you going to count Central and South America in this? Even so, a majority of the countries in South America are still effected by American imperialism and have great amounts of English influence, especially in their schools.
 
damn you, shaman D:
that made me sad by thinking that i have to learn DAMN SWEDISH for being finnish :<
(i dont mind english studies at all tho)
 
What counts is not whay languages they study in school but what is the official language. Name me one country which official language is English. SO far I know Portuguese and Spanish being used in South Amerca. Cuba from central does use English but still they r like protugesepsnaish not sure which

Brazil - portugese, Colombia - spanish, Guatemala: SPanish 60%, English 40%, Argentina Panama Peru Paraguay Nicaragua. Uruguay Venezuela, Ecuador - SPanish, so on and so forth.

and also LOL:

'United States English (amazingly its not an official language, because no official language exists at the Federal level) '

The "national language" does not equal the most widely spoken and popular language in an entire region. It's impossible to encompass 2 continents with 1 national language. The most widely spoken language is English, so it's common sense that it's the most popular.

Also, Portuguese =/= Spanish.
 
Slovak-native
Czech-every slovak knows czech fluently
Polish-i can understand some ordinary words, it is very common language to ours

same to all former Yugoslavia's languages (i.e. i can communicate there without hands and legs)

English-almost fluently
German-well, I can understand something, but it is worse in speaking
Latin-one year of law latin in university
