Writing/Typing/Reading
-Fluent: English (very well in grammar in spelling as well)
-Somewhat fluent: Spanish

Speech
-Fluent: English
-Somewhat fluent: Spanish (my speech is better than my writing, due to having a hard puerto rican dialect when speaking. Puerto Rican spanish is the southern english in the spanish language)

One phrase or more (hello, goodbye, and thank you do not count)
-Vietnamese ("I love you," "Father," "one")
-Dutch ("your mother," don't know why)
-German ("one beer")

Note: Spanish is one of the six standardized romance languages, which derived from Latin itself. Because of that, I've been able to see words and sometimes understand entire bodies of text in another language. Finding clue words and analyzing text, I've been able to understand some of the other five romance languages (Portuguese, French, Italian, Romanian, and Catalan, though the last two I've rarely come across). So people who speak these languages may see a lot of similarities in text. Speech is usually hard though, it isn't as easily picked up.

Chinese, even classical Chinese(exactly, between 4century~20c) i can use it very frequently.

English (just as a necessary part in an significant exam which can be measured to decide whether im good enough to go to a college.)

i lost my confidence learning other "abc" languages because im afraid of that i will must be confused by remembering different vocabulary..

apple=manzana=Apfel=epli=mela? (i just translated the word "apple" to some other languages' "apple" randomly by google, i :o )

Regardless of it's accuracy, I've heard it to. It's not that uncommon to hear.

I didn't find English hard to learn at all. Maybe it's because most Northern European languages are closely related to it.

I think it only applies to people in Eastern Countries mainly because how different English is, compare to their mother languages from every aspect. The other way around is correct too if we're talking about an English-speaking guy learning Chinese.
