Rosetta Stone is terrible. Especially for what it costs, it's not worth it. It's soo much better if you actually just buy a textbook and back it up with cheaper online resources (or even free ones, as they can be very good as well). Rosetta Stone on its own has many problems, and a lot of missed nuances that people should probably pick up on their way to learning to speak a language. Also, Rosetta Stone doesn't even bring you close to fluency. It's more of a kick starter.

I hate to be all anti - thisprogramthatprogram but I'd rather not see people waste their money.

English is my fluent. I'm 'quite' good at German. The basics for me at the moment is Mandarin and Japanese. >w<b

what is a fluent

Some people apparently miss the point of the thread. Its name isn't "How many languages do you wish to speak" but rather how many you CAN speak. This implies having at least some basic knowledge about it.

For me it'd be:
Serbian (natively)
English (fluently, or so I think)
German (fluently)
Italian (on a basic level, enough to communicate with Italians as a tourist)
French
and Slovenian

If we were to go and count "official" languages (or rather dialects/ethnolects), I'd also be able to speak Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin (or however you pronounce it nowadays), American English and Canadian English.

I studied Arabic when I was a kid, I did not learn it further and take it seriously but at least I could only do the basics such as read the writings with vowel indicators and write the letters. Perhaps I might relearn it someday.

Wait what, do you have someone from there in your family or something? It's darn hard to learn Cro/Srb so I don't think you'd just casually know it without a reason.

Since I live in Ukraine in Russian speaking family, I have 2 native languages: Russian and Ukrainian (commonly I talk Russian with parents).
English: I learned it since 5 years old, my English teacher in university says that I am an ace in English. However, as a child my mother used to disallow me to install english versions of computer games on my PC.
German: I started learning it in 7 years old, finished in 17 due to social issues with teacher. Aber ich hatte es nicht vergessen!
Japanese: Still learning since 13, have issues of Japanese people (cosplayers, fashion followers) not replying, and being considered as a "weeaboo".

I'm sorry to hear you've not been allowed to freely speak what languages you want, multilingual people are very useful these days

That would be a valid statement actually, since most people that go on a vacation in Croatia learn a few words, and there are a lot of foreigners visiting it so yeah.

Just a friendly correction - habe*
You wanted to say that you haven't forgotten it, right?
Ich habe es nicht vergessen. :-)

I'm a fluent speaker of Indonesian (obviously!), pretty good in English (I hate prepositions and tenses, though), can talk very simple conversations in Mandarin (I'm looking forward to learn more; I have only learned the language in my middle and high school), and is quite okay in the Teochew dialect (basically a derivative of Mandarin, IIRC).

I'm looking forward to learn more of Mandarin, and then maybe a bunch of Asian languages; that is, if I have the time.
