1. Finnish (native)
2. English (writing is native level, speaking not so much)
3. Swedish (basics from school)
4. Spanish (basics from school)
5. Japanese (I can understand a few phrases in spoken Japanese - helps with drama CDs quite a bit - but I can't read the language at all.)
6. German (bare basics)
7. Russian (bare basics... and yes, I can read the alphabet)

I may not know these following languages at all, but I love learning more about them: Welsh Cymric, Irish Gaelic, Scottish Gaelic, Icelandic, Faroese and Old Norse (this last one is kind of useless, but w/e). I can actually understand half of Faroese thanks to it being closely related to Danish (and thus Swedish).

EDIT: My Japanese has gotten slightly better. I can read some kana now (though I still need my kana guide most of the time), and I have a kanji dictionary to help me... looking for kanji takes me anything from several minutes up to an hour, but it's worth it. Especially when you're trying to translate a manga page just so you can read it. (And I've deduced Shu Shirakawa is infuriatingly polite, while Tetsuya Onodera is adorable and needs a hug after his father figure dies.)
