I guess most people know atleast 2 languages to venture in to Foreign Languages, but how many languages can you speak? For me it is just two really.
Swedish
English
I can probably make myself understood in German if I have to though. 4 years in school, I hardly paid any attention and now I regret it.
>>247 learning japanese and german
You sure have attraction to harsh languages.

Nope. If I had mentioned Bosnian, Serbian, Montenegrin, etc., then you could call it "isti jezik" - since they're all based on the same dialect. Slovenian and Croatian however, are definitely not "isti jezik".

Its all mutually intelligible though right? I know between Croatian and Serbian there are small spelling and pronunciation differences, but i can still understand my Bosnian and Serbian Friends.

Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian, yes. Slovenian - no. As I already stated, BCS languages are based on the same dialect - Shtokavian, which makes the standard Croatian, Serbian & Bosnian language almost completely mutually intelligible (save a few colloquial phrases).
Both Croatian and Serbian however, have additional dialects (Croatian - Kajkavian, which shares lots of features with Slovenian, and Chakavian, Serbian - Torlakian) that aren't considered mutually intelligible one with another, but that's another story...

English ;_;.
I can understand most Spanish conversations that aren't discussing biochemistry or something complex, but I've lost all my speaking / writing skills since high school.
I am currently trying to learn Russian, and since it's the summer I'll have a ton of time.
My next goals are Chinese and Japanese after Russian, the former simply because of it's popularity and the latter because of, you guessed it, anime.
