What Languages Do You Speak?

What languages do you speak? Just curious how many of you are bilingual/trilingual. How did you learn the languages you speak?

I speak French in addition to English, with moderate fluency after five years of study. I just started learning Russian as of recently. My vocabularly is limited, but it's been fun so far.

Besides English, I know enough French to get by and my Mandarin is passable (for about a six year old)

English and sign language.

Grew up near the only 4 year college in the US for deaf/hard of hearing. My home town had the state's School for the Deaf. Lots of my friends lived in the town because they moved there because they had deaf parents or siblings.

Sign is getting rusty though, haven't used it very much in about a decade.

edit: I somehow managed to forget to list "Pittsburghese" in that list!
