Let's see... here are the languages I know in the order that they were learned:

Chinese (Mandarin): My parents speak this to me 95% of the time.  I speak it fluently to my relatives, parents, and little siblings.  I've taken about 3 years of Chinese classes on Saturdays to learn the written aspect, but it never really helped.  I used to know a few hundred Chinese characters at that time, but now I've forgotten most of them.

Taiwanese: Another language that my parents/relatives speak.  I don't really know Taiwanese very fluently.  I've picked it up mostly from hearing my parents talk to each other with this language.  I can understand a majority if it's spoken to me, but I can't speak it myself since I've never practiced.

English: Of course, I had to learn this language in order to function in America.  I learned English fairly young, probably during my preschool years.  I'm the most fluent with English, but that doesn't matter since I don't talk anyway.

Spanish: Living in Texas, I've had Spanish influence all throughout my life.  I've had classes in elementary school before, but the ones that really counted were the 3 years I took in middle school (Spanish IA, IB, IC), and the 1 year I took in high school (Spanish II PreAP).  I quit taking this language and I've already forgotten almost everything over the summer.

Japanese: Only within the last year or two did I start picking up this language.  I've mostly soaked some up from Japanese turtorial sites, the subbed anime I watch, Japanese MP3s with lyrics, and around friends.  I know kana pretty well, and a few kanji.  Currently, I can understand about 5-10% of the Japanese in anime just by listening.  I'm learning very, VERY slowly...

Latin: I started taking Latin this year, just to get away from Spanish, so I don't know too much at this point.  Whee.

Other Languages:  Just little bits and words here and there.

Chikko.

Frankly, chikkoing Chu-Chu scares me.
