If I wasn't so lazy or distracted, I'd resume my Mandarin studies in earnest before I take my next class in January 2011. I'm also very eager to learn Japanese, since I'm enjoying many Japanese songs (and it's a handy language to know in my city). And then, I wouldn't mind learning some basic Korean and German.

Swedish and english fluently.
Can understand italian, spanish, latin and german pretty well.
Recently discovered that Afrikaans is easy as hell for swedes to understand so I might as well add that haha. If I ever go to South-Africa I could get around with just swedish.
Afr: Hallo! Hoe gaan dit? Swe: hallå, hur går det? Eng: Hey how's it going?
Afr: Praat jy Afrikaans? Swe: pratar du Afrikaans? Eng: Do you speak Afrikaans?

Afrikaans is ridiculously easy for a dutch speaker:
Dutch: Hallo, hoe gaat het?
Dutch: Spreek jij Afrikaans? ("Praat jij Afrikaans?" works too, but it sounds awkward)

Praat jy Afrikaans sounds awkward when translated to swedish too, would rather say "talar du Afrikaans?" but I wanted to emphasize the similarities.

Hmm, let's see, Swedish of course.
I'm also decent at english, the only reason why I say "decent" is because I always have trouble with pronouncing every single word...that is what you get if you get pretty much all your vocabulary from reading and listening and then not practice speaking at the same time. 
I also got some basic japanese going, even if we haven't made it so far yet. (First 4 chapters in Genki) But I can atleast read both kana's and some kanji. 
Let's see then...nothing more, my french died after 1 year, I can say "My name is..."

Since I'm too lazy to check the thread to see if I've already posted here...
English
Spanish
In that order of expertise, and that's about it. Always wanted to learn French though, but too lazy for that too.

Boy, you should learn Dutch, asap 
Speaking of, here's mine, in terms of mastery
Dutch (native)
English (decent, I use it nearly as often as Dutch)
German (lol shabby at most)
French (Rarely use it, it's so rusty... but passable)
Spanish/Bulgarian (limited to understanding it, but I so cannot speak them - well, aside from ordering food)

That is because the Dutch fail at ~correctly~ pronouncing their language.

I speak Swedish, english and decent French.
I am also able to read norwegian and danish, and understand a little when hearing said languages. Joonas also tried teaching me finnihs, but failed.
