Multilingualism
I've been researching a lot of the Germanic languages recently (German, Swedish, Norwegian, etc.) and I was wondering how many of here can speak multiple languages. Also, if any of you have any good sites I can use to further my journey to master these languages, feel free to post links.

I have a month to learn Czech before I go to Europe. I'm using a software thing I haven't opened yet.

Dutch is my native language and I am fairly fluent in English. I can understand a decent amount of German (based on the fact that it has some similarities to Dutch and my 3 years or so of highschool German) and understand and speak some French (though I haven't needed it in ages so I'm probably rubbish at it by now).

I took four years of German in high school, but the class moved too slow for me, and I lost interest after about a year and a half, so I just started cramming before the tests and never really learning it that well, despite never getting less than an A+. Haven't pursued it any further since, although I still remember a fair amount of the vocab.
