I'm not shure because it depends on how you count all the languages:
1. luxemburgish (is it a real language, I'd say yes...)
2. german (at school when I was 6, but knew already some because of german TV)
3. french ( when I was 7, at school, quite difficult)
4. english (12 years, at school, knew some because of music and so on)
5. spanish (16 years, at school but only for 2 years, would need some exercice to get in again but still understand when watching TV)
6. dutch (20 years, never learned it in school, but over here in Brussels, I have lots of dutch-speaking friends, quite the same as luxemburgish or german)
7. italian/portugese (can read a newspaper and understand the meaning of it, can do some shopping and understand if spoken slowly, never learned it but's easy if you know french and spanish).
Still trying to learn more...
Don't need to translate when using first 4 languages, sometimes dream in 2-3 different languages in one dream. That's really crazy!
