Rayoon, you speak Senegale? I assume that's a language of Senegal, Africa? I know some guys from Senegal. They speak Woolof.

I speak (fluently) English, Irish Gaelic, and Latin. I can get by in Spanish and French, but I'm not going to fool anyone into thinking I'm a native speaker. I can read and thoroughly butcher Classical Greek as long as I have a good dictionary with me. Greek was by far the most difficult to learn because it doesn't use the Phonetic Alphabet and there was no one to practice with.

What do you mean when you say "speak"? Can get by in the language and are pretty competent? Know a few words? Or can speak fluently?
I can "get by" in English, Thai, and Korean.
I "know a few words" in English, Thai, Korean, French, Spanish, German, Mandarin, Cambodian, Laos, and Irish Gaelic.
I am fluent in only English.
Asian languages are a lot harder to learn than Western ones. Too many sounds Westerners have difficulty pronouncing and tonal languages are very difficult to get a handle on.

English, Spanish, Somali, Kwsawhili, Arabic, French, and Irish Gaelic.
7- the hardest to learn were the African languages Somali and Kswawhili they are very confusing to write or read, I learned most of those two orally.

1. English (my mother tongue)
2. Spanish
3. German
4. Latin
Spanish and German I feel fairly confident about and within a few more years I'd assume that I could be able to get close to fluent. German is harder than Spanish (at least for me), but I didn't find it a difficult language to learn.

i speak three besides my mothertongue. english was really easy to learn and i didnt ever really study, movies, songs and all that helped. i started german very young so it became like a second mothertongue to me, and french, well there i had to study a bit but i didnt find it that difficult either. u know what i found truly difficult? serbocroatian. i studied it a little out of curiosity, just to see the structure of a slavic language and i didnt go very far, although i liked it too. its the same structure and similar grammar as german and greek alright, but there are no similar words, as it is a different language family, so i really had to learn the whole vocabulary from the beginning. and that was too much.

I can speak two languages, but I can only speak one fluently.
Spanish was the hardest language for me to learn so far.
