It will depend on where the tumor is located (since the symptoms vary within parts of the brain) and on the size.
Some tumors don't give any symptoms, at least until they are big enough to start causing some local inflammatory reactions or pushing some nerves away. Roughly, it could give headaches (very unspecific), dizziness, numbness in any place of face/body, paralysis of some parts of the body/face like an arm, leg, mouth etc, problems with the vision (seeing double...), even changes in the personality like aggression, etc.

There are a variety of symptoms that may occur, depending on the area of the brain that is affected. However, no one set of symptoms is definitive of diagnosing brain tumor; these are really general symptoms that may be caused by other things. Also, somethings a numbness in your arm may just be a small glitch in your body...
In any case, consulting a physician is the best option.
Self-diagnosing and over-self-diagnosing are bad for your health, as it creates too much stress, and as decades of research have shown, chronic stress can speed up viral pathogenesis, induce cancer initiation, progression, etc

You have plenty of good answers above, the Mayo clinic
is a good source, however sometimes there are no symptoms
until it is too late. So, visit your doctor if you are in doubt and
he will be your best guide. When there are no symptoms the
only way to find out is a scan in the "Magnetic Resonance+
Spin Echo" exam. That will surely tell you, but only a doctor
can prescribe this exam which is painless.

There aren't any clear symptoms. Two effects sometimes are tic douloureux (trigeminal neuralgia, extreme facial pain) and lack of dreaming. But it can have no symptoms at all. The only way to know for sure is to get a brain scan, like an MRI. It can be benign, but it;s nothing to fool with or postpone.

Symptoms for brain tumours are very varied, some patients present with visual or nerve problems, headaches, fits, dizziness, hearing problems, tremors, speech problems. Others have tumours that are quite advanced before they experience any symptoms at all. Diagnosis of brain tumours are the result of many investigations including scans and biopsy. Any of these symptoms should be discussed with your GP if they are persistent.

Lazy eye, clumsiness, slurred speech, vomiting, seizures, loss of dexterity, inability to urinate on your own, confusion, etc. If the tumor is just starting there may be no symptoms but as it progresses more symptoms appear.
