I can speak English but dunno if a scouse accent counts. I can also speak french(takes me a while though, been some time since I used it) and I can understand spoken Greek but my reading of it leaves a lot to be desired.
Made a resolution that I will learn another language this year and not just the swear words!

Does anyone have a particular accent they do or dont like? I love geordie accents, they are so cool.

Personally I like the Irish accent since it's a like a song, more like when a foreigner listens to somebody speaking with Cypriot accent

[bacardi]

Ooh yes definitely the Irish one - theres so many of em where Im from that I forgot about them. I could have an Irish guy recite the phone book and find it interesting.

Have to be naughty and confess that the accent here didnt appeal much to me - my local friends are rather unamused when I chuckle or correct their English but it makes up for them wetting themselves when I attempt to speak Greek. Thats why I listen and answer in English.

My native is German. Beside, i have good knowledge of English, Serbian. A couple of words i remember of French from my school time and Spanish i know as well just a couple of words. Greek is going to be the next language.

Being born in East London within earshot of the Bow Bells means i can claim to be a cockney (prn: cock- a- knee) which means i am fluent in gibberish, gawd blimey apples an pears, 'ave a bannana.

native: greek
fluent(more or less) : english
others : basic hungarian-good enough to get around in hungary without any problems except when it comes to terminology that has to do with plumbing and other technical stuff
i used to be good in french but since i have never lived in france i am not used to the proper french accent,so i avoid talking in french so that i wont ridicule myself
currently i am learning swedish,i already had 2 lessons,its quite easy grammatically but difficult in pronounciation

Native is English. My Norwegian is as good as my English (I'm a Mancunian so that should say lots about my English). I can also do Swedish and Danish, and bits of this and that.

Eg snakkar Nynorsk.

ok vildt nok.. det er da lidt sajt at en der ikke er indfødt både kan dansk, svensk og norsk. der er masser af danskere der fx ikke kan svensk. godt gået !
