I was wondering, which two languages do you speak besides English (if it is beside), and what is the third one? I'm personally interested in languages, that's why I ask. 
English is my second language but I don't really consider it a second language, more like a co-first language, as I've been fluent since I started school at age 5. My native language is, what we (my people) call Low German. My ancestors originated in the Netherlands and spoke Dutch. They then moved to Russia and mixed in some of that. Then it was off to Germany where they actually took on German as a second "first" language, meaning everyone became fluent in both. Next move was to Mexico and they mixed a little Spanish into the "Dutch" they were speaking. Finally, they moved up to Canada and took up English. Anyway, so our Low German is a mixture of Dutch, Russian, German, Spanish, and English; mostly Dutch. I was actually able to read and understand the bit of Dutch written earlier in this thread somewhere! That was exciting.
On a family camping trip many years ago, we were walking back from the beach and were stopped by a couple in a campsite we were passing. They asked us what language we were speaking and it turns out that they were from Holland, spoke Dutch, and understood the majority of what we were saying! Most of what they couldn't understand was spoken too fast, they said. To my knowledge, Low German isn't an official language and doesn't have a written form.
As for the language I know a little of, that's German. My Grandparents' generation is the last to have both Low German and German as co-first languages growing up. My church, during my childhood, offered a youth Bible study class that was taught in German, and my mother made me, and my siblings, attend for 8 years! I started when I was in grade 1. Anyway, years later, during my 4th year of university I needed another option class and thought learning the German language might be fun. And boy was it ever! The best part is that I can have a (fairly simple) conversation with my Grandma in German. I think that's pretty special; it is to me anyway.
Well, was that a long enough explanation for you? I have to stop all this talking or no one will ask me another question!
