Personally, foreign languages were always difficult for me, and I always found it amazing when people could just pick them up like it was second nature. I do know some Spanish, but I'm not particularly great at it by any means.

I know a fair amount of German and Swedish, mainly from watching Downfall

Well, Downfall is a pretty offensive movie. It's about the final ten days in hitler's bunker. The only thing that makes it fun is the parodies people make of it, like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RElwKjgn490

I voted no.
I love languages and would love to be able to speak more than one language fluently, but I can't. Best I can do is learn a few words, which I then forget a few months later.

I'm the same way for the most part. I can learn a lot quickly, but retaining it is the hard part.

Roughly, no.
But, I am using DuoLingo and I've set my PS4 default language to French to try and learn it. So, a little bit there, basic understanding now.
I'd also like to learn Korean afterwards. Right now I only have two phrases...

I'm not fluent in any besides English, but... I can count insanely high in Japanese (amongst other bits I know)... I took Italian in high school, and I know the tiniest bit of Hebrew that I remember from my prepubescent days.

Sadly not . I did study French and Spanish at school; however, I didn't learn either of them to fluency, and I'm very rusty with them anyway.
Would be nice to know more; however, I've been struggling to get motivated.

English is my second language but as you can see in other post I'm not 100% fluent at it. I only took 1 year of French but I forgot everything so no xD
