Just go ahead and post the known etnicities of your forefathers, as well as any languages you know/are interested in.

My entire ancestry from the same 300 mile block ofearth, as I'm half English, a quarter Irish, an eighth Scottish and an eighth Welsh. One could say I'm United Kingdom-ish, or the whitest person to walk the face of the earth.

My English vocaubulary is extensive (far more so than the average English speaking person) and I am fluent in Spanish. By fluent in Spanish, I don't mean can maintain halting conversation with the clerks at my local fast food restaurant, I mean I have a very good knowledge of the language (although my conjugation skills could use improvement, but there's just so many fucking verb tenses...) and an impecable Mexican accent. My first six years of schooling were at a public Spanish immersion school (I'm not the snobbish rich kid you all seem to think I am, really) where all classes are taught in Spanish by Mexican/Spanish/Argentine teachers whose first language was Spanish. I talk too fast for my current Spanish teacher, (who is totally imcompetant, I might add) who is originally from Argentina, to understand me because all of my conversation at school was in a fast, Mexican accent.

I also have a working knowledge of French, but not much more than the average tourist, just with a better accent.

Well, my ancestry consists of about 40% Irish, 10% Dutch, 15% Native American, 10% Scottish, & 5% English, give or take. Some black in there, somewhere, too. (My family really got around)

I am fluent in English, & am currently learning German, with the express intention of learning Spanish, as well.

See, the bright green text that characterizes your name on the far right of my screen drew my attention closer to two choice words that inicated your heritage. And "HELLO DEUCE" "FUCK YOU".

100% Polish, motherfuckers. And maybe 0.001% Mongolian.

I speak Polish, English, and half German.

I can understand spoken Russian, maybe Czech.

I can speak 12 dead languages lost in the sweeping sands of time. I have seen the faces of kings long dead throughout the aeons. I have watched empires rise from the earth & I have sifted through their ashes. I have done things children see in their darkest nightmares.

I also like bacon. It's delicious.

I can speak bear too. You think we don't have bears in Poland? We have penguins too. They are the basis of our economy.

Since I'm scandinavian and Scandinavian languages are very similar, I guess you could say I know Norwegian, Swedish and Danish.
I took 1 year of German classes in school, but I didn't care for it, so I quit. Some German words are a bit similar to Norwegian and English, and not that hard to learn.
Also I think my English is decent, but there are some more complex words I don't know yet.

Scandinavian languages are the easiest. I mean, how hard can it be to communicate by bashing a sword against a shield and roaring?

That is true, BUT:
Through the magic of communicating through microphones through the interwebbernets while playing TF2, I'm learning a bit more every day.
