Swedish, French, slightly rusty (was fluent many years ago) (Bavarian) German, odd bits of Spanish, Italian and Icelandic... and a couple of extremely random and useless things in Welsh from having gone to university there.

Out of those which is your favourite language?

What language came easiest to you, and which ones came with difficulty?

Hard to say. Java was the first one I learned, but in the end, I recommend C# for high level programming. This is easy to learn—and gives you both the quick development of Java and the robustness of C++—and you never need to resort to any tedious workarounds.

For low-level programming and scripting, I like Go. Unlike C, this allocates memory automatically, ad has a builtin garbage handler—so there's no need to worry about memory leakage, buffer overflows and all that.

You can still speak them. Each and everyone of them has a far more intuitive and far less treacherous syntax than any verbal language I know.

I forgot to add PHP and Smarty to the list, though.

I've read a little bit about C#, I might get around to learning it. Thanks for the recommendation. I'm still fairly new to programming. I've been learning C++, Java and PHP. I'm expanding my horizons a little bit now.
