Do I speak all these languages?
No. Unfortunately, I do not.
But several of them I do speak, to various extent, and the others I would like to speak more information below. The choice of languages is based on which regions I typically travel in and/or have visited.

More information on my languages:
I have taken courses at some level in all of these tongues, except Danish, Norwegian, Spanish, and Portuguese.
In senior high school, aside from English I simultanouesly studied French (Swedish diploma level: 3 år som B-språk), German (3 år B), Italian (3 år C), and Russian (3 år C). Then, at Stockholm University I took minors in Russian and Italian (40 Swedish university credits each). I have taken crash courses in Mandarin Chinese, Bahasa Indonesia, and Arabic at Columbia University, and had a private tutor in Arabic for two months in Yemen.
For the purpose of language training, I have been staying with families in England, the United States, France, and Italy. I recently received a scholarship for studies in Spanish, and am planning to combine
intense classes in New York in October
with a later family stay in some Central or South American country (Mexico? Colombia? Honduras? Ecuador? Argentina? God knows.).
I can do pretty serious interviews in Italian, French, and German, and am conversant in Russian. For Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Arabic, and Bahasa Indonesia, my skills are at a very basic level but they do make me capable of communicating with people that I meet when I travel. Which is precisely why I choose to try learning these languages in the first place.
