I KNOW ABOUT THE PINEAPPLE SHOW OF WHICH YOU SPEAK.
I also remember an awesome French show about a clown ^_^ He was like Charlie Chaplin.

I speak German at the same level of a native preschooler and can survive most day to day situations. Recently I have started teaching myself Latin and am loving it 
Though I know various words & phrases in about a dozen other languages I don't count them since I can't hold a conversation with them.

I'm going to learn German/Spanish/Cantonese or whatever I can fit into a university semester next year. Yet to fully organise myself but it'll be more Spanish focused.
Currently can speak fluent Kiwi Bollocks & enough French to pass by as a tourist in New Caledonia.

I speak one word of Icelandic, that word is "epli", it means apple.
I think I can speak one phrase in French. "Avec le maison!" it means 'with the house!'
... I should probably stay in England.

I found the show about the French pineapple, this is what they used to teach us French in grade four or five:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBSflK1FTSY
And I found the French clown as well, his name was Sol and he was in a show called "Parlez-Moi", this was also shown to us when our teacher was feeling lazy ^_^ This was my favourite episode too, where he goes to Dracula's castle!

Well, estonian is my native language, and well, obviously I'm somewhat good at english. I'm also studying german for the fifth year now, i think, and french for the first. I've studied italian for half a year but I didn't have the time so i quit. I also studied russian for 7 years but it's still like chinese to me and I just really, really don't like it so. I'm looking forward to studying latin, which i shall start in uh... spring sometime. Lol s one good thing in going to a slightly catholic school.
Well, I think s all for now.

I can speak a little Spanish, and know a tiny bit of Latin (which we had to do at school when I was a kid), but would love to learn more Italian as I think it`s such a beautiful sounding language !!!.

SInce so many people are interested in learning language I thought I would post some very helpfull web sites. And Language lessons.
For Japanese:
1. http://freedict.com/onldict/jap.html
An english to Japanese dictionary (it works both ways)
2. http://www.myjapaneselessons.com
This sight is good for learning to read JPN (Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana)
3. http://www.nhk.or.jp/lesson/english/index.html
Free lessons for all levles.
3.5. http://www.youtube.com/user/takineko
Taineko gives really good lesssons I finished them all a while ago. You will dig them.
4. http://www.youtube.com/user/koichiben
Koichi is a Vlog that is all in Japanese, I find him interesting to watch as well as to improve and quicken my conprehention.
5.Wordchamp.com
Good for flash cards and drills. Has many languages not just JPN.
6. http://www.njuku.com/
Good if you already speak and read some, for practice.
7. www.Lang-8.com
This sight has many different languages but I use it for JPN. Yoo can post Blogs in the language you are learning and a native speaker edits it for errors. It helps with writing SOOOO much. Especially where kanji in concerned.

Dora barely explains anything and often uses improper/slng spanish.
Ex. Dora wants you to say, "Run Faster!" and gives you the word,"Rapido!". Rapido simply means faster and is improper because it is not a full sentence and is not conjugated correctly. The proper saying, I believe, would be,"Va ayunar." But correct me if I'm wrong.

Shouldn't "run faster!" be "corre ayunadar!"?
Va ayunadar, I think, would just mean go faster.

Ah, true! Although my Spanish 2 teacher says that they are interchangable that would be the better choice, but why did you use ayunadar? I thought the infinative was ayudar.
