English, of course. Some of the heavier dialects are gibberish to me (there is some reality show from Scotland I think that I can only understand the word "f*cking", which is OK because it's every other word) but I can sometimes sound a bit like someone from a different country/area if I try.
French, a fair bit, but it's very rusty. I can read some German and understand less when spoken, and don't speak much of it. My Spanish and Italian are both of the "cafe" variety--e.g., enough to get a meal. I can puzzle out a few Russian words in Cyrillic, and can even speak a few words of it in a way that makes Russians think I am a native. (For about 1/4 second.)
