Not at all. It would have been quite clarifying, as a matter of fact.

福建話是我的母語，但是我也會廣東話，普通話和一點點客家和潮州話。(Hokkien, Cantonese, Mandarin, Hakka, Teochew)

Being born and bred in Australia, I obviously can speak English too.

Saya pun boleh cakap Bahasa Melayu, tapi macam taik je. Diri belajar kerana saudara-saudaraku tak mau ajar saya. Kawanku di sekolah semua pun cakap Bahasa Indonesia, tapi Melayu lagi best. ;) (Malay)

Je parle petit-nègre aussi. :P Mais j'apprends. (French)

Ich bin hungrig. (German)

Really, I'm fluent in English, Hokkien, Cantonese and Mandarin, proficient in Malay, intermediate in Frencha and shitty in Hakka and Teochew, and well, hopeless in German. And I can read Korean, if that helps. :P

Planning to learn Russian in college.

And some serverely stunted French.
