I've heard only English for a few months*; I live in one of the very few areas of the UK
where there are very few foreigners.
*obviously I've heard material from language programs but not in everyday life.

French (woke up to Radio-Canada)
German (dialogue from my TY course CDs)
Romanian (co-worker from Romania chatting with his wife)
Unknown Chinese language (Chinese students chatting in a cafe)
and I've only been awake for four hours!

I went to Sydney on the weekend. Some of these are guess but I'm pretty sure about a lot of them.
Mandarin
Cantonese
Korean
Thai/Lao
Vietnamese
Hindi and maybe Tamil?
Greek
Italian
Spanish
Arabic
Turkish
Spanish
Latvian or Lithuanian
Russian and possibly Croatian/Bosnian/Serbian
I also heard other languages which I have no clue about.
When I go to university in Sydney, I wish to move closer to the city, about 1 hour out. It's really a polyglot's dream. I'm not a polyglot yet but I do have the dream! :)

English cos I'm English and people speak to me in it.
Dutch cos I'm in Holland.
Frisian because I like to have a little look at the Frisian channel every now and then.
I may hear German later because my housemate is German and listens to the radio in his kitchen.
