    With grammar like that, why don't you focus on English first? :)

    I know only English. I took four years of Latin in high school, but I don't remember any of it. I would like to learn Italian if I ever had the time.

    Re: Languages

    Well, let's see. I know C/C++, Perl...

    Oh, you meant "real" languages. I know English (obviously), fragments of Spanish from four years of it in high school, and a few bits and pieces of German. I'd love to learn Latin, though I really have no idea why since it's not all that useful.

    Re: Languages

    I'm fluent in French (as well as English, obviously)... I can get by decently on my Spanish, since it is so close to French, and most words are derived from the same Latin roots...

    Queens, Bronx and a little Long Island :shock:

    Would like to learn sign language, above the gesture everyone knows.

    Re: Languages

    English, of course, a smidgen of French leftover from High School, and I can read and sing Hebrew, though I only can translate about 6 words. :P

    Re: Languages

    English, a pinch of italian, some Albanian, I took three years of Spanish and the only thing I can do with it is seduce someone with as much as I remember. Oh and the usual curse words of various languages.

    Re: Languages

    English, with a pretty passable effort at French and Hebrew. Add on a residual bit of Spanish, and a semester's worth of both Russian and Arabic. I'd like to top up the French, Hebrew, and Arabic, in that order. I've always been intrigued by Finnish.
