What languages do you speak?

[Numberzz]

So guys, I thought it would be cool to see what languages everyone spoke. For me:

1. English (duh).

2. Spanish (not fluent, but I know a lot).

3. French(enough to hold a conversation with someone who doesn't use complicated words).

4. Sign Language (I'm not deaf, but I am almost fluent).

5. Latin (I can read and understand a lot of words, but I have trouble reading complicated poetry and the like).

 

If there is something that is not on the list, please specify!

I know! I learned Dutch without too many problems, but with Danish I gave up.

[Mebster]

Indeed. And what about Vulcan?

If I can say "live long and prosper", does that mean I can speak Vulcan?

[Special-K]

English and Polish. I'm working on Spanish, but I don't pick up languages quickly. I may have to turn to Rosetta Stone.

[Numberzz]

OK, I think I added all the languages people requested.

I was trying to learn Dutch, but then I realized that I'm trying to learn Latin and French. 3 languages at the same time is too much.
