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! smile.gif

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

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

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.
