Yeah, Kym. Spanish pick-up lines are a language by themselves. :roll:

I speak English, some spanish (enough to not die), and know a smattering of words in Japanese, German, French, and I can count in Dutch. I desperately want to learn Farsi.

I can speak English, and I studied German for 4 years at school.. Getting a bit rusty, though; I can still hold a conversation, I guess.

Wasnt there a poll like this a few months back?

*shrug*

I speak German fairly well. I took it from 6th grade until I was a sophomore in college.

I also know some japanese, hawaiian, and spanish. Mostly enough to get me by.

I can also speak Cockney and read in old & middle english.

English, French, not enough Japanese or Greek, and Latin. But nobody speaks Latin, so I guess that doesn't count.

actually doesnt the catholic church still use Latin?

I learned Latin (forgot it on my list...I seem to have a thing for dead languages) in high school and it came in handy in college when I became a history major and lit. minor. It forms the root of so many words and it is also helpful in learning other languages. Most words come from latin or germanic languages.
