How many languages do you know?

[cassiesmom]

English is my first language. I studied German in high school and college.

My mom speaks Czech fluently, so I know it a little. I've been to French speaking Canada, so I know a (very few) phrases- please, thank you, yes and no, and where is the ladies' room.

I know enough Spanish to be able to ask simple questions- mostly medical Spanish from when I was a bedside nurse. I would like to learn Spanish in earnest.

I traveled to Russia where I learned a very few words... the Russian word for a ticket kiosk is a kassa (say it like Spanish casa), so I've got my whole family trained to say they are going to the kassa when they buy movie tickets, theater tickets, museum entry fees, that sort of thing.

English primarily, smattering of German, Spanish and a wee bit (a few phrases) of French. Once at an out of town business meeting I was sitting with a collegue in the hotels large jaccuzi (I mean HUGE) and had an interesting conversation in Italian with these two young men. I had no idea what what said but we all had fun laughing so much I had to call Slick in Canada to tell her about it... hee hee. Also a bit of ASL... I studied it for awhile and try to practice when I have the opportunity.

English is the only language that I can speak with any skill. I know enough German for basic conversation/shopping/eating out but I am nowhere near fluent I took French in high school and can count and pick out words here and there but that is about it.
I can count to 10 in English, French, Spanish, German and Japanese

English is my first language
ASL- I know a decent amount of sign language because we sign with my speech-delayed son and because my SIL and BIL are both sign language interpreters.

I took spanish, French, and German in school, but I remember very little.

English

Some Spanish..it comes back to me when in conversation, but it sounds babyish I'm sure. Bad at conjugation.

Started learning Polish (my mom) as a kid to speak with my nana, but can't remember much except "I love you." (Thanks Bobby Vinton-for those of you who remember..)

Can curse a bit in Yiddish, Russian, Chinese..(but I rarely do

I'm in AWE of all of you who claim you're NOT fluent in English. You have me fooled because you're English is GREAT. You use difficult American English idioms and expressions.
