    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 - although not proper by far

    I know how to count and say a few things in German and Spanish. And I also know some ASL (alphabet and some words).

    Oh, and I can speak a language we did in high school, called Double Dutch. And another one similar to that called Cat. Don't ask.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    English - native language and fluent

    French - took 2 years in high school and only remember a smattering of words (hi, bye, yes, no, thank you, ect.) and two phrases; 'what time is it?' and 'In english, please'.

    German - hosted exchange students in high school and learned some naughty words and the usual 'hi, bye, yes, no, thank you'.

    Spanish - generic words again. No complete sentences.

    Samoan - slowly learning this. I know a few words and phrases. Picking up on some Hawaiian as well.

    ASL - had a deaf neighbor who would babysit us when I was 8 yrs old. She taught me some words and phrases, but I can only sign 'I love you' now.

    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.



    I've been Boooo'd!
