    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 fer sure.

    French - just learned it in school ages ago, but when I was in Quebec last year for only a couple of days, the basics came back quite easily...I bet if I lived there for a year, I would pick up a LOT of the language. Totally different than the French in France.

    Japanese - had a few gigs there, just know a few words and phrases; if a Japanese visitor was lost, I could likely help them find their way.

    Bits of German and Italian (thanks to early voice training).

    English - fluent

    Finnish - basic understanding - mother's side of family is Finnish - Mitä kuuluu? Hyvä pulla! *lol*

    French - not fluent, but can read/speak if needed

    Czech - husband's family is Czech/Slovac - Dobrý den

    Latin - I was tired of French, so took 3 years of Latin in school! Ubi est canis?

    English (with a southern U.S. accent )

    Spanish (some, but very out of practice--took it in high school)

    Mandarin (few words and phrases--hello, good bye, thank you, I don't want it, I love you.)

    English----fluent southernese
    Dutch -----limited- Can communicate and read. I lived in the Netherlands for 3 years and learning the language was difficult because 70% of the Dutch speak English.
