    Spanish- Thanks to my boyfriend (He's from Colombia), I am around his family all the time and have picked it up very fast. I can understand it very well and can speak some basic sentences, just not have in depth conversations. I speak like a four year old hehe I think I learned more Spanish in 6 months with my boyfriend than 2.5 years in Spanish class
    I am wanting to learn it very fluently because I'm going into nursing. We have been doing "a sentence a day". It helps tremendously!

    Unless I can speak it, I don't consider it knowing the language. I know some words here and there in German (my grandpa is from Germany), Swedish (went to Swedish camp), and Italian (very similar to Spanish). But I don't consider myself "knowing" those languages.

    German (took it at school for 5 years... I am far from fluent but I know enough to get by if I go to a German speaking country)

    French (a tiny bit. Took it at school for 3 years. Can't remember much now)

    Spanish (a few simple phrases. Took it for a year in school)

    Latin (a few words. Took it in school for a year)

    Italian (a few words. Trying to teach myself Italian as we go to Italy on holiday, but I just don't have the time to learn it)

    I just wanted to tell. I learned a few words in French. I learned a few sentences. They are:
    Pardon me Miss/married woman
    You are stupid, I learned two ways of saying it.
    I am sorry. (Still a little messy)
    I am magnificent.
    You are magnificent miss, baby, boy, married woman.
    What
    When
    I also learned to be forms, like he is, you are, she is in singular and plural, male and female and stuff. My mom knows French, Arabic and some Spanish. So I learn and she teaches me Arabic and also learn it from school. I also started French today night. This is my today's lesson. It was fun but my mom said what was I gonna do. I gotta concentrate on my upcoming school. I feel sick these days because school's coming up. Its on 14th Sep. OOOOhhhhh!!!! hate it! Child's Worst Nightmare. Thats what we students call it.

    French: mother language
    English: fairly fluent
    Dutch: basics. I worked in the Netherlands for 5 years. I can read it better, understand it more or less when it's spoken. I can say basic things in shops, restaurants, etc.
    German: second language at school. I am supposed to be able to speak it, but after my stay in the NL, only Dutch words are popping up when I try to remember some German. I guess it would come back with practise.
    Italian: I took it for 1 year at school. Learned the basics but I forgot a lot.
    Latin: forgot it all!
