    I speak some Spanish! I like Shitzulover850 understand more than I can speak! My father was mexican, so i picked up alot from his side of the family(when he was in my life) I have not used it alot in life, but there have been times it has come in handy. I spent some time in Honduras when I was in the military, and was appointed as Translator for my Unit. Talk about It all coming back to you! he he he!! I have also taught my 6yr old some spanish.

    I moved this to General, as that's where non-pet-related polls go!

    Anyway, I speak a little French, and a few words of Spanish (courtesy Sesame Street and immigrant friends), and know a few words each in Swedish (I can count, and say snow and a few other things), Polish ... about three words in Mandarin Chinese ...

    And I can say (or at least spell) "Merry Christmas" in many languages!

    I hope you're not planning to move all the non pet related polls over here, you'd be one busy woman! and, i can't say (or spell) Merry Christmas in many languages, but, I can say the alphabet in french and spanish! I think, anyway! hahahaha, i used to be able to, at least!

    Ich spreche Englisch als Fremdsprache, meine Muttersprache ist Deutsch. Außerdem hatte ich fünf Jahre lang Französisch in der Schule, aber jetzt kann ich nicht mehr viel davon. Ich verstehe ein wenig Spanisch und Italienisch, und jetzt ich habe mir vorgenommen, demnächst Latein zu lernen.

    LOL, did anyone here understand what I've written? (That was German)


    I speak English (more or less LOL) which is a foreign language for me (my native language is German). I also took French for five years at school, but I cannot speak it anymore (at least not very well). I understand a little bit Spanish and Italian, and I have plans to learn Latin now!

    Does anyone here speak Latin?
    Edit: I just saw that Miss Z does - how cool!! It's such an interesting language, and you can find the roots of so many other languages there! Absolutely fascinating!

    It is a brilliant language, even though it's not spoken anymore I would definitely learn it, speaking languages generally comes much easier once you have a firm grasp of Latin

    Kirsten I understood

    I speak English (well it's up to you to decide whether I do ), French (have been married to a French for 7 years soem hundred years ago), Italian, can read Spanish and have forgotten all my Latin which I learned in school for 6 years - actually it was one of my favorite things in school together with mathematics- ok I admit I was a weird child

    I can say "I don't speak Greek" in Greek and introduce myself in Japanese

    I studied Latin in high school & Spanish in college, so I can remember
    a little of both. Also Gaelic. As a kid, my mom & grandma would sit for tea
    in the kitchen & talk about "grownup stuff" when I was a kid. I had to learn
    Gaelic to keep up on what was being said.I was a nosy little kid.

    I think Gaelic is a very interesting language, but it seems to be extremely difficult!
