How many languages do you speak?

My native tongue is English of cause but I also have a good understanding of French, can speak very basic Spanish and currently learning Brazilian Portugese. You?

I speak English (I am American), and French. I actually write and read Franch better than I speak it.

I am learning Spanish through the Berlitz Language Center's Total Immersion program here in Atlanta. I am also being coached through their Cultural Consulting program.....my company pays for it biggrin

I should've learned Arabic too, but decided against it.

Fluent in English and Princebonics. wink

Can translate scholarly material from French and speak it fairly well (esp. when drunk biggrin )

Understand/speak a tiny bit of Spanish (left over from 2 years of studying it in high school.)

Tried to learn German (twice) and hated it. shrug
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.
