I know we've got people from all over the globe on the forums, and many of you are typing in English, your non native language. Besides English, what other languages are you fluent in?

I took six years of Spanish, but I haven't used it in close to 3 years, so I'm getting very rusty with it.

So for me, it's about 1.5 languages :p. How about you?

I took two years of Spanish in high school but I don't remember much. Right now I'm taking German, so I'm getting better at it.

I can also speak and understand Macedonian.

Does Ebonics (SP?) count? Or must you be a California resident to claim that? :D

I took 4 years of Latin and 3 of Spanish... i can't speak any languages fluently but I could probably pick them up pretty quick, at least the romance languages that is.

I'm fluent in English and German. I used to know latin (but that doesn't really count, since noone speaks it anymore ;)), a tiny bit of french and a tiny bit of spanish. I think Arabic would be an awesome language to learn.

Fluently: English and Korean
Haltingly: Spanish (my conversational skills are horrendous but I can understand written Spanish well enough)

The unfortunate thing is how few people in the US even bother learning another language (but then again English is basically a universal language now).
