What foreign languages do you know?

Sometimes I wonder if these threads are designed by the government to gather intelligence on the geek community. What was your first CD, what foreign languages do you know, how many computers do you have at your house, etc.

Time for bed :Q
 
English and Spanish fluently.

I took 4 years of Latin but I've probably forgotten a lot.

I plan on learning Japanese in the near future
 
Engrish.

I did Latin for about 6 years, but i've forgotten most of it. I can read French, but the cheese eating surrender monkeys talk too fast for me 😉
 
Speak/Write/Read German somewhat fluently. At one time I could also get around speaking Greek but that was 3 years ago.

I could also program in VB, C++, and Pascal at one time.
 
English, Spanish (not fluent, but light conversational), German (just a tiny bit less than Spanish), and a very small smattering each of Icelandic, Japanese, Koine Greek, Russian, and Mandarin. Not even enough to get by, basically enough to introduce myself and a tiny bit else. Also, I can read but not speak a very basic level of French and Italian via the Spanish. It's really amazing how close the Romance languages are to one another.

Edit: an interesting thing about Klingon. A few parents taught their kids from birth to be bilingual Klingon (one parent spoke English, the other Klingon. It's an odd feature of the human mind, but we can easily learn two, three, or more languages as infants without confusion or mixing. It gets harder as we get older). By the time the kids were 4 or 5, they had completely rejected Klingon as a language, even not knowing its origins were fake. Linguists and psychologists believe this shows the brain can distinguish between natural and artificial languages and prefers the former.
 
english quite obviously. also hebrew and a tiny bit of french. i also speak TI-Basic and a tiny bit of ti assmebly.

my english teacher actually knows and speaks fluent klingon. he's american too. weird. i like star trek but this is ridiculus.
