What languages do you speak? Would you like to learn any others?

Along with English I can speak small amounts of German, Spanish and Italian. I'd love to be fluent in Spanish and German one day.

I can speak a teeny weeny bit of German, but not fluent enough to hold a full conversation. I learnt to speak the language in school 6 years ago, so most of it I have forgotten!

Well, once upon a time, I was fluent in both English and French. Now, probably neither.

My native tongue is English

I took about seven years of Spanish in school, but have forgotten quite a bit. I know enough to kind of understand some things.

I would love to speak Japanese, French, or German

English is my first language. I can speak and understand some Spanish. I took a little bit of Russian in college, but have forgotten pretty much all of it. I would like to be more fluent in Spanish - I just don't have that much opportunity to use it.

I once wanted to be certified bi-lingual, but now all I know how to say is "Where's the bathroom" and "My name is Katie"

The first sentence is what I was taught to use in school, not sure if the second one is completely right (mainly the "estan" might not be the proper usage).

¿Puedo ir al baño?

¿Donde estan al baño?
