I only know English and maybe a dozen words in Cherokee.

I would love to learn other languages but I don't think I would be very good at it now

My primary language is English and I speak Spanish fairly well. My Spanish skills are rusty though as I've not utilized them in a long while. I know a bit of German, but I certainly couldn't carry on a conversation. I wish that I knew German better and I'd love to be able to speak French and Russian. I have a friend who is fluent in Russian and I love to hear him speak it! If my German were better it would help me immensely with my thesis.

English is my native language. I took 3 years of German in high school, but all I can do with it now is read German wine labels! I remember the simplest of things, asking directions, ordering food....that sort of thing. I know a smattering of Spanish, Russian, and Hungarian words....but certainly not enough to understand the spoken or written language. I love hearing French, Italian, and German spoken! How I wish that I could speak those languages!

I speak English (obviously!), and I can say some things in Spanish, French, and Polish (a friend of mine moved to the US from Poland).

I'd love to learn more Polish, as well as learn to speak Italian.

I'm fluent in English and pretty close to it in Spanish as well. I can read and speak some Hebrew, Russian, German and Latin (When I was a music major we had to do a lot of latin and german), but i am not fluent in any of those. The only french words/phrases i know are cuss words


At the moment i'm trying to learn as much Vietnamese as I can - my husband is 1/2 Vietnamese so it's definitely something i want to learn. Right now i only know a few words though.

English, of course!

My senior year of high school, I took Spanish I and II, so I know the basics as well as how to translate a few things. I really want to learn how to speak Italian and whatever language they speak in Vienna (shows how smart I am
) in case I go there some day because I really want to!
