For me: English (fluent, native tongue), a fair amount of Norwegian, a fair amount of Swedish, and I don't really know much Latin anymore but I took it in high school so I voted for it anyway.

jao is a tricky language, but I've gotten word that Trump University will be offering courses next semester and I plan on taking it for credits.

English. I've made attempts at Spanish and French, but I would be just as clueless as someone who hasn't made any attempts at those languages.

Fluently: English and Spanish

Also took some ASL classes, although admittedly I would rely mostly on fingerspelling as I am very rusty.

English & Russian, but I think I've let my rooskiy atrophy quite a bit over the years.

English. To suggest that my pathetic French and Spanish in any way, shape or form, suggests that I "know/speak" it, would be grossly false and misleading. In short, I suck at languages - just pathetic really. Why or why can I learn so many words in English, esoteric and otherwise, and so few in other languages (other than ones that have a hook into English, so I get a clue). I mean I know the word for the fruit orange in both English and French. It's well, orange. Tongue

English (as a foreign language, 12 years in school)
Italian (as a foreign language, 2 years in school, pretty rudimentary by now)
