I know one language completely fluently, English. I'd say I know 20%-30% of fluent Spanish, I can understand quite a bit if the speaker speaks slowly, but I have a tough time speaking it back. I'd love to learn it, one day

I need to learn Laos so I can communicate properly with my fiancees parents. They already call me their son in law, but the language barrier is preventing a better relationship with them. For me at least. I would just love to be able to hold a conversation with everyone during gatherings and such.

My French is very rusty and often I get my German mixed into it. And just enough Dutch to get into a whole lot of trouble.

Prior to my accident I was a polyglot covering a few spoken and unspoken languages. Today I do not speak, or even write, English correctly. Worse some of my old languages will creep in unbidden to haunt me.

Hablas en Castillano conmigo entonces! :)


I've learnt Catalan by accident because there are two languages here. I've learnt French in school since 5 yrs old. Had a German bf for 7 years and at one point only had German satelite for nearly a year. I've grown up around languages, English was my Fathers third language. Somehow passed my Latin exam once upon a time at school. Last but not least, Cockney!
