Anybody speak foreign languages?
I only speak some Italian languages, a little bit of Spanish language, not always... mostly English and other Europeans. And also, I do ASL. ASL means American Signing Language for the Deaf, and also, ESL means English Signing Language for the Deaf, too!

Re: Anybody speak foreign languages?
Do you speak all of these as fluently as English?
I can say 'Gomen nasai. Watashi wa baka na gaijin.' in Japanese.

Re: Anybody speak foreign languages?
I'm fluent only in English, but I have studied a lot of languages. 7 1/2 years of Latin, 5 1/2 years of French, 4 years of German, a smattering of Italian (one semester). I also took one year of Anglo-Saxon or Old English, which is essentially an ancient German dialect (the language of Beowulf). I was mostly a translate & read kind of student, not one who was ever very good at the conversational stuff. I think I was always wanting to be "perfect," and you can't be like that and learn to speak a foreign language. You have to be willing to be a baby for a while.
My older son took up German his freshman year of college, and earlier this year (as a junior) he spent seven months studying at a German univ. All his classes were conducted in German. I was very impressed by that. He is much braver than I ever was.

I am fluent in Spanish...have been since I was a kid. Talk to my kids in Spanish and have several family members that are native Spanish speakers.

Re: Anybody speak foreign languages?
I can say a few phrases in a couple languages, but not fluent at all. I understand a lot of french, spanish, german and russian though, just because I've been exposed to people that speak it.

Re: Anybody speak foreign languages?
I speak & write Greek, which is what I am! I also speak Spanish.
I would love to learn one of the Native American dialects. I've often wondered why in this country, no one has ever thought to teach/offer that in our public or even private schools. It sounds beautiful to me
