Fluent English and enough Spanish to converse in a rudimentary way, mostly Chicano though, I probably wouldn't know how to talk to someone from like, Spain. I'm most fluent when it comes to fighting or picking people up. I'm not sure what that says about my upbringing. I guess those are the situations where more than a tenuous grasp of Spanish has been necessary. Querido if you're sweet to me and pendejo if you cross me

Just English fluently although like most people I know a few words in French, Spanish etc... but certainly not enough to converse.

Fluent in English and Spanish (though I don't speak it as well anymore since I rarely use it anymore, but I understand it/write it perfectly... very humorous at Walmart since I have very white skin and blue eyes) I need to practice.
I can say a handful of phrases in German. Specifically (besides hello/goodbye/yes/no/t hank you/you're welcome) "I don't speak German" and "Do you speak English?" Those were the things my parents taught me to say when I'd visit them in Germany during the summers while my dad was stationed there.
I can say a handful of words (mostly "Thank You") in many languages. I can slightly understand Italian if the speaker speaks slowly since it's very close to Spanish.

I only speak English. I do know a bit of Russian because of my Grandma although I'd love to learn how to speak it.

I speak some French but read and write it very well - I took a few years of it just to be able to read Arthur Rimbaud in its original French so my focus was always more on being able to read it, not hear it or pronounce it.
I'd love to learn Latin and the Catholic HS I went to offered it but my father wouldn't let me take it because he thought it was useless - apparently he's not aware of how many English words can be broken down to Latin roots. I'd also love to learn Russian or Italian but haven't found the time yet. Spanish would clearly be most helpful, job marketability wise and what not, but the language doesn't appeal to me for some reason. less

I obviously speak English, I can read and write pretty well in French but I don't speak it all that well.
I took 3 years of Spanish too but I don't really remember very much of it
