How dare you not include Latin! You'll pay for this! Tongue

Well I know three:

English: Fluent
French: Enough to get by though I'm rather rusty
Latin: Rather good knowledge of it

Fluent English, enough Spanish to begin to get by, kind of (For instance, I can now say such handy phrases as 'Vostotros estabais comiendo unas faldas.' Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy which I'm sure I will use many times)...
Doesn't look right. Vosotros, just for instance.
[]quote]I also know a few words of French (My most complex sentence is probably 'My name is Cheese', but due to psychotic French spelling I haven't the faintest idea of how to spell it),

Je m'appelle Fromage. Not that there#s anything wrong with French spelling. You can tell how a word is pronounced from the way it's spelt. It just doesn't work the other way round, unless you're speaking to someone with a really really thick Occitan accent.

That looked well until the last word, which doesn't exist.

Just English.

I used to take Spanish, but I've forgotten all of it.

That explains things a lot... I can picture you as an animé-loving libertarian Wapanese dude.

No wonder you're libertarian. LOL

I like anime(never been a secret on the forum), but I'm certainly not a Wapanese person - sure I enjoy some aspects of Japanese culture but I like good old American culture too.

To answer the original question, I know many, many languages.  I just can't speak any of them except English.

Don't know any English, none at all.  Spanish I'm learning a little bit at a time though.

I know English isn't your first language, so I'll cut you some slack. When someone says "good old <fill in the blank" it doesn't mean they are referring to something that's actually old. Like I could say "It's been a while since I've seen those good old boys" when referring to some guys I've known for a while. It's kind of a southern thing too, so I wouldn't expect it being taught in an English class.

English (inc. lots of regional dialects)
Welsh (enough to get just about by even if I don't know a whole lot of words. Actually a very easy language to pronounce (despite popular myth), you just have to get over the different-but-the-same alphabet)
French (reading; o.k. listening/speaking; not bad; writing; dire)
German (dire. But more than most people over here; the traditonal source of german words is old WW2 films)

It's quite intuitive in the early stages.

Plus, it's rather phonetic Smiley
