I took French for three years and still retain some of it (I read much better than I speak), I know a teeny tiny bit of Spanish (it helps when trying to make the Spanish ladies at work understand me
). And I know lots of random words in Japanese lol.
I took Italian for one semester, but I had to drop it because I kept getting it hopeless mixed up with French. Now I can only remember a few words.

Wow, this topic's older than I thought. Anyway, since I made it, I haven't forgotten English, my Spanish has gotten much better, and I've been learning random bits of Japanese (mostly hiragana and some travel phrases). My goal is to at least be bilingual, hopefully more. =D

I know a tiny bit of spanish. And my favorite phrase (although I may be translating terribly, so somebody let me know if I am) is Su madre es una vaca. Which I do believe means that your mother is a cow.

I speak Finnish, Swedish and English fluently, my French is okay and due to the fact that I know Swedish I also understand Norwegian (almot all of it) and some Danish. Thanks to my knowledge of the Finnish language I understand some Estonian as well. Additionally I guess I know a whole bunch of words and phrases in German and Spanish, even though I've never studied them. I'm thinking of starting to study Japanese next year (and I know bits and pieces of it already) at the university and um... I guess that's about it.
Then there's of couse those languages in which I only know a few words and phrases, such as Maltese, Italian, Latin and so on, but I don't think those really count in this case

I speak Chinese and I took several years of French.
Don't be afraid to see the truth, even if no one wants you to. Be yourself and not a fool. Don't ever be afraid to speak your mind and listen to criticism. Dissent is keeps our country progressive and willingness to challenge yourself is what keeps yourself ever evolving.
