What Did He Say?

I know we have a rather diverse group of people her, so I was wondering: how many different languages can the people at FAC speak?

Me? I know bits of French and Italian (not enough to carry on a conversation), and I speak very broken Latin.

I know, not very impressive. I shall not sit here and wait patiently to be blown out of the water by Lexar and his fluency in every language on earth.

Speaking latin and ancient greek is kinda weird considering they are so called 'dead' languages, or non-spoken languages Razz

They only really exist in written form today.

I can speak French and Gaelic (since I take them in school) but I really really hate Gaelic. It's such a useless language.
I can also speak Pig Latin and Ubbi Dubbi fluently, does that count? Razz

I know a couple languages:

English (duh)
Mandarin (I go to learn it every Sunday because my parents are from Taiwan*)
Spanish (I learn it in school)
Taiwanese (Understand... barely)
Japanese (maybe a word here and there...not much)

That's about it!

*Taiwan-A small island off the coast of China. It is a country (for you who have never even heard of it).

The real question is, could you have a good conversation with a native speaker, not if you can understand this or that, because you can always figure something out even if you never spoke it before.

I can speak the English. Pittsburgh-style.

Trying to learn Russian, but it's going nowhere fast.
