What languages can you speak?

I'm sitting here on the boards procrastinating instead of doing my Chinese homework...so I'll compromise...
There seems to be an international influence here-so who can speak or is learming to speak what?

I know or forgot:
French (which I'm forgetting), Chinese (learning-if you can call it that)
Forgotten: Hebrew after 4 years of learning, Latin after 4 years of suffering

and is is "Jak ze mas" (phonetically) in Polish for "How you doin'?"

Oh, I forgot - American English and a bit of English English-

I learned Esperanto a few years ago, but since I know no one else who knows it, I have lost much of it.....

I am starting to learn Russian

Oh, and I speak English good.

pig latin

How about the language of lovvveee (said in my best Barry White impression)

As for Latin-
"Latin is a dead language,
as dead as can be-
Its killed all the Romans,
and now its killing me..."

In order of descending knowledge: Spanish, Japanese, German, Italian, French.

And I know very, very, little of each.

Je parle en francais un peu.
Watashi mo nihongo wo chiyotou hanamasu.

Je peux manger du verre, cela ne me fais pas mal.
Watashi no tanjyobi wa kyou desu.

Now just because I'm a linguistics major doesn't mean I speak a bunch of languages. It's just a coincidence.

American English: yah, I speak that. Being in Canada has given me a taste of Canadian English as well.

French: I took it for a year, and can speak it marginally.

Hebrew: Took it in high school and university, and spent some time in Israel, so I'm fairly good at it..

That's about it, but I'm always up for another language. What do you folks recommend?

does PIG LATIN count?

what about computer languages?

english
jeg kan snakker bare litt norsk.
picking up a few words here and there in the following languages...
russian
swahili
persian

I used to be able to sorta speak Klingon.
About five years ago I bought a couple of those English-to-Klingon-and-back-to-English dictionaries and taught myself how to string together about three horribly simple sentences. Then I got bored of it. And I can't remember anything now. Damn shame, that.

I am forgetting French, and I now a tiny bit of Serbian and Spanish

i can speak some pretty good spanish... ive almost got 3 years of classes under my belt, and like 3 more semsters to come... after that i wanna learn japanese...

Bad english

Spanglish and Japanese (chot-to!).

Oh, and all the French I know is from watching French movies. So it ain't so great!

I used to keep a long list of how to toast in languages but I seem to have lost it. I was up around 25 different languages or so.

-my own crappy version of english (i won't even capitalize! )
-steadily declining spanish (can still read it, but thats about it)
-jag lärar svensk och förstår norsk en lite också. (i'm learning swedish, so i can understand norwegian a little as well.)

i love languages and want to learn a lot more.

write, but likely not understand: sanskrit


i want to learn sankrit so i can read vedic texts!

i know english, and i understand spanish fairly well, and used to speak a bit of russian. lots of people think russian is gutteral and ugly - it's simpler than english, but a lot of the individual words are far prettier than their english counterparts.
