If i could learn any language, it'd be Arabic. Not only is it an interesting and challenging language, as is the culture, Arabic has a very high demand in the market, and will continue to have a high demand for years to come (at least a decade, i think).

Status: offline 		well I speak fluent Spanish and English, I can get by with some French (took some in HS), and very rustic German (I took one year in High school)...now with more time I hope to re-study French seriously this time, and German....if I can master those two languages I will be happy. I also know how to order beer and food in Polish, as well as swear, but that doesn't count, lol.

Status: offline 		I speak, read, and write enough Spanish for me to put it down as a skill on resumes, though it's been a few years since I studied it. Japanese is proving hard to teach myself and most of what I know from song lyrics and anime are simple words and some that are quite inappropriate. Because of research I did for a story, I can also swear nicely in French.

Status: offline 		I can swear fluently in Spanish and Yiddish, and I know a few select words in several other languages.  I can insult people all over the word but I know very by way of a useful language aside from my native English.  Thank you, NY school system. I learned my spaish, and more swearwords from my multiethnic schoolmates than mot people ever utter in their lives.

 Having traveled extensively through out Mexico and Central America, I speak/understand Spanish well enough to travel by myself and not end-up in a shit hole.

The language I am determined to learn is French. In fact, I purchased the ''Rosetta stone'' French learning tools / cd earlier this summer.

Status: offline 		 Pretty good English, I can read and speak Polish, some French from high school, rusty German, ok latin, and a tiny bit of ancient Greek. I can sometimes understand Russian, but that depends on how fast they are speaking. :) If I could, I would like to learn Arabic and Japanese, maybe even Persian to round out the dead ( or not so dead ) languages. I adore linguistics, and I can usually be spotted as the only one on the Boston subway system with latin cross word puzzles. Geez, how nerdy, but I admit, I enjoy them.

Status: offline 		erm....... well native english speaker here... i used to have a spattering of chinese from living in hong kong - which was 10 years ago - and at the moment i can only remember how to tell a cab driver how to stop and how to insult myself.  Oh and how to answer a phone!  I'm sure it could eventually come back to me...

i studied german for 1/2 a year about 6 years ago.  I've a smattering of spanish as well.  When i was living in Miami i could slightly converse (if they spoke slow)..... tho that was 2 years ago...... Oh! and i took spanish 1 in college - got an A - didnt learn diddly squat.  Havent learned anything about French past the basics. 

but if i was going to learn a language again - i'd pick German.
