No. But I'm assuming that they can.
If they can only speak English, I have
much less respect for them.

So you can only speak one language, then (just to avoid any future confusion)?

I could probably manage a little bit of Spanish (was fluent at 5 - took it again in HS),
or Latin, and maybe even French, but in terms of anything useful, yeah.

I speak Swedish, English and German, can speak with Norwegians and Danes in their own languages (though most Swedes can due to the fact that the languages are pretty similar) and read Dutch but not speak it properly. I can also understand some simpler Latin sentences and even a litte ancient Greek if it's written with Latin letters. I can read Swedish and German mediaeval poetry, with correct pronounciation.  8)

It's OK. Languages are one of my obsessions and I've studied it at the university.  8)

Wargames were mine. That's what I mainly studied my first time through.
That and love.

Lessee...

Finnish, Swedish, and English. Danish and Norwegian, just as Lit. Some German (haven't spoken it since my school days, and it's been a while) and some Spanish. And then, of course, there's Estonian that I can sort of understand. Oh, and i can read some Latin, too, and some Middle Egyptian if hieroglyphs are used.

Middle Egyptian used to be one of my obsessions. Spanish is a current one.

I'm always impressed by people knowing a ton of languages.
Not sure why, probably because I never had the discipline.

Trying to tell myself that smoking won't actually make my stresses easier to cope with and cursing the fact that all the shit seems to happen at once (whoever said it always comes in 3's was clearly lying).
