    Not really anymore. Used to speak French, can still get by if needed. Also, I can say beer, wine, chipmunk and fucking whore in hungarian as well as sing the lyrics to the chorus of the Doors song Love Me Two Times.

    Learning Swedish is a waste of time. I lived in Stockholm for a few years, and while I can understand Swedish just fine, my spoken Swedish sucks. Why? BECAUSE NO ONE WOULD SPEAK TO ME IN SWEDISH!!! They were so fired up to practice their English, and were always trying to be so damn accommodating, I rarely spoke to anyone in Swedish.

    Those damn Scans are just too nice!

    One of my majors in college was Romance Languages & Literature. Supposedly, I'm supposed to be able to speak some of them. However, to speak well, I need to get drunk so I stop thinking.

    In 8th grade a good friend of mine who had been living in Somalia for a few years taught me how to say "Fuck your father's camel!" in Somalian. Can't quite remember it now but I used it whenever I felt it appropriate back in those days. Nawsulawheela!? Something like that.

    I can understand Arabic real well but have trouble speaking it unless I'm drunk and then it just comes naturally lol. Glad I'm not the only one

    I can speak French at about a low intermediate level and Spanish at a high beginner level or thereabouts.
