Re: languages!
I take Latin at school, and I know a handful of phrases in a few other languages: Spanish, Italian, Modern Greek, French, Polish, German (Welch Dunkel hier!), and Ukranian (ironically, the phrase I say whenever anyone asks me to say something in Ukranian literally translates to "Written rock")
P.S. Anyone in Acadec at their schools just burst out laughing, I assume.

Re: languages!

Re: languages!
I remembering hearing my school was considering adding a Japanese class. Considering all the budget cuts, tons of teachers laid-off, I don't think that will be happening anytime soon. If it does, I'll try to fit it in my schedule.

Re: languages!
I can only speak English fluently. However, I'm currently learning Spanish and conversational Hebrew. I also took Chinese for a few years in elementary school (not that I remember anything), and I plan on learning Latin in the summer for several years.
I would love to learn French and Italian, but alas, I don't have the time right now.
