More out of curiosity than anything else.
Who are our multilingual Obnerians?

Me: pretty much English only, but hablo un poquito de Español.

I would love to learn Italian and Portugese, though.

I can only speak English. Despite of the efforts of the Ontario educational system, the French never took.

English, reasonably well. Just enough Spanish to order a beer and ask for the location of the bathrooms. 3 years of HS German many years ago. And Ironworker.

I was born in Flushing, spent years 0-6 in Richmond Hills, Queens and the rest in Syosset, NY. Aren't you, or someone else on the board from Huntington or something very close?

He is studying in France, and I'm sure that he, like every other man (save FT and rparis74), enjoyes French, but I would think that he'd prefer the mouth around his dong to be a female's.

No offense Chris, but he's right. This : Image

If however, one day, I decide that I want a blowjob I'll just pretend to be gay at a family gathering and have my mommy call you.

Until the age of five i spoke only French, so i guess that qualifies me as fluent, i guess you could consider me and ESL American...

I used to speak French at the intermediate level, now I can basically translate it in its written form and reply to most simple questions.
I used to be pretty good with latin and german thanks to being a choral singer.
