I learned gaelic when I was little, learned Italian from my husbands family, was forced to take 4 years of Spanish in high school (it was that or french).

10 year spanish
1 year French
2 semesters Italian
3 Years Latin
2 Years Greek

Spanish and Latin are my best. I know some french - fries, toast, kiss, vanilla.

i could probably fake it at italian if i needed to. mil and sfil can both speak italian. hubby is italian. teach a few italian phrases here and there to the kids too.

i can usually read in a foreign language much better than i can speak it or understand it (spoken).

You ladies seem to have an innate ability to "fake it".

Well, I'm sure with enough practice, that's a problem he could lick.

Amen. Thus endeth the reading from the Book of Linguistics. (A fitting climax, don't you think?)

Oh, I would say that I have been considered a good cunning linguist.
