English (American and British)
Spanish - Enough to get by and have my Hispanic parishioners laugh at me
ASL - Fluent with one handed alphabet and can speak enough to help someone and do a rough translation.

God bless-

I speak English. That is the only language that I speak. However, when I was a kid I lived in a Spanish speaking country and to this day I can go from 0 to fluent in Spanish without thinking about it. But ask me to give you the Spanish word for something and I can't. It is very odd. Spanish is in my head somewhere. Ijsut don't know how to easily access it. That and sometimes when I stub my toe or something, the exclamation is in Spanish.

I studied Russian after I picked up the first year of it on a 2 week visit. I am out of practice.

Haha. Yeah, there's certain times when I want to say something in English, and I think, "I wish I could just say this in Spanish, it'd be so much simpler and elegant." But then there's times in Spanish when I wish could just say it in English (Spanish can use formal expressions sometimes that will take like 10 syllables to finish, and I could say the equivalent in two English syllables).

Yes,
But only if you have short term memory loss and are friends with a clownfish.

English.

I know a good bit of Spanish, but am nowhere near fluent. Basically, I know enough to correct my students when they say something rude in Spanish thinking I won't catch on. I studied it in high school and passed the AP exam...but that was awhile ago, and I've only spent one week in a Spanish speaking country. My sister is fluent though.

I studied French in elementary school. I can count to 100 and recite John 1:1 and ask a few basic questions. My other sister studied it all the way through college and lived in Paris for a semester - she's fluent.

I know a handful of words and phrases in Italian, German and Polish.

And...I can translate some words and phrases into Sindarin or Quenya, Tolkien's two main invented elvish languages.
