    English = primary language
    French = I used to be able to speak it years ago.
    Spanish = I can "get by".
    Latin = I can read it OK.

    Ha ha ha .. I guess I know English, Bulgarian, Macedonian and German, also a bit of Greek, Russian and Spanish, but the best thing is that I'm fluent on most Programming Languages and that counts more than natural languages :D

    Haha ha ..

    Cheers,

    My 92-year-old Dad is the amazing one.

    Over the years, in addition to English as his primary language, he spoke fluent Italian, OK French, and passable Spanish.

    But more impressively, he taught Greek, could read Hebrew, and he spoke Latin fluently. Even though Latin is a "dead" language, he attended the Gregorian University in Rome in the 1930s, where Latin was the spoken language in the classroom.

    He he .. I don't know ancient Greek, but I know the modern Greek as my mom is originally from there and my father is from Bulgaria so I know Bulgarian. Also Bulgarian and Macedonian are almost the same - some people say that Macedonian is a dialect of Bulgarian. I lived in Germany and that's why I know a bit German and I'm currently living the US so I'm good in English and I'm trying to learn some Spanish since 50% of the us population is Spanish Speaking ..

    I speak English.

    My family are all currently going to classes to learn Adnyamathanha, which is the language of the Australian Aboriginal people of the Flinders Ranges area in South Australia.

    We also know a little AUSLAN, which is the Australian deaf sign language.

    My son is currently also dabbling in a little Klingon. :)

    Damn you guys are talented :p

    I know English inside and out.
    I can speak quite a bit of Japanese and am still working on it. Once I've got that mastered I'll move onto French and Spanish.

    I also know HTML, XHTML, CSS, action script and some PHP.
