    I know two well, English and French, and I've tried to learn a couple of other European languages, but only retained a smattering of them. It's not like learning to ride a bike - you do need to keep in practice to remember anything more than the basics.

    Yes, you should practice every once in a while just to remember words...

    English, Italian and a *bit* of Maltese (family background).

    I learnt Italian from Grade 1 to 8, so I'd say I know it fairly well. Although we were never taught how to properly put long-ish sentences together ;)

    Good, then you can answer this pressing question: does puttanesca mean "very few ingredients", as they say in the Lemony Snicket film, or is it "whore sauce"?

    English and French are the two languages I know. Although, I haven't spoken French in a number of years so I'm pretty rusty.... I can read/understand it better than I can speak it these days.

    My native English, Spanish OK, some French.

    My French is pretty rusty. A couple of months ago in Alaska, I was trying to communicate with a Quebec couple who spoke only French. I thought I was saying to them, "Tomorrow my wife and I are going to Kenai to fish." But afterwards I realized that what I probably said to them was, "Tomorrow my wife and I are going to Kenai to sin!"
