    Default Non-english Language

    What language, other than English, are you most fluent in? How fluent is that?

    Did Italian as my major, and have an Italian father. But, I have spoken almost none for over a decade, and we never spoke it at home. So I am probably 30% fluent.

    I had a couple years of german in high school, and have the Rosetta Stone software that I've played with a little bit.

    I know very little at this point.

    3 semesters of French in college a long time ago. Je ne sais pas. Not really any degree of fluent, but I can still remember some phrases.

    I have a thing with languagues. I pick them up really quick but lose them just as fast. I worked in restaurants with illegal mexicans and picked up spanish super quick just from context. Out of practice is out of mind for me tho, its all rusty.
    On moving up, properly rolled:

    No hindsight for the blind.
    Norwegian ldo.

    After english I'd say german. If they talk slow-ish and don't use too many fancy words I'm able to hold a drunken conversation with germans.

    Tried to learn spanish a couple of times, the best I can do is still "Donde esta la tienda del queso?".

    I took 3 semesters of French in high school but didn't learn much. I've taken 4 semesters of Spanish in college and learned quite a bit, but did just enough to get by. I can read most boxes and instructions in both languages, but I don't speak well in either.
