Yes. I speak the language of honesty and transparency. It seems at times like I am speaking Martian ... and many do not understand it.
I use this language 100% of the time.

Yes,
I speak French, Italian and Russian. Sadly, I don't have anyone to speak with. When we are in France, it comes back to me in a couple of day, and in Italy it takes that long also. My Russian is super rusty...I can swear a blue stream in Arabic. French was my first language, then Russian when I lived with my grandparents and went to church school, along with Arabic because we lived in Beirut, Lebanon. A

Yes - Russian and Polish natively; studied French and some German, now seriously working on Spanish and practicing it in Miami. Love reading Russian literature in the original - it is not really translatable, the language is so rich. Have used my languages in business, but not much. When I was an executive at Citibank, the HR "computer" identified me as a Polish speaker; management asked me to go to Warsaw, Poland to open and head up a Citibank office there. It was very tempting, but did not fit into my husband's career, so we did not go. Languages are great for identifying with a culture, at any level (local girls, merchants, business associates and so on).

My parents used to speak Italian when they did not want the kids to know what they were saying, LOL. When I took French in high school, I begin to understand the similarities in the romance languages. So if you speak Spanish, French or Italian around me, I may understand what you're saying. 3:)

Spanish. I learned it through classes in school, then I spent a semester abroad taking classes in all Spanish in Salamanca Spain and then for years I was part of a Spanish book club here in Boise that read novels in Spanish and then discussed them in Spanish. I quit that when I had kids, it was too much but I miss it. My daughter is going to a dual language school (Spanish) so I use it a little there and that is fun. My degree was in biblical Hebrew and Greek, not conversational, just dead reading language, but I don't use that much at all now and have forgotten a lot of it.-Kasey

With a name like MUNDT, you can probably guess that I can speak a very small amount of German, Nathan Gesner. I took 2 years in high school and that was the end of my real exposure. Using it typically involves family ... one brother trying to out-remember the other as to German terminology. Nothing beyond that ...

Hi Nathan - I speak Spanish, which I learned during my time in the Peace Corps in Venezuela. We learned by total immersion and I didn't speak anything but Spanish for 2 years, so I was pretty fluent (I used to dream in Spanish on occasion). But that was 45 years ago, and I don't get to use it enough anymore, so I'm pretty rusty. But after a couple of days in a Spanish-speaking country, I'm always amazed at how much I remember.

On a planned business trip to Brazil, I took a crash course in Spanish.
That did not work out well on many levels.
A following trip to Europe and Russia included a crash course in RUSSIAN.
That did work well.
Today I can not say a complete sentence in either language.
