Spanish is a beautiful language and so fun to speak. I'm glad I met peop,e who are bi-, tri- or even qualingual. Most people are either "You're totally lying" or "Nerd."

Only English these days.  There was a time I studied French and American Sign Language...both have been long forgotten.

I speak English.....yup.
I was supposed to learn Spanish, but our program sucks. One of the first phrases they have you learn (before hello and such) is "Somebody stole my passport!"  :o
Another was "Do you have a pen?"
Oh! And let's not forget "Where is the bank?"

I also know odds and ends of ASL....mostly just finger spelling, but I'd like to learn more!

@Nightfire: I never learned Latin and I'm homeschooled! I was supposed to, but life was just too crazy for mom with 4 small children to teach.
Living in peace, aye many a season,
Calm in life and sound in reason,,
'Til evil arrives, a wicked horde,
Driving a warrior to pick up his sword,
The challenger rings then, straight and fair,
Justice is with us, beware. Beware!

There is no language called American, I think. It's the way Americans talk English. :D

In that case, I speak Australian. ;) I have, however, picked up a hint of an American/Canadian accent since most of the English-speakers I hang out with are from North America. My 'r' sounds have become noticeably less British.

I was joking. American's kinda have their own language, if you consider bad grammar a language.

Heh. I lke languages.
Me too! And I'm fascinated by accents.

I was wondering, do you speak fluent Khmer or do you just know enough to get by in your daily life in Cambodia? I noticed when I was there that pretty much everyone (in the cities, anyway) knew how to speak English as well as Khmer.

I know enough to communicate. 'Neakh nikhyey khmae teh?'

Nice. I once had my siggie in Brazilian Portugese, but I had to switch back to English, because everyone kept thinking it was either Spanish or Latin! :o

I have a touch of a Southern accent (American Southern, you understand).  Y'all, real quick, and several other euphemisms regularly enter into my ordinarily neat and tidy speech. 

It probably comes from having lived in North Carolina most of my life, but it's kind of funny to think that I do have that touch of an accent, but neither of my parents do, since they're from Illinois.
