    If I stayed in the area I was in down in FL when I was little I would be fluent in Swahili O.o

    Where? I've been trying to find a Kenyan/Tanzanian community in Florida, been failing thus far.

    I guess that makes sense; Miami's pretty diverse. I'll have to keep an eye out next time I'm down there. Got to find my Swahili peeps!

    Have almost mastered Engrish. Beyond that, I took a couple years of Spanish in high school, but it could probably only help me find a bathroom at this point. Speak some Hebrew, and have started taking Arabic (just the VERY beginner class so far).

    languages I'm not that bad at:

    native language: English

    French - I can understand a lot of it and make myself understood to quite a high level, as in I can have a conversation in it, but my grammar and pronunciation is pretty dire. And I suck very badly at writing french. Well I can write it but the spelling is dire.

    Arabic - pretty basic but I can read and write Arabic. I can make myself understood going out and about in Arabic countries... have lived in Arabic speaking countries for the past 5.5 years

    languages I'm supposed to be trying to learn:

    German - I'm a beginner and i also did 1 year of German at school. My husband wants to go and live in Germany after we're done living in the Arabian Gulf so he's told me to learn German. I'm mostly doing phonics at the moment because I'm dyslexic and I don't have a hope in hell of learning to read and write in German unless I spend a lot of time studying the phonics without worrying about other things at the same time like grammar and vocab. It's easier than English phonics although there's some irregularity, i.e. 2-3 ways to write some sounds, although all sounds are read the same way so reading is easier than spelling. I haven't even tried learning to spell German yet.

    langauges I know a few words/phrases of:

    welsh
    zulu
    afrikaans
    spanish
    old English (as in the language of the Anglo-Saxons... Shakespeare's English is actually early modern English, even though most people think of it as "old English" - it's not)
    esperanto - in fact I can say "please could you send for the hall porter, there appears to be a frog in my bidet" in esperanto

    ETA: and Hebrew... I forgot about that one. I've probably forgotten about one or two others in the "know a few words/phrases of" category
