    Do ancient languages count? Haha, I'm doing my MA in Medieval Studies; part of that is being a Medieval Linguist. I'm currently re-learning Classical and Medieval Latin, and brushing up on my Old English and Middle English skills.

    I can also speak basic conversational German, and some Spanish.

    That's really cool, guys!

    I couldn't major in Japanese, but I studied it. As for Medieval Studies, that's interesting. Does that include Latin? It's the only ancient language I could think of, but it probably isn't ancient. I thought about making a group for friends to practice languages with each other, since there are so many other groups on here for other things. Only, I decided not to because I thought it would be lame and unrelated to fitness. I guess I just wanted to fulfill my curiosity.

    I took 2 years of German, a year of Spanish, and a year of French (which was my least favorite). I've also studied ASL and Korean in my free time.

    Funny! Well in addition to the language of love, I love Spanish and am fairly fluent...would love to learn Italian and sign language and maybe even French or German, but nothing is in the works at the moment.

    I can speak French and English at fluent level, good enough to work in both languages (and I do :p ).

    I know Spanish and have been trying to learn Korean for a while now. I am trying to go for one language per decade. Apparently it's pretty good to keep the brain "healthy" and active. It's lots of fun at least :)

    My main Korean resource, should people be interested. Works only in IE for some odd reason :

    I can speak English and Spanish, and a fair amount of German. I took one semester of ASL (honestly I only remember a little bit) but I'm hoping to learn Portuguese next :)

    I am German and as you can see fluent in English. Right now I'm working on being a certified translator for English. Apart from that I studied French and Spanish at school ages ago. I still can kind of read both languages well enough to get an idea of what a text is about, but due to lack of practice I can't really use either of them any more
