This got me curious from the other thread.. so who all speaks another language?
and I don't mean if you know a few words, I mean actually being able to hold a conversation, get around, etc. without using any English. Spanish - fairly fluent, can discuss advanced topics, etc. Portuguese - can get around and shoot the breeze(and i'd venture to say i could do about the same in Italian) Korean - can get around and shoot the breeze (but limited) --------------------  |

If finger-spelling 80% of my words counts, then ASL.

Spanish - once im warmed up i can carry a casual conversation, ask personal and practical questions, and discuss some "advanced topics" things like using the different present and past tenses different direct objects/pronouns. my grammar has got a lot better

I think it's cool when stark white people know Spanish. I recall at Walmart one time, I was looking at some item and overheard some mexican kids going back and forth in Spanish, kinda looking like they were making fun of this white dude that worked there. He turned to them and said something in Spanish and the kids got this wide eyed look and ran away.

My fellow employess would talk shit about me in Spanish, mostly about how white I am. Then one day, I turned to them and spoke perfect Spanish. Yeah, it was funny
