Languages, do you speak any? Options

[jonathan83]

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)

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.

Thats what used to happen when I was 16 and working in El Paso. 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
