How many languages do you know?

Dutch
English (I'm better at it than Dutch, actually... since it's a richer language)
French (passively, I'm not good at speaking it at all)
And I understand some German and Spanish.
Latin won't count as a proper language, I suppose.
EDIT: oh, and Flemish, I suppose. West-Flemish is quite different from Dutch, since I have to repeat nearly everything I say if I happen to forget that I'm talking to a non-west-flemish person

YES! Another Latin person! \o/ Our teacher was really great at teaching pronunciation, and she always made us read passages aloud, so if I got teleported to Ancient Rome, I'd probably get away with being extremely retarded rather than mute.Neonbob said:
Do they use the Cambridge Latin Course in America (with Caecilius... <3)?OT: I speak English and French because I'm Canadian, although hold the French because if I actually went to Quebec, the stuff I learned in Ontario-school wouldn't help me one bit. You'd have to go hunting for a Canadian French blog to supplement, or write all your exercises without vowels. Between the French and the Latin, though, I can understand a lot of Spanish, but I can't speak it because I've had no lessons. Oh, and I know a little bit of Ancient Greek, but I've probably forgotten it all now (it was a lunch course, nobody took it that seriously). Annnd... I can sign the alphabet in ASL? xP

Know how to read the Greek alphabet.
That's about it.
Also, LOL at people inflating their language count.

Only English and I barely speak that fluently. I have absolutely no ear for languages.
I was in a Spanish immersion program in one of my primary schools but I promptly forgot most of it after leaving. I learned a little French in high school and I did a German GCSE but I don't really remember those either.
The only language I'd really like to learn is Latin but they didn't offer it at my school.
