I speak English fluently
Spanish (passable)
French (slightly less passable than Spanish)
American Sign Language (a bit. Still takes me a minute to translate others)

I am working on learning:
Romanian
Greek (Modern)
German
Russian

I forgot to list that I know ASL pretty well too. It has come in handy on occasion. I'm a little out of practice though

Sweet! I was made to learn it in middle school - a girl in our class was deaf, and although she could read lips really well, our teachers decided that learning sign language would still be nice for us to do.

I grew up next door to a girl who was deaf, and her parents were nice enough to teach the neighbourhood kids so we could play with her.
