English is my main language... followed by Spanish, which I learned in High School... followed by Japanese which I am in my second semester of.

I'm fluent in English (okay, stating the obvious, but hey )

I used to be fluent in Spanish - I went to a spanish immersion elementry school from K to 5th. So I had six years of learning my maths and sciences in spanish, by the end of 5th grade I was actually thinking in Spanish (my definition of fluent is when you no longer mentally have to translate things back and forth, you just know the words).

However, I dropped Spanish in 6th grade and began taking German. Got frustrated with that (the teacher was never there. I hate distance learning...) so I started taking Latin last year.

I'm thinking of pick up Spanish again in college, it'll be an easy way to get language credit, and I really do want to re-learn the language.

They call Fries " frisian" in english.


Oh, and Drents is a dialect, not a language. Don't mean to be rude or anything.

I don't know if its mandarin or Cantonese. They aren't really swear words. More like Moron, or stuff like that. I'll ask my cousin if they're mandarin or cantonese.

I've recently added very very small amounts of German to my languages. My roommate speaks fluent German.

It's not really something we need to be discussing nearly two weeks later. Back on topic, please.
