only slightly off topic, but here's a definition of Heaven and Hell:
Heaven is where the police are British, the cooks Italian, the mechanics German, the lovers French, and it is all organized by the Swiss.
Hell is where the chefs are British, the mechanics French, the lovers Swiss, the police German, and it is all organized by the Italians.

Well, besides English, truth be told, I am pretty knowledgeable on Quenya (The Language of Tolkien's Elves) I can't speak it fluently, but I do know how to read a lot of it.
So, yep. I am a Nerd, and proud of it!

Mostly Southern English but, I had a couple years of French in school and know some German after spending a couple years in Deutchland.

Oh I forgot, after spending most of my youth-early twenties around the bucking chutes at various rodeo arenas in the n.e.Texas circuit....I still remember and use some of the (rodeo) cowboy language :mrgreen:

I understand Spanish pretty well but I barely speak it. I've been trying to practice at work.

For English, press #1 :)
I do know just enough Spanish to get myself into trouble...I grew up in Miami and Spanish was a requirement in the public schools down there. Heck you must be bilingual to order a whopper @ BK in MIA now. Will the last American to leave Miami, please bring the flag with them? (J/K!) :)

I can order a beer in Japanese, German, French, Italian, Tagalog (Philippines),

Chinese, Spanish (covers a large part of the world), Klingon (covers a large part

of the galaxy), and of course English.
I only speak English fluently.

I can say "bitch", "goat", and "I love boobies" in Russian. I have a friend from Russia and he taught me that. I also know how to say bitch, fucking, dirty, lesbian, and gay in sign language. Yes I know I'm a child. But when drinking with someone who speaks Russian and someone who knows sign language, learning those word seems like a good idea.
