Foreign languages - Acko - July 28th, 2013
Foreign languages are a gem to learn in my opinion. My favorite (and second) language is German, where I know very basic German. Honorable mention goes to Herge's Syldavian, because his comics are real fun to read

I never was good at learning foreign languages, personally. I'd love to be able to speak Spanish well, but it was never in my genes.
Congrats on learning German.

Heck... I haven't even learned German. Just a few greetings and stuff. But being mr amateur historian helps with that

Well besides being "forced" to be taught Spanish, I can't speak any language besides English that fluently, I can understand some German, Hindi, Japanese and I am trying to learn some Chinese.

I've always found it quite surprising just how easy it is to pass a foreign language class and learn basically nothing. That was how Spanish was for me as well.

I know English and French. I'm not fluent in French, so I'm not bilingual, but I know enough to get me through a good amount of conversations.

I'd say that by my definition, that's bilingual considering I know almost nothing of any other language than English.

I'm not bilingual. I know bits and pieces from various other languages though.
