QotD: Speak To Me In...

How many languages can you speak? Which languages can you read or understand?

My Spanish isvery limited, but I seem to know enough to get around when needed. There is a Spanish speaking service at my church and I used to attend that service, in addition to the English speaking service, before I had kids. Since I've had kids, attending both services is just too much to ask of the kids (and expect them to behave well). When I did attend the Spanish language service I could usually get the gist of the lesson and could easily participate in the song service. Even if I didn't always understand all the words I was singing in Spanish, I could at least sing them because Spanish has such consistent pronunciation rules.

I also know a little bit of German. I lived in Germany for a short period as a child. Unfortunately, I've probably forgotten most of it. I still know a few basic words and how to count to ten in German, but that's about all.

Update: Duh! I speak English, too (of course). English is my first language. I'm such a dumb American.
