Awwww, You guys beat me to it....

English, Fortran, Cobol, C (but not that new-fangled C# stuff), Perl & Python.

I also have some German, French (from the public school system of Canuckistan), biggrin and some Esperanto.

If you bought a flight ticket lately, chances are you talked Java to a COBOL speaking system, so not that dead after all.

Real languages, Spanish and English. Perfect the former, very imperfect the later. biggrin

I'd love to speak Latin too, but then what the hell do you do with it? My approach to languages (or anything else, really) is a practical one. It's a means to and end. And there's no ultimate goal that requires Latin.

I read "Commentaries on the Gallic War" recently and I wish I could have read it in the original Latin. smile

Fluent in both English and French, a very decent Mandarin, plus some fairly effective Cantonese and Taiwanese slang.

Hmmm. Fluently?

1) Authentic Frontier Gibberish
2) Nonsense
3) A euphemism for "lies and bluster" that rhymes with Fullspit.

I speak those three fluently

I was once conversational in French. Today, in France, I would not die of exposure or of hunger or thirst. Provided a kind bi-lingual Frenchwoman decided to help me.

I hope one day to master "English", but since speaking the language with any accuracy seems pointless...

Tell the Brit that English is a living language.
