Writer's Block: Parlez-vous francais?
What other foreign languages do you know? Which one(s) do you want to learn?
I don't 'know' any other languages than English. I do enjoy languages, and etymology - I enjoy recognizing how word in different languages are related.
'Chess' comes from the same root as 'Shah', meaning 'king'.

I've studied Spanish (4 years - the only other language I can formulate sentences in :-), Russian (2 years), Welsh (1 college year, in Wales), Chinese (6 weeks :-)
I remember telling my mother when I was 11 or so I wanted to study Welsh. She said, "Hmmm... depends if your school offers it." My high school didn't, surprisingly :-)
