How many languages do you speak?
 
Maybe this has been done before. If so, I apologize. But reading Steve's thread makes me wonder, how many languages do you all speak?<BR><BR>I speak enough to order wine in the language of every country I've been to. Otherwise, English.

I speak one.<BR>I read two.<BR>Orally, I understand three... Or is it the other way around?<BR>Oh, wait a minute...that isn't me.<BR><BR>One. Perhaps two. Unless of course this posting is in a foreign language and, somehow I am reading it, understanding it and responding to it in the same language--without being aware of it. <BR><BR>I'm just not sure anymore. Merde.<BR><BR>Dr. Al
