My french is rusty but I still understand it fairly well.

I can get by in Spanish if I HAVE to.

English, some American Sign Language. I'm trying to learn Spanish. I made it my goal to learn how to order a drink in as many languages as possible, I'm up to seven. The catch is I can only ask for the bathroom in two, so in the long run I'm kinda screwed.

English is sort of my second language, I learned how to read and write French long before I learned English.

I am still fluent in French despite rarely using it. My vocab suffers but it gets picked up pretty quickly when I talk to a few French friends.

Spanish is natural to pick up but I can't converse. One of my goals this year is to learn Spanish and travel to a country in which I could speak it.

He obviously writes Parisienne. A Quebecois would have been much more economical in his words. Usually one or two, accompanied by some obscene gesture.

I've lost most of my French for lack of use also. Used to have roughly a French high school student's level of understanding. Though my written always sucked, I still have enough to know that it should be "Je ne comprends pas." The French teacher who I had for the longest was a woman from Madrid who spoke Parisienne French, which a heavy Castilian accent. Bad enough that I wasn't being taught the dialect that is spoken in my own country; I had to also learn it with a fucking LISP!

I think anyone becomes fluent in any language when they're drunk. Case in point: when I went to Oktoberfest in Munich, my friends, ex, and I sat across from a couple German guys who spoke no English (and my ex spoke only very broken German). The more beer was had, the more conversation was to be had. They swore up and down to understand each other... me (being pregnant and sober), I didn't understand a damn thing on either side.
