English and Ozark.

Yes, it's a joke, the Ozark I mean. It's more of a dialect, and my ex-wife speaks it better than I do, but then she lived in Mac county for several years.

Just English. I can speak Spanish about as well as a four- or five-year old, and I can write it about as well as perhaps a ten-year old. That means I can order food and ask for directions, but not much more.

I speak and write English and French fluently. I get by in German and speak fluent drunk.

Currently learning Inuktitukt. (...and I thought German grammar sucked)

English (1st language)
Marathi (2nd language-primarily gets spoken in the house when talking to or with my mother)
Hindi (spoken with the larger Indian community, but prefer to stick to the first two)
Sanskrit (I can recite/understand prayers in this language, but my mother is trying to teach me conversational Sanskrit)

I can also passably speak French (most of it disappeared after graduating high school), and can understand a good bit of spanish.

I can express my love in 8 languages and insult people in 11 languages but most fluently in Turkish and Albanian. Other than that, I speak Chinese (Mandarin), German and English fluently. Decent French, horrible Spanish.

Forced to learn Dutch at the moment. It's sound kind of like a Brit lost in Switzerland.
