Re: What languages do you speak? read? write?
English - native speaker
Spanish - 6.5 years of schooling, I could always understand and read it very well but have problems speaking, partially because Jersey accent and Spanish just don't mix.
Latin - I can read it decently, but still need a dictionary to get through some passages. It does make all the other Romance languages easier though so that's a plus.
Ancient Greek - I was mediocre at it since I tried to learn it before Latin and Greek is much harder, but if I picked it up again I'd be much better at it. I can recite both Latin and Greek poetry in meter, always a handy skill. I can also write in either language if I'm forced to.
Can anyone recommend good textbooks for Arabic and Russian?
