Re: What languages do you speak? read? write?
English (native) - fluent
Ancient Greek - Took 7 years from high school into college. Could translate fairly quickly with a lexicon when doing 2 hours a night. You never really learn to speak it conversationally...never understood that...
Latin - Similarly, about 5 years from high school into college. Not as fun as Greek; also, don't speak it much these days. Romans are fairly reclusive.
Spanish, French, Italian - I can often pick out various words and general meaning from the Latin background; Spanish and Italian definitely being easier.
