Default Re: What languages do you speak? read? write?

native english speaker...read/write at an acceptable level.

can order food in a mandarin speaking chinese joint. very, very basic command of the language. can't really hold a conversation. also recognize some taiwanese.

can say "i have five milks" in german.

i failed every french, german and italian my first time around in college. mostly, I was a giant slacker who skipped alot of class. i took a year of mandarin the second time around but have forgotten almost all of it. taiwanese was my first language but haven't used it in 20+ years.
