What languages do you speak? read? write?
I think it would be interesting to know the languages spoken or at least understood by 2p2ers. You can qualify yourself, as in good, pretty good, poor, etc
For me just 2, Spanish and English:
Spanish: Speak, read and write; excellent
English: Read, pretty good; write, good; speak, fair.
Anecdote: I remember while travelling by train between Florence and Rome to have a decent conversation with an Italian guy, I don't speak Italian, he didn't speak Spanish or English, but since Italian and Spanish are alike, we could talk during the trip (of course, mixing some spanish and English word, here and there). I remember also my frustration while in Moscow, to try to get some information from the locals was a real PITA; hell, I couldn't even read the stops on the subway system, since they use a different alphabet.
