[talentdeficit]

native english speaker.

i am probably fluent in french, but i hardly ever use it anymore so i am not 100% on that. i understand everything i read with no problem, but i have to think about what i'm writing. conversationally i'm pretty good i think. i took seven years of it in school and also lived in paris for a short while.

my spanish is alright. i can have simple conversations with most spanish speakers and can understand most of what i read. writing is a different matter. i learned this mostly from books and from living with a girl from puerto rico and dating a girl from mexico.

i speak a little russian thanks to a russian ex-girlfriend who indulged me when i'd ask her to teach me words. reading/writing is hopeless.

i speak a little gaelige thanks to a grandfather who never learned english.

i know enough cantonese to know when cantonese speakers are talking [censored] about me and to buy/sell things. this is mostly from living in vancouver and eating at a ton of restaurants where no english is spoken.
