Do you speak more than one language? What languages do you speak? Are there any languages you'd like to learn?
English is my first language. I had five years of German, from eighth to twelfth grade, and I remember enough that I can have a totally awkward conversation with a native German-speaker who knows as much English as I know German, lol.
I also learned the alphabet and a few key signs in ASL when I was a kid; fingerspelling has come in very handy (pun unintended) on several occasions.
I had some Spanish in elementary school, and I can't speak a lick of it (aside from a handful of random words and phrases), but I can usually suss out what's being said if I'm listening/reading Spanish. I'd like to become fluent in Spanish, at some point.
