I speak French (belgian) and could speak a bit of german if i got back into it... (used to live in Berlin years ago)
Spent 6 weeks in Argentina last year and i was surprisingly ok with spanish although i never spoke it before!
In the end the 2 languages i really speak are french and english though! |

I speak enough Spanish to ask your name, order some food, order some beers, and ask where the bathroom is. |

Except that at home we really speak Montreal's unofficial throat disease: Franglais.
