I also know a smattering of Latin, but I'm not likely to use it in conversation outside of the Vatican, or a group of lawyers.

I was pretty jazzed when I first heard of the Latin Grammys, but I wondered if Gregorian chant was actually big enough to warrant its own awards show. ;)
 
Lets see...
1.) Hungarian, my native language! Grammar makes it so complex, that even though we have the latin alphabet (with some alterations for extra sounds), Hungarian is the second hardest-to-learn language... of course, Chinese is first, but only because of the pictogramms...
2.)English - I think you could guess that ;)
3.)French - been learning it for 5 years so far...
4.)German - even though I only studied it for a year, i speak German much better than French :eek: - I have many relatives who fled to Germany or Austria when the communists came, and I watched a lot of German tv as a child - and learnt a lot from it, too! :cool:
