English - native

Latin - good, but a whole lot of good that does

Spanish - bad (which doesn't make sense because my grandma was fluent, but my dad never learned it from her)

Russian - errm...getting there

Sioux - taught to me by family

Armenian/Croatian - conversational; taught to me by friends

Dutch*, German, French, Italian - dabbled in


* dutch is probably the funniest language you will ever hear or see...there are words with three "e"s in a row... "eee..."



Whoever said that languages should be taught earlier is absolutely right. I always envied this one girl whose parents sent her to language school at a very young age, so she was fluent in 7 languages by the time she was 10. If we learned them younger, when the part of our brain responsible for language is more active, things would be so much better...
