LOL Karuuna, COBOL.

My answer: Nope.

Decent in French, but certainly not fluent. I'd be OK in France though. A bit of Ukrainian, but so limited that only certain family members understand it. Oh, and pig latin.

No.

I can pick out enough written-only Spanish and Latin to get the gist of a sentence---strictly from two years (of each) of the languages in high school.

I know snippets of French and Spanish. I would LOVE to learn Italian, but my brain doesn't seem to grasp other languages very well. I used to be fluent in HTML, but haven't kept up with all the new stuff. :-)

Landi, I bet if you were around someone who spoke Italian for a while, it would all come back to you. :-)

max, i went to this italian deli before christmas, and i heard this woman about my age speaking italian to the counter guy, and it was my nonna's dialect (milanese), and i had a small conversation with her. she said my diction was as if i had come from italy recently. i'm sure if i was immersed in it, i could pick it up.

btw, i did order all my antipasto ingredients after that in italian.

Used to be, but no longer. That's why I've been thinking about moving back to France.

I have Spanish convos almost every day, but I wouldn't say I'm "fluent" in that either. Just passable.

No.
I took French, Latin, and German in school, but remember none except some of the French.
Also, two phrases in Ukrainian - good girl and bad girl. I recall hearing the 2nd one alot when I was little.

Used to be in French. I can get by and carry on a conversation would not call myself fluent anymore.

I'm not fluent, but I can speak and understand Spanish. I've gotten better since working with ESL (English as a second language) students.

no, it has been questioned as to my fluency in English after hearing my southern accent.

Loved H.S. German and French...I was fairly proficient.

My two youngest went through grade school and high school in french so I helped them with homework...funny, I can read and understand better than my fluency, though.

Yes. Norwegian and Swedish. Hoping to be fluent in Spanish too one of these days...

My Danish and German used to be pretty good, but as others have said, when you don't use it for a while the fluency dwindles In other words, I suck at those languages now

Somewhat proficient in pigeon French, Ooh La La, and pigeon Yiddish, Oy Vey!

Proudly Fluent in 2 versions of Pig Latin.

1) Imay amway uentflay inway igpay atinlay!

2) EeazI Eeazam fleeazuent eeazin peeazig leeazatin!

Too many folks know the first one, so I prefer the second one. Plus its faster. Sadly, nobody I know knows it. It's been a looooooong time since I used it with friends in high school!

Morning everyone! Hope you're having a nice Sunday morning. I'm doing alright. The baby just got up once during the night and it was fun to do a little baby snuggling. :-)

Today's question is: Past or present, what is your favorite cartoon?
