I know a little bit of Spanish and will be taking Latin next year and throughout high school.
I know a little Spanish and a little bit of Japanese as well. I'm taking Japanese now, with one year already under my belt, so I'll hopefully be getting better.
I've taken a year of Spanish in school, and will probably eventually take a 2nd year.
I know very small amounts of German, French, Japanese, and Chinese and what I think is Bohemian or something. I can speak them, but not write them.
I've taken 2 years of Spanish, and I never have to take it again. ^o^
I've taken two years of Spanish, and I plan on taking two more years of it.

6 years of spanish. My uncle tried to teach me japanese before so I could speak with my cousin, but I gave up really fast and don't really remember anything I learned.
I'm fine sticking to spanish and english though. I'm certainly not fluent, but I'm getting there.

Wow, cool. But after 6 years, you're still not fluent? How about conversational? Wiat, you have a japanese cousin? Coolio

Yeah, my uncle was a marine and somehow ended up marrying a japanese woman and having a daughter. They all still live there, he's a post man.
And I dunno, I'm really close to being fluent. I'm bad at speaking quickly though, and I ahve a very very very very very clear american accent. I can certainly hold a conversation in spanish, it would just be a little slow and there are probably a few words that I wouldn't be able to translate.

Would they be willing to sell their daughter to me? I'm kinda lonely.

Didn't you hear, Houdini is Pedobear.
The only other language I know is Spanish, but barely. befuddlement

Dang. Well, let me know once she's of age. I'd be willing to pay good money, assuming she's in good condition.

Okee dokee.
I know bunches of French. Or however much two semesters of it is. Also some Japanese. Only most of the Hiragana, though.

Same here. My worst subject.
At my school you're required to take 3 years of one language or two of one and then two of another. I took three years of Spanish, and I'm happily done with it.
I wanted to take Latin my Junior and Senior year but had no room in my schedule, so I'll take it in College or somewhere.

Same in freshman year, but last year i actually did worse in english, but that was more because of the teacher and my laziness than the subject itself.

I've got one year under me, and I can easily hold a conversation with any one of my mexican neighbors.
Albanian, English and I'd like to learn Latin later on.
I speak a little Spanish due to my job and the overabundance of Mexicans there.
I know a bit of French, and I'm taking German in college
3 years of spanish didn't do shit for me.
I still only know english.

I learned more Spanish in three months of work then I did in two years of school. If you do not apply a language on a daily basis you will not learn it effectively.

I'm the same way. A while ago my mom asked me to speak some spanish to her... I didn't remember anything. xD But it's fine, got my credits and I'm good.

Like socks said, you have to actually speak it to retain anything. I speak in spanish all the time to my parents because it's hilarious. Sometimes I talk to these little mexican children in my backyard, too. I wish I knew more spanish people though. :( I find it really fun to listen to people on the bus, on the street, in a restaurant, etc. speaking in spanish.
That is true Sam. My Spanish 2 teacher actually did make us speak it and I learned a lot in his class, however my Spanish 3 teacher was horrible and just handed out worksheets, so I lost all retained Spanish knowledge. :x
That and there is only one Mexican guy in my town but he doesn't even speak Spanish.
Pashto and some Dari.

High school foreign language classes really don't teach you shit. You can claim to know another language, but unless you can do more than ask for a slice of pizza, you don't know shit.
i only speak english and the only other languages i see being essential later in life are arabic and french
Spanish.
