How many languages do you have a working knowledge of (not expert fluency)?  And what are they?
 
 Just English and French for me.  (Chinese?  heh.  I can cuss and order food in an accent that's all wrong.)

English
some Spanish (Restaraunt Spanish with an expanded vocabulary)
French at a first-year high school level if I really try.

I really love languages but suck at sticking to 'em long enough to really learn. I have CD/books on Hindi and Mandarin that I'm gonna tackle one of these days I'm sure.
 
...religion has made some contributions to civilization. It helped in the early days to fix the calendar, and it caused Egyptian priests to chronicle ecplipses with such care that in time they were able to predict them. These two services I am prepared to acknowledge, but I do not know of any others

I'm also fluent in Golf and Euchre.  This is where I mastered hyphenated cussing.
