i took a french class in high school and did pretty good, but i’m forgetting all but the amusing things.
i won’t count the fact that i can swear in several languages.
if i do manage to traveling, i couldn’t imagine that would be a good way to make the best impression. =\

i’ve found this site (http://www.mangolanguages.com/ ), and it seems like it might be useful.
i do want to take lessons at some point, but for now, this might at least help me get a start at things and figure out which languages i’d like to pursue formally later on.
