I have studied five foreign languages (English, Spanish, German, Latin and Ancient Greek) and the only one I know properly is English. I might haltingly understand Spanish, but the rest I know about as much as languages I've never studied at all.

I know a couple of phrases and songs in French. I know a few Arabic words and started learning the alphabet, but never finished. I can count to six and know a few more words in Finnish. I can say librarian in Turkish (kütüphaneyi) and pretty much nothing else. I can say a couple of really obvious phrases in Italian (ti amo, molto bene, and so on), plus food words, of course.

I used to have a list of curse words in various languages as a kid, but my mom threw it out.
