Title: What...
Post by: Silk on September 01, 2006, 12:56:36 PM
Languages do you know or want to learn? I obviously know english, and I still remember a little Latin. I would like to study more latin, and learn Russian, Japanese, and a couple of ancient languages like Sanskrit.

At the moment only English- I've forgotten most of the German I leant in school.   I am going to start learning French once the kids go back to school.
