Hi Luke.. Smile Yeah I learned them in school. Most of them aren't of any use. Only when it comes to deciphering species and other things. Most of them are a mix of Latin and Greek. Smile Not Latin like many say. Wink

By the way, Russian is quite high on my list, also Spanish.. Cool

Luke I studies French for 7 years and I was hopeless at it! But now I wish I had tried harder because here in Canada it's really useful. I studied Spanish for 3 years and used to be able to have conversations and stuff, but as I haven't really used it, I'm slowly forgeting most of it. Other than that I speak English and Persian. Persian is my first language, but believe it or not I'm more fluent in English than Persian Confused

there's a lady at my bird club who has a jardine's and a female ekkie, and she was speaking english to me then later she was speaking french to her ekkie. She spoke it very well. She was telling the ekkie "oh you're a pretty bird" and there's a french speaking parrot at a shelter too, but he's picking up english very well

You know, there really is something to that Dora the Explorer Haley! My 5 yr old grand daughter has picked up quite a few words from watching it & they even play Dora games in her kindergarden class.

I'm embarrassed to say I ONLY speak English Embarassed .
