      Yes,but not as well as I would like. I can have conversations in Spanish and French. I can get by in German, and I can make myself understood in Italian and Greek.

      Because I grew up in a French family in Austria, my native languages are French and German. I took Latin and Spanish in school (clearly, I wasn’t planning on becoming a scientist at that point!) I also speak a bit of Czech an Japanese, since I’ve lived in both countries.

      Hola! I’m bilingual: Spanish and English (because I grew up in Puerto Rico and the mainland USA). I also speak a little Swedish, since I lived in a rural town in Sweden for 2 years. Tack!

      I can just about remember how to speak French and German from school. I also learnt a bit of Bengali (one of the Indian languages) from my parents.

      I did a year of Japanese and a month of Mandarin Chinese but they were very complicated.

      But I don’t use any of them much now so I’m very rusty.
