I can speak/write only English.

I can somewhat read/understand orally Spanish, Italian, and French because of a highschool + college background in Latin (goodness -- I'm starting to channel Miss Farrell, my highschool Latin teacher...!) :lol:

I understand Spanish, Apache and English but can only speak Apache and English, I REALLY need to take Spanish, with Az being the #1 state for Illegial Immigrants and all!

I can speak English and can speak some words in Sapanish. Not enough to understand it but enough to get me in trouble with a few people.

The ones I know will only be used in a situation where I would be swearing at something or someone. No translation needed.

Only english fluently. I took spanish in the 9th grade, but it wasn't one of my better subjects (my final grade was C-); most of what I learned has long since been forgotten. :(
