In case that is anyone's resolution, I thought you might like to know the top ten most spoken languages in the world.  

If you already know another language, where does yours rank on the list?

Hablo un poco de espanol.

Darn, French, Spanish and English are largely based on Latin.  What's with that?  English, Espanol, Francais: Francais, a very beautiful language, a very unsettled country right now.

Interesting info, thanks.  When I was in high school, we had a choice between French or Spanish.  I chose French but wish I’d chosen Spanish.  It would have been much more useful but at the time Spanish wasn’t as prevalent as it is now.  I took a Korean Language course a few years ago.  That didn’t go well but I still remember one of the greetings - - Ahn Young Ha Saeyo.

I studied Latin.  It did help with the botanical names of plants, as I am a horticulturist.

I'm teaching my German Shepherd commands in Spanish.  I figure he's smart enough to be bi-lingual (I don't speak it, but DH is fairly fluent and I do know some basic Spanish words).

@lolakimono ~ I speak Polish, and it ranks #26 on the language chart.

I took .French in high school and Spanish in college, sadly I only remember enough for crosswords and the occasional phrase in a book. I'm not proud of this.

I don't see Italian curse words which were some of my first words at birth thanks to my grandparents.

I took years of French and Spanish and medaled in both. Along with English, they were my best classes.

My first language is English, my second language is French (fluent).

The only new language I would attempt is Sign Language.
I'd have more opportunity to use it.
