I'm curious about my flist's language skills. Please answer the following poll which asks you to indicate languages in three categories. The first I've defined as "fluent", meaning that you could do essentially anything in that language that you could do in your mother tongue. Second up is "reasonably competent" implying the ability to carry a conversation or read a text. Finally, "smattering"; can order a meal or read a tombstone kind of thing.

My Italian is head and shoulders about my French and Latin - but I wouldn't call it fluent. I've studied Arabic and Japanese, but that doesn't mean I remember enough of the characters any more to be able to read a tombstone - although I still retain a smattering of vocabulary.
