But can you write in sign?

Was deaf until I was four but I speak English although sometimes I goof up pronunciations.

I can only speak and read french and have to really concentrated to understand it when spoken to me(I can understand French Canadians way eaiser than French). My writing is attrocious. Since I never studied French it is far from perfect. reason countless nights hanging out on St Laurent St when I was younger.

I can speak conversational thai but I can't read a thing. I have a lot of freinds from Bangkok and Chiang Mai.

I can speak some Chinese(Mandarian) and I can read very little(simplified is easiest). reason my Ex-wife is Chinese but graduated from Duke University.

I can speak some Korean can't read a word. I like some of their movies and once again I know a lot of people from Korea.

I know how to say one or two words like "Hello" "Good Bye" "Jellyfish" in Russian, Mongolian, Greek, Polish, Uki, and Hindi.

I know some basic anglified Hebrew words and can say the alphabet(does that count?).

Languages like Spanish and Italian I can actually understand when I read them(thanks to french english and the 2 years I studied Latin) but it takes some concentration and work and I can be way wrong some times. I actually can understand more Italian when spoken to me than French go figure.
