I always thought pigs oinked...turns out they speak Latin 

Live and learn!

[Monrogue]

English obviously, but I did take 3 years of French in high school and had decent skill with it.  Our French club even went to Quebec and we had to only speak French for anything we did there.  However, now I'd be useless with it as I haven't once used it since then.  It really is a case of if you don't use it, you lose it

As a latin, I am really puzzled

Just some Americans confirming our prejudices about their language skills. 

What do you call a person who knows three languages? Trilingual. What do you call a person who knows two languages? Bilingual. What do you call a person who knows a single language? American. 

And now it is time run away...

Close but not completely right,

There really suppose to have Y's at the end but I never got that far into it, JR

Judging from my experience, the British tend to disagree.

Fluent in both Spanish & English. Quite good in Italian, but not fully fluent.

Any chance that's Mexican Spanish? I'm not sure how far Mexican Spanish is from the Spanish in Spain, but I understand there are some differences.

If so... would you care to help me with a small project?

[sardauker]

LOL

No, you're huge, bright and multi-coloured. 214 languages in the US alone, according to http://www.ethnologue.com/country/US (also take a look at http://www.ethnologue.com/country/US/languages ) (with an additional 206 immigrant languages when looking at http://www.ethnologue.com/statistics/country ), so I don't get your point.     

Edit: Only include living languages in the language total.

Mostly vocabulary and pronunciation. Mexican Spanish (and a lot of the South American Spanish) uses a lot of English based words, whereas in Spain they have different words. I find most South American speakers speak slower compared to a lot of Spain Spanish speakers. Some examples:

"Carro" (Mexican Spanish) = Car
"Coche" (Spain) = Car
and in Spain "Carro" means cart like a shopping cart.

The biggest difference you'll find is how it sounds but it usually will read and write the same.

I primarily speak The Spanish dialect Castellano which is native to South America for example Argentina and Uruguay.
