But to most people it probably makes you look/sound sophisticated, since they can't understand either

On a side note, I think the record for most languages known by one person is around 40 . . . (hint hint)

jealous of my language skills, ha! my language skills are small in comparison to someone like oisín...

anyway, here is the newest list, chronologically:
1. English
2. Spanish
3. Latin
4. Irish Gaelic
5. French
6. German
7. Greek
8. Czech

the latter 5, i know an intermediate to small, respectively, amount. on french and german, just enough to be able to pronounce words. but at 16 years of age, i have time enough to develop them all and pick up a few (ha, i've picked up 2 in the last 2 days) more...

Congra. to learn czech!

I wish I could be in French like i am in Irish *osna*
