I am English. I learned French and Latin at school. I taught myself Ancient Greek and Anglo-Saxon since. 2 or so times since I have had to talk in Latin to foreigners. I can get by in Dutch. I can struggle with written German and Spanish. I learned oddments of Russian (for a week visit there) and Egyptian Arabic (for scuba diving in the Red Sea, e.g. how to say "this cylinder is empty"). I have had goes at learning Sanskrit. I can more or less read the Devanagari and Gujarati alphabets.
