Eto kak "Jack of all trades, master of none"? :), I'll be honest, I took Spanish from 6th grade all the way thru 12 grade and got a 97% on the state regents and today I hardly retained any of it.

I'd say I'm very fluent in both Russian and English, the rest I wont brag about even though I know some.

They say that in order for you to speak a certain laguage, you have to be constantly embodied in it. In other words, the environment must provide constant reinforcement.

wow, kakie talanti.

I am only fluent in Russian and English (i feel like a regular :( )

But I’m hoping that this is not where i stop. I'm planning to learn Hebrew in this lifetime and some other language.



I actually took Uzbek back in Uzbekistan. I knew enough for school purposes, could read, write, and speak even. At this moment I can only count to 10. ehehe Bir, Ikki, ych....

Same goes for Hebrew, I took it for two years in HS, was able to read, write, and understand somewhat. Unfortunately, then I was not interested in it. :( But right now I know very few words. Zdraste i do svidania :D hehehe.




Also, i took Greek and Latin roots of English course in undergrad. So i was able to read and understand Spanish, French, Italian, Greek, and Latin. I was actually able to write simple sentences in Greek and Latin, but when i forgot these two *main* alphabets, and roots, all the other languages lost their meaning to me, once more. :(

Fun isn't it :). "ti shag, ya shag and so on", hmm such fun & repetitive motion sounds like something completely unrelated to checkers, to me atleast :D. Well it cant be checkers cause we have 3 players (shoshy included). Hell of 3some I'd say.
