How many languages... (125)

English - First language, fluent. I'm currently trying to expand the vocabulary I commonly use.

Japanese - Currently in second year, second quarter. I can understand almost all of what my teacher says in class; even though I can't always recognize a word, I'll be able to guess at it through the context. I can recognize probably 90 - 100 (perhaps more) kanji, so my reading is getting a lot better.

French - Two years in high school. I thought I'd forgotten most of it, but when I picked up a book I'd read back then, I still could understand most of it. I don't think I could formulate a sentence though; I'd probably end up with French grammar but Japanese vocab. I was one of the best students in the class, because I would have these incredibly silly conversations with my teacher. (I loved to use the word "lecher" - "to lick" at every possible opportunity. Oh, and I just tried to to make a sentence in French about licking a cat - came up with "neko ga leche desu ka?" Haha.)

I expect I'll take up French again at some point, as I'm hoping to go into a field of work that involves language.
