Ich spreche Deutsche und Französisch, aber ich kann nicht um eine Taco in Spanisch.

When I went to college, during the dark ages, two foreign languages were required. I recall Herr Wiesse telling us the the correct umlaut pronunciation required that one purse his or her lips as if to kiss one's sister. I always thought that was a little creepy.

moi, je parle français aussi! mais all i remember of german is wie schade, wo ist Phillipshalle?, and ich sprechen keine deutche :/

it's too bad that more foreign language comprehension isn't required in the U.S.
