The English language fascinates me. I'm sure other languages would, too, if I knew any.

Sadly, other than a bit of Brit speak symptomatic of a touch of Anglophilia, my non-English language skills consist of shaky pronunciations and vague comprehension of a few basic words and phrases in French and even fewer in Spanish.
