The only language I'm any good at is English, which is a matter of some regret. I sound quite RP, as you know.
I have GCSEs in Latin, French, and Ancient Greek (the last of which was done in 2 years, and I enjoyed greatly); the classics made anatomy a little easier. I have also done odd bits of German (a year at school, then a course at the University language center). I try and pick up at least some of the local language before visiting places. Before we most recently went to Portugal, I did a 6-week teach-yourself course (which I LJd about at the time)., which proved moderately useful.
