[edit] Languages

Since it's been a long time since I used any of my foreign languages to do much more than order a couple of beers, I understand and read much better than I talk or write. With a dictionary and plenty of time I can understand pretty much anything in any Romance or Slavic language, but I'm not about to start writing Czech articles just yet.
