For all you people that studied a foreign language at school, how often do you put the language into practice now ?

I seldom use it, but I'm glad I studied it. I know that learning any foreign language as a child, while the brain is still so adaptable and able to learn and integrate new things, can help when learning a foreign language later in life.

I try to speak Spanish with Jason fairly frequently, and it comes up about once a week out & about.

More and more often.

I never actually use my foreign language studies to communicate, but I do try to read signs in Spanish just for fun, and studying Latin has improved my vocabulary and given me insights into the structure of English word families.

Sometimes, a friend might ask me to translate a phrase from Latin, but that is about it.

I forgot it when I tried to learn a third language.

Spanish - I'm terrible at it, but, I use it every day at work, buying books, speaking to homesick au pairs, helping kids with homework. Quien lo pensaria? (who'd a thunk it)

Very Seldom.. If someone says to me, "How would I say this in German?".. then I try to remember...

i studied spanish for about 5yrs... and i don't use it at all, it is a shame that i didn't keep up with it.

i had two years of spanish and never use it...unless i mocking a taco bell commercial....

I speak two languages but neither is foreign!

Spanish I use occasionally, but not much, really. German, very rarely, though it's sometimes handy.

I can still read French, but can't speak it usefully anymore.

i am studying Spanish right now, in hopes of using it later in life!

I live in South Africa, so I studied Afrikaans. I use it every single day. Is dit nie lekker nie?

it was spanish and i now live with a mexican.

I use it sometimes. To piss people off cuz they don't know what I'm saying. And, I'm still studying.

I have studied several languages and use little bits of them frequently (mostly just for fun), but very rarely speak more than a sentence or two of any of them.

can't speak English, let alone another language !!!!
