English, and the teeniest, tiniest bit of Spanish.

My Spanish is in a southern accent, and doesn't even reach the fluency of a damn toddler.

I have more latin under my belt from medical terminology, which I guess is sort of a language of its own. I've been out of the field for over a decade, and I still do well with it casually reading publications that interest me. But I don't really have enough of the latin to equate to being able to speak latin, or even read it. Same with the greek that's folded into medicalese.

So just english in any real sense, though I can kinda read Spanish well enough I guess, as long as I have access to a dictionary lol.
