Technically, I speak English. I know bits and pieces of several languages, including Spanish, German, Greek, Italian, French, Visual Basic, C++, SQL and Cat (meow).
What about Mandarin or Cantonese? Do you speak any tid-bits of the Chinese tongue?? I've ALWAYS always wanted to learn Mandarin particularly. I've just never made the effort to :( One day. That's what I always tell myself.
C++? Is that still used?
Yes, C++ is still used, it's actually quite handy (IMHO.)
Have you tried Pimsleur's conversational CDs? They're reasonably priced (not to be confused with the full course which can run into the hundreds.)
