[[Carl Vos '09]] mom is french, and I know a lot, but havn't spoken it in a while. I can get by alright.
 
[[Jack Nelson '07]] took it for 9 years before getting bored. Now speaks French like a Russian or Norwegian immigrant who speaks no French at all.
===German===
[[Laurie Brink]] was the "official unofficial" translator and pronunciation expert for the NYC area premiere of the Lord of the Rings Symphony, and, as such, can say a variety of things in Quenya, Sindarin, Adûnaic, Rohirric, Khuzdul, and the Black Speech. It also helps that she has, in a certain sense, been speaking Quenya since the day she learned her own name.
 
===Norwegian===
 
[[Jack Nelson '07]] speaks relatively fluently, especially when inebriated on some good ol' Mack Øl, due to an exchange year there before Williams. Continues to delight in the fact that Norwegian includes the words fart, snart, fred and slut which means things entirely different.
===Oppish===
[[Joe Hutchinson '06]] pretends to have a Russian grandma back in the old country
 
[[Jack Nelson '07]] lived in Siberia for a semester. He thinks. He has largely blocked it from his memory. Has somehow retained the ability to sneer in Russian, but not much else, which, as a major, may prove problematic.
===Spanish===
