So do Classics majors.

===Japanese===
[[Amanda R. Van Rhyn '06 | Amanda Van Rhyn]] now knows how to say "my husband got drunk and hit me."
[[Diana Davis '07]] frequently mutters small phrases in Japanese. People think she is mumbling, becuase they don't understand Japanese. In addition to randomly speaking in Japanese, she also randomly speaks English with an excellent Japanese accent.
[[Leah Weintraub '06]] spent a semester in Japan. Ergo, she probably speaks Japanese.
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=08cvw Charlotte White] rocks at Japanese, and is easily distracted by pretty things from Japan. She also says "WTF Japan" rather often. As should we all.

===Spanish===
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06dr David Rodriguez] (speaks Dominican Spanish--impossible to comprehend for most other spanish speakers because it sounds more like really fast Italian than anything else)
