You don't have to be good at it. Just say what you know.
===Farsi/Dari===
Samim Abedi '10 - Cannot read or write but can speak the language fluently.
Faisal Khan '11 - Can't speak but can do a really good impression of Samim, which is like the same thing. Man gorosne hastam!!Also incredibly inadequate in my native tongue, Urdu, which I choose not to speak because of constant ridicule by the Williams South Asian community and 7-Eleven owners around the Northeast.
===Dutch===
[[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.
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=09bdk Brian Kim '09] owes much of his sanity to the fact that dead French men write better books than most people.
[[Emilie Voight '09]] knows that you'll get mocked if you say "neanmoins" in casual conversation.
 
[[Meredith Sopher]] '14 finds French excellent for yelling.
 
[[Son Le]] '14 whistles/hums French melodies all the time because he can't remember any lyrics (well, except Aux Champs Elysées)
===German===
[[Carl Vos '09]] is taking German and will be spending the summer of 2006 in Munich and Berlin.
 
[[Dae Selcer]] '10 is a German major and spends her entire life reading dusty German thingymabobbers.
===Greek===

[[Melanie Idler '14]]
===Hindi===
As of now, [http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=09bjd Brian Delmolino '09] can say the following: "I am American. I cannot speak Korean. Where is the bathroom?"
 
[[Meredith Sopher]] '14 can read and write, and speaks a little. She knows most of Big Bang's "Lies" by heart and will take Korean during the 2011-2012 school year.
===Latin===
===Norwegian===
[[Jack Nelson '07]] speaks relatively fluently, especially when inebriated on some good ol' Mack Øl�l, 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===
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=09bdk Brian Kim '09] used to beg his Russian teacher for borscht in the middle of the night. It was delicious, by the way.
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=09nyi Nina Ivanova '09] рулез?????!
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=08slh Son '08] knows one phrase: "ну Заяц погоди?? ???? ??????!"
[[Andrew Triska '10]] makes baby Jesus cry with his Russian obscenities.
Sebastion Shterental '08
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=08slh Son '08] what does "phuc" mean? - It's pronounced different than what you think; but it means "happiness" (kinda make sense ;-))
 
[[Son Le]] '14 Purely Vietnamese in mind and body, yet he appreciates how his sino-romanized mother language helps him enjoy both romance languages and Eastern Asian languages.
===Yiddish===
Tosin Adeyanju
