I used to study Spanish, because my family is South American, but I'm ashamed to say I haven't practiced it in a long time. It's funny though, even though I've lost a lot of vocabulary, now that I'm older, I'm now magically able to understand people much better than I ever used to. I also picked up a few German phrases in HS which may or may not actually be correct because I learned them from my best friend, who was just learning the language.
I've become interested in Japanese in spite of myself, because its syntax is so different from English or Latin-based languages.
