57. Spanish (one of my Grandmothers was from Mexico),

French, some German, some Portuguese and Latin is really rusty.
Richardson and I (just for a semester, one of my sisters for a year) went to the Pan American Workshop in Mexico City.
Read newspapers in French and Spanish, can read the German ones with a bit of help from dictionary.
So as to keep unbored in German classes, the German teacher taught me fracture, one student tried to cheat off my test, but couldn't read it. The fracture came in handy when a German friend of mine in France asked me to teach it to her so that she could read her Grandmother's letters.
