No, you can take french or spanish. I took 2 years of spanish, only because it was easier for me to learn than french was.

Na, i have Metal Wing helping me out.

And technically i'm doing transliteration. I'm writing Russian words with English sounds. for example.

зис из фaн = This is fun. But that's written using English sounds. In actual Russian it would be:
это весело

I only speak one language, English of course, that was the only language we spoke in the Virgin Islands, but I did have a Spanish class so I can speak a tidbit of that as well.
