I lived in Germany for five years when I was young, and I studied French in school, but I'm not fluent in either language. Years ago a friend and I tried to see how many languages we knew at least one word in. Our total was 64, but we cheated a little by counting food names.

Choctaw, a bit of Cherokee, Lakota, Ojibwe, Potawatomi, Munsee, and little bits of Biloxi.
