Y'ever notice how after a while they changed the clay figures on the poster to better reflect the characters? I never knew the dude dressed all in green was supposed to be Leaf.

I speak
1. English
2. French
3. Arabic
4. I've been studying Spanish in school since I was in pre-school so I'm pretty good with that as well

I'd love to be fluent in
German

and more. Yup.

P.S. Can I just mention that there is something so hot about the Hebrew language? My boyfriend speaks Hebrew and I love going to his house because they're all talking to each other in random Hebrew. GAH IT'S SO COOL.

Anna,

A language that was invented by someone coughing up a hair ball is sexy?

I speak English (obviously) and I know enough Spanish to survive in a Spanish speaking country. I also know some basic translations in French (ballet is good for that kind of stuff)

I would like to learn:
more French
and Italian

The six languages that Marcy speaks are:

Je peux parler six langues - French
Cada idioma es simple - Spanish
Jerro oh yo no reshipe no yesashesades - Japanese
Ja gavaru shetz yatzukim - Russian
V'ani yodat shalom - Hebrew
Im noch mindesterns sieben mehr - German


So in reality, she speaks 7. Those 6 and English.
What a liar.

she's probably just very humble or ashamed to be an overachiever :P so she tries her best to be mediocre :)

"I Speak Seven Languages" just doesn't have the same ring to it, you know? And Anna, sorry, I really cannot find anything sexy about Hebrew.

P.S. pre-Alzheimer's, my uncle spoke 13 languages (that's one for every time I've seen Spelling Bee!).
