Native Spanish and fluent English. My English is a bit better than my Spanish but I've been speaking Spanish a lot more lately and my grammar is excellent on both languages.

I'm also learning français and português, but I'm focusing more on Portuguese at the moment. I can pretty much read and pronounce %70 of the Portuguese language, but I have yet to learn how to speak it (português brasileiro).

If you guys are interested in learning new languages, go to livemocha.com that's where I'm learning French and Portuguese. I've actually made new friends in Rio de Janeiro, Uberlândia, São Paulo, and Brasilía. You'll learn from the courses you take, but you learn even more because you get to talk to native speakers of the language you're learning. It's totally free.

I only know English and Spanish. I am very fluent in both languages. In fact, I speak and write better Spanish than most of the adults that come from Mexico. When I refer to a parking spot in Spanish I actually know that its "estacionamiento" and not "Parkiadero" lol I love it when I correct people in Spanish; just makes me look more educated then them haha

2 years of Japanese in college, wish I took Russian instead.
Are you from Brazil?

Claudio Torres sounds like a Spanish name to me. Then again Portuguese and Spanish names are often too similar.

English and Portuguese. My English is better though, but that's because my reading and writing in Portuguese is frozen at a 2nd grade level.

I'm not gonna lie......i'm from the lost city of Atlantis. Only a few of us are alive today and we pass on the secret and culture from generation to generation. We were once a sacred tribe and a lot of people think we're a myth. I speak Atlantisimis.
