Well, I can read some Spanish, I can understand a little Spanish if someone talks to me really slowly. I could understand the elderly patients when I used to work for a doctor when they talked slowly to me in Spanish describing their pain. However, I cannot speak much Spanish back (just a few words). I know a little German (travel related German only, like wo ist das badezimmer. - which I think means Where is the Bathroom? ... a most important thing to know!

) I have a childs book in German that I got at an antique store and I can read all of it (with help of a translating book at first).
Oh, I too speak "Dog" and "Cat" very fluently.
