im not even that good at english

i could stumble my way through mexico with a few hours of brushing up on spanish. i could politely ask my way to the airport in japanese and that's about it.

none f**k

My German is only decent, but my accent is pretty spot-on. I could blend in as a slow-witted Kraut if I wanted to.

I know some Spanish, as well as Spanglish, some words in German and Latin.

I could probably survive as a tourist in french as long as people spoke slowly; It's trying to understand what people are talking about when they're yabbering away in french at full speed which is the difficult part.

I was conversational in French back in the day, but I think its mostly atrophied at this point. I could probably find my way to hotels and airports in Spanish if I absolutely had to...

Bit of Spanish and French. Can ask for directions, order in restaurants, read headlines, etc. Conversation is a bit of a stretch though. As Homer says, the tricky part is understanding the natives.
