I spent about seven years studying French, but I don't have enough verbal practice or vocabulary to consider myself fluent. I know a bit of Spanish from reading signs on the subway and working with people who don't speak English. I'm generally pretty good at deciphering written matter in either of the two languages, and I try to eavesdrop a little on Spanish-speaking people so I can pick up an ear for it. I never seem to run into French speakers.
