According to Millennials you should not spend your time learning anything that is readily available on your phone. Thus, Google translate supersedes everything as far as foreign language learning.

I can get by speaking German. I learned because I lived in Germany as a young lad.

Seems like a pretty big waste of time and brain space, english works as good as the rest.

I got Rosetta Stone for Italian and just started using the app on my phone trying to learn some before going to Italy this spring. Yesterday was my first day, so I don't know shite yet

85% French and 70-75% Arabic.

Learned Arabic living in Egypt. Learned French b/c that was the only class offered to me.

rarely use either unless I go to Egypt so it's very rusty. Side note, you really can win native people over by using just a few words of their language. They see you give a shite to at least try even if it sounds stupid

Define fluently. I traveled to Germany last summer, and I got around pretty well without using a ton of English. I took German at LSU.

Se non impari un cazzo sul Rosetta Stone, l'unica cosa che dovresti imparare prima che parti è queste due parole:

Semmemé (Sheh-meh-meh) o Scemo di merda
Ommemmé (Ommeh-meh-meh) o Uomo di merda

Sono nel dialetto napoletano, dai, con forza.
