I can speak spanish. Not really fluently, but I'd be able to get my message across.
If you're going to learn a language, try using Rosetta Stone. Not sure how much it cost, school buys it for me, but you can surely pirate it. But anyways, Rosetta Stone is easy and works a lot. However, that being said, it doesn't teach you any thing like english to the language you're learning, you have to pick that up on your own.
