About fifty years ago, I could actually sort of hack my way through Spanish and French, at a present tense, 'plume de ma tante' level. I studied French for five years and Spanish for two, and I swear I ended up knowing more Spanish than French, despite being taught Spanish by a bearded Australian who looked a lot like Roger Whittaker.
