You reminded me of a [sad] joke:
What do you call someone who speaks two languages? Bilingual
What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual
What do you call someone who speaks one language? American
We really should be pushing for additional languages taught in school. 2 years of foriegn language in high school really isn't enough. Heck, I took 4 years of Hebrew - forgot most of it. 2 years of Spanish in high school - forgot most of it. 2 years of ASL in college - forgot most of it (though I can get by if I need it).
But that's really another topic.
