Bengali/Hindi: a few words and phrases, although I'm planning on auditing a year-long intensive Hindi course next year
I know that Abhi can speak/understand at least Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, Gujarati, Kashmiri, Punjabi, Marathi, Maithili, and Assamese (and English, of course). Comes from being an Army brat in India, as well as studying Sanskrit in school for 8 years. Now, if only I can convince him to become a US citizen and join the CIA for the language signing bonus...

Abhi reads and writes Hindi & Bengali, and could probably pick up all the others quickly, since they share similar scripts (except Urdu, which is a modified version of the Arabic script).

Took several years of Spanish, and I got quite good at it...not perfectly fluent though.
Am now taking Japanese and after only six weeks I'm coming along surprisingly well I picked up my nearest manga last night and I can't believe I was able to read several lines of dialogue. Screw Kanji though >_> <_<
