English, and English only. I'm too lazy to bother learning a second language.

By the way, Caesar, which is actually a title or rank, is commonly mispronounced.
No, I am not fluent in Latin. I know a little from reading a book a while ago.
The C in Caesar is said as a K would be, so it is not said as if it were an s, as is the case for the letter c in most, or all, of Latin. The ae is a dipthong which sounds like the word eye does. But the two are part of the same syllable, so it comes out as K and eye (short i) sounding like the Ky in Kyle, as in Kyle Petty. The result? Ky-sar and not See-sur is more accurate in classical Latin.
Consult more knowledgeable persons to test My accuracy. I might be wrong.

In'tristing. That would explain the German spelling (Kaiser).

but I took Spanish 1 last year, and some how got stuck with German 1 and Latin 1 this semester... Think I'm gonna drop Latin next year, just because I wouldn't use it too much... It would be cool though to see Latin being used today.
There was some language that was suppose to be the 'universal' language, and I'm not talking about mathematics! I think it started with an 'e'. Anyway, it would be cool to see some websites in Latin, so just about any nation could understand it, but too bad Latin's a dead language and there aren't any new words like Car, you'd have to use 'horseless carrage'. I know they don't have any latin in it, but Hercules in New York is a great movie, everyone watch it on AMC some time or rent it! And I don't care if Hercules was a greek myth!

I speak English fluently (as if you couldn't tell by now..), took four years of French and two years of Spanish. I'd like to brush up my skills with both of those languages, as well as learn Russian, Italian and German. I know a little of all three of those, but not enough to do me any good.
