I speak English as my native language, and acquired fluent Hebrew during the 25 years in which I lived there. I've got a smattering of Spanish and Russian from high school, and enough German to order in a restaurant, bar, or bordello.

I'm now working at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and if I want, the opportunity is there to formally study Yupik, Inupiaq, or Koyukon.
