Wow, are you sure you are Deaf knowing all this languages and having to go through speech training to learn how to make yourself talk with many languages. That is incredible and never heard of like that before. Whew! Usually many Deaf people have to rely on only one language to be able to talk in speech. But yours is different and very unusual for a Deaf person. Far out! :cool2:
 
English, SEE, some spanish (spoken and written) and very lil ASL. I studied Latin in 7th and 8th grade but don't remember much of it anymore. Should have been Spanish instead. Oh well.
