I was wondering the same thing. And how many have they taken it upon themselves to learn? I've attempted to learn Russian, Spanish, French, Latin and Italian. I know a little bit of each - but not enough to even be able to write. I have about 25 French books. I have Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter in French. I figured if I could compare the French Translations with the English - it would help me learn. I also used to go into French messageboards and see if i can pick up "non-textbook" French.
