I lived in Mexico off-and-on about the time I was in college and most of my subcontractors now prefer their native language at work. I would say I'm close to fluent, but not with the proper formality commensurate with what would be expected of me in Spain.

But languages keep my mind alive so I'm beyond willing to practice.

And olive oil you say? *swoon*
