missy says she's bilingual. One of the languages is obviously English.
What's the other?

Hallo pne!

Normalerweise antworte ich die $2 Fragen nicht, weil sie oftmals
kompliziert sind, und brauche weit mehr Arbeit, als der Preis wert
ist.  Sie haben aber so nett gefragt!

So, jetzt sehen Sie, daß ich Deutsch spreche.  Ich spreche und lese
fließend, schreibe aber leider nicht mehr so fließend - nach Uni bin
ich ein bißchen aus Übungen herausgefallen.

Zusätzlich, lese ich Französich, Holländisch und ein bißchen
Italienisch, und spreche etwa gemangelte Französich - Je parle
français comme une vache espagnole!

...and for my non-German speaking friends:

I don't normally answer $2 questions because they are often
complicated and require far more work than the price is worth.  But
you've asked so nicely!

So, now you can see that I speak German.  I speak and read fluently,
but sadly don't write as fluently anymore - after University, I've
fallen a little out of practice.

Additionally, I read French, Dutch and a little Italian, and speak
somewhat magled French - I speak French like a Spanish cow!

(I hope I didn't commit too many terrible grammatical mistakes!  I
haven't had to write regularly "auf Deutsch" in more than ten years!)

Tschüß!!

Hi there!

I really don't know!  This didn't fall into the category of "requires
lots of research and lots of time".

Don't trouble yourself about it.  I think it was just fine as it was. 
Thank you for asking!  The curiosity about boring old me is
flattering, if a bit surprising.

Thank you for the kind, polite, and informative answer!

It's German.

A nifty resource if you're planning to study a language at home is the
BBC's "Muzzy" series.  I use this series, in addition to my own
fluency, to teach my children German.  It's charming and quirky, and
attention grabbing (and available in Spanish, French, German and
Italian):
