Tony Baloni Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 All this talk about languages got me wondering, what other languages do you guys speak? Fluently or even just a little? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 A little Spanish, and some Italian and French. (The Italian and French has just been picked up from years of playing and reading classical music... I wouldn't dare try to communicate with someone in those two.... but I can ask for directions and introduce myself and some other stuff in Spanish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Little Spanish, I tried to learn German and Dutch when I was a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 a friend of mine learned how to say "there's a chicken in my pants and it does a funny dance" in about 9 languages. He uses it to break the ice when he meets someone who doesn't speak much English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Italian, a little Spanish and very little Swahili. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 a little bit of German and some French for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 a little bit of German I speak a bit of Swahili but not as well as UncleJoe... Russian with my mother; French with myself and my friends and my books and my songs. Spanish every day. English... I´m learning Italian right now, I love it... and a friend of mine is sending me emails in Portugese (le lives in Brezil) so I found out I understand Portugese, which I totally ignored.

The Seeker Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 German, some French... and I like to learn other (usually Asian) languages whenever I have some spare time. And I can say "I am a sausage" in Finnish... I've used this on a Finnish girl already. She was impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 She was impressed because you could speak Finnish or because you were a sausage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ombre Vivante Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I speak a bastardised version of "spanish" - the kind from Latin America I can read some Japanese katakana and hiragana, but I have no idea what it all means. I can also understand a word or two from other Romance languages (i.e., Italian, Portuguese, and a bit of French). I wanted to learn Korean because of a girl I fancied, but I never got around to learning any words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 ^ I learned some Korean a while ago... I don't remember anything though because I just wanted to learn the script, not really the language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
