Who here speaks different languages (besides English, of course)? I'm just curious.

I can understand and read some Spanish. My grammar's terrible, though.

I speak German fluently and English kinda..uhm...not so fluently! I can also write in German and English.

I speak French (also write it),Italian(write it aswell),Spanish,Polish,Swiss(write it too),Dutch,Suaheli(learned a bit when I was in Kenya) and Russian a LITTLE bit.

hhhm...that's all.

Um, other than English, I speak some French, I've had 4 years of it in school. I know a couple words of Dutch from when I lived there, and I can say a few sentences in Russian (thanks to t.A.T.u. and one of my friends ).

I speak some Spanish (had two years of it in high school) English is of course my first language. I speak a few words of german and (don't laugh) can speak a few lines of elvish.

Is Great Lakes American considered English?
i sures dos hopes so. Took 3 yrs of Spanish
but don't recall mucho of it.

Elvish, Seraphin? i can speak some of that-
"Th'nk ya v'ry much, ah am the King"
Oh you mean elves language, not Presley's.
sorry...

English and some German.

But my true first language is Gibberish

Ok Ully, just come out and say it, don't beat around the bush.

Apart from English, doesn't count for everyone cause English isn't everyone's first language here..*S*

he can't help it.. his ass is too smart

Heh..., I keep forgetting that I'm only supposed to sit on it.

no worries U.. i prefer a smart ass to a dumb ass

I can understand a little Spanish - provided they don't speak too fast.

Aside from that, I speak two forms of English. English and BAD English.

Ha ha OK, Ulrich, what I ACTUALLY wanted to ask everyone was: what country are you from, and what languages do you speak? I know that English is a second language for a lot of people here, but it's hard for me to tell who doesn't know English as a first language because everyone here speaks it so well.

So, from what I know about you, I will ask--do you speak German?

I only really claim english as language. But can understand Spanish very well, although I seem to have difficulty speaking it. A bit of French and Dine also. That is about it.

Dine?... The only language I can think of that sounds a bit like that is Danish...*confused again*

dine is a navajo language.. but i dunno if that's what cen meant

...and here i thought Dine was the gourmet dining language. You know, "Pass the taters", "Pass the
corn", "Pass the cheese", "More eggnog please",
"More fried rice please", etc etc.

Yep Emessis, Tam has it right on top. (Tam is as sharp as a tack!)
But XC has the funnest part of it all! Yummie foodstuffs.

Cheers all. Best holiday wishes to you all.

Ahh, alright. Glad that's all cleared up. ^_^

As most of you know, I am german - so there is at least one advantage. Most peeps say that german is difficult to learn...I am glad I don't have to go through THAT at least

Anyways...apart from that I speak english, I can order a coffee in a french bistro (although the peeps start looking at me in a weird way when I do ) and I can understand a little spanish (but just the plain basics).

I speak Chinese fluently, aside from English, and can speak a bit of Japanese.

My native language is Dutch. I also speak English, German, some Italian and Spanish and a little bit of Latin. I hate French

I speak English and French.

And I guess I know simple Japanese, and can understand Spanish when i read it.

I'm from Holland. So I speak Dutch. Also English and some German.

Take care
