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! [Razz] 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 [Big Grin] ).

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.

*sigh*... there goes the only accomplishment I had occasional fits of pride about. [Frown]

Nope, apart from English I don't know any other foreign language.

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*

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. [Wink]

Ha ha [Roll Eyes] 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. [Razz]

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. [Smile]
24 December 2002, 07:11 PM
Emessis
Dine?... The only language I can think of that sounds a bit like that is Danish...*confused again*
24 December 2002, 07:30 PM
beauTifully tragic
dine is a navajo language.. but i dunno if that's what cen meant
24 December 2002, 07:36 PM
<xenacrazed>
...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. [Smile] (Tam is as sharp as a tack!) [Smile]

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 [Smile]

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 [Smile] ) and I can understand a little spanish (but just the plain basics).
