It depends. Are you into tranny stuff?

[An Officer]

^ Wow. That is so impressive.

I speak 2 languages fluently and 2 in a very broken fashion.

 

[Michael Chris]

No habla espanol. Je ne parle pas francais.

I understand the first sentence.

I understand it, too, but I'm not sure who he is referring to. "He/She/It doesn't speak Spanish."

Wow my Spanish is rusty, I didn't even notice.

 

[Count Zero]

Had three years of German in school, but never really learned it. I can however understand some of it, and make some very grammatically wrong sentences

Ah, you'll fit right in with the natives.

Here's my list:

German (my mother tongue)
English (fluent)
French (5 years in school, forgot a lot, was never really good at speaking it unless I was drunk)
Latin (5 years in school, but it's not a spoken language)
Italian (enough to be able to read scientific articles in my field (archeology))
Russian (half a year in school, then the teacher got sick )


Not very impressive, but most people one meets abroad usually speak english with you, anyway.

 

[DiSiLLUSiON]

2. Flemish (dutch) - very rusty, though

Flemish isn't Dutch, it's Belgian. But I'm just saying that because I'm Dutch.

Thank you But im quite shy when speaking foreign languages, so I come off as knowing far less than I do. English I am ok with speaking whenever, but that is because i speak it daily lol

 

[StolenThunder]

English (native).
German (not too bad - six years in school and probably something I'll return to for a year or two with the aim of becoming fluent).
French (enough to get me what I want and need in France - five years in school).

Oh, and I've had to learn Scottish (Weegie) too!

 

[Q2UnME]

American English and Drunkle....

Q2

 

[AdAstra]

2. Flemish (dutch) - very rusty, though

Flemish isn't Dutch, it's Belgian. But I'm just saying that because I'm Dutch.

Believe me, we're not very proud either when it comes to being told that we speak Dutch.

 

[Pingfah]

English, French and Brummie. Also I can read Latin, and could probably speak it if required, but speaking it is not in any way part of the learning process typically.

 

[sidious618]

I only speak Klingon in person.

 

[Count Zero]

English, French and Brummie.

What's Brummie?

 

[Roshi]

Isn't it the Birmingham regional accent?

 

[Capn Flukie]

English, and learning Spanish.

Oh, and Ubbi Dubbi.

 

[Pingfah]

Isn't it the Birmingham regional accent?

Correct, I was just joking, people often refer to it as being another language as it is so horrible sounding

Shit, which word I screw up?

 

[Capn Flukie]

I think it was supposed to be desnuda.
