Can you speak any language/s

[Flying_Monkey]

I should point out that Chinese and Japanese are not actually the same language and in terms of the spoken language are nothing like each other (mind you, as Zim has already mentioned, there's not such thing as 'African' - that's like asking if you speak European).

Anyway - pretty fluent French, reasonable Japanese, and some Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese and Bahasa Indonesia. I can also understand Italian some of the time and even read it, but I can't speak it! I also have a vague recollection of the Norwegian I grew up with until I was 6 or so. But every year I forget a bit more of all of them unless I use them...

Conversational French and Modern Greek - enough to get by on a 2 week holiday without resorting to English.

French, German, Dutch, a little Croatian (but then I live in NL and have a small place in Croatia, so I have to really!).

 

[Scoosh]

Francais - "Assez pour m'attrapé des ennuis, mais pas assez pour me les en sortir" = enough to get me into trouble but not enought to get out of it !

Smattering of German, slightly better Spanish;

A bit of Mandarin, Bahasa Malay, Urdu/Hindi - enough to show I care about the languages but couldn't really get around without assistance.

Conversational in Danish and French

Can get by in German, Italian (albeit rusty) and Spanish

Fancy having a go at Dutch one day.

I worked for a couple of month (summer job) in south Germany and learnt German but not practicing it, it'll be poor now.

[arranandy]

Not bad at Spanish. Can get by in French and know some Italian as well. Also know a few Arabic phrases from time working in Abu Dhabi and the KSA a few years back

I like to have a go at some greek:
μπορώ να μιλήσω οποιαδήποτε γλώσσα που θέλω

And sometimes french:

Je peux parler n'importe quelle langue i baisant veux

You may speak any language and kiss old people?

 

[Noodley]

Thinking back I am astounded how many hours I must have spent at school not taking in anything in French, Russian and Latin yet still getting qualifications in them all

Your french is rubbish.
You get an F on the Joe Grading System, sorry.

 

[Speicher]

So there is an f in Joe's grade then?

 

[Dayvo]
