What languages can us CCers speak?

[AndyRM]

So we've got all the major Western European languages covered except Dutch (but I know there are some crazy Dutchies who post on CC) but a distinct paucity of Eastern European....no Polish, Russian

Tongan was a bit of a curve ball

My pal Hayley is learning Dutch. Does that count?

Bumpkin.

I've got rusty classical Greek, and it's come back quickly each time I've tried. I'm also another one with decent French and Latin. Mrs W may claim some familiarity still with Bahasa Indonesia, and used to have some Russian. I suspect @User21629 may have more than a passing knowledge of some of the Slavic languages.

Schoolboy French, fading fast. However, I do know what eyelashes are in Dutch.

You know the words for 'willy', 'bum' and 'poo'?

I'm fluent in talking poo.

 

[Crackle]

I also speak the universal language of luurrrvvvv.

That took a whole hour to come out: standards are slipping.

 

[furball]

Scottish gaelic

Ahem, the thread title should be "we CCers".

Wee CCers: small Scottish ones.

 

[Dayvo]

I'm fluent.

Affluent, non?

 

[pplpilot]

According to mrs pplpilot I (don't half) talk siht...

I worked a lot out in Shanghai and as a result learned Mandarin Chinese. But only to speak, not read or write. It's quite amusing to strike up a conversation in any Chinese restaurant or takeaway

 

[slowmotion]

Affluent, non?

More effluent than affluent.

I was trying to be a Man Of The People and speak like the bloke on the Clapham omnibus....innit
