What LANGUAGES can you speak?

[Parson Henry]

*Sigh* it was a jest Pez honestly as you know i haven't mastered the English language yet so speak another language?!

I don't think so

wahey..the fish catches the fisherman..


I thought you were 'parri passu' quite good..'caveat emptor' and all that 'res judicata' stuff'!!

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

English, French and German.

I'm obviously fluent in English, my French and German are a little rusty purely due to lack of practice, but I've always had a knack for picking up foreign languages, so I suspect I would just need a little practice to get back to near-fluency.

Same as

English and Double Dutch

 

[Buzzer]

Can get by in Afrikaans.

 

[Bad Ash]

I can get by with my English. I did Frech for 6 years and German and Latin for 2 years at school, but wouldn't say I could speak them. Languages are just not my forte, I'm more of a numbers man. Computing languages - those I can usually pick up pretty easily.

 

[Cian]

English fluently, Irish Gaelic well, German, French and Slovak badly.

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Swahili

 

[Parson Henry]

Dennishili

 

[Trufflehound]

Austinhili

 

[pasty]

English, fluent
Dutch, fair standard conversational
French, passable (passed my O-level 20 something years ago)

Also fluent in drunkenese and bollox.

Edit - Does Dutch qualify me to say Flemish as well?

Austinhili

[cardboard]

Australian and English

 

[Fran Hagarty]

Thinking of learning Dutch, so I can pay homage to FDM in his native tongue

I did French, German and Italian at school years ago and have just started learning Dutch, but not for the reason above!

 

[pasty]

Whats with all the Dutch speakers / learners? Not normally a popular language to learn? I learnt it as my ex-wife was Dutch and her parents didn't speak English.

Only if you shpeak it wish a very funny akshent.

I find living here for 15 years has helped a bit in my case.

 

[Gilliver's Travels]

O-Levels in French, German and Latin. Can get by in France. A few well parroted phrases in Italian. Astonishing command of bar and menu Greek; occasional, amusing phrases in Bulgarian.

Arabic sadly confined to Allah-u-Akhbar, which, uttered immediately on boarding buses, will normally guarantee you a seat and plenty of room.

This thread is somehow depressing, because I suspect older posters may well have more language skills than younger ones. Thanks to 'New' Labour's philistine focus on education for the workplace.
