Which languages are you fluent in?

[Josh500 1,620]

Everybody post which languages they're fluent in. And by fluent I mean fluent, no less!

I'm fluent in English, Japanese, and German (in that order). I had French in high school, but I've forgotten pretty much everything save the MOST useful phrases.

[Luke Skywalker 2,383]

3 million forms of communication

LOL, nah, just Spanish, English, Italian and French.

My french is same as yours, though i can still translate most of it.

[Pieter Boelen 1,032]

Dutch and English for me.

[Romão 2,473]

Portuguese, English, Spanish and French.

I can also speak rubbish.

[Quintus 6,495]

Being born and bred in England, I am 100% ignorant to the fact that other languages even exist in this world. Which bothers me at times, but not enough to do anything about it.

[Josh500 1,620]

I can also speak rubbish.

Who doesn't?

[Jill Sandwich 11,165]

English, teeline shorthand.

[Hlao-roo 390]

Love.

[Ollie 1,375]

English.

At one time I dabbled in German and Spanish, but I have similar thoughts like TGE has towards it.

[Elmo Lewis 7]

English and Spanish. Increasingly fluent in French.

[King Mark 3,975]

French and English

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386]

I speak jive!

[Richard P 5,302]

British English, according to Microsoft (although given the amount of US TV I watch that occasionally varies).

I'm fluent in German numbers though

[Marian Schedenig 11,694]

German and English. Had Italian in school, but remember pretty much nothing. I'm constantly surprised how much (fragmented) sense I can often make of Latin texts, though.

Plus Java, C++, PHP and plenty of others in the same area, but I guess that's too nerdy.

[bruckhorn 134]

I only speak two languages: English and Bad English.

[Jacob 1]

Being born and bred in [America], I am 100% ignorant to the fact that other languages even exist in this world. Which bothers me at times, but not enough to do anything about it.

[Josh500 1,620]

Hmmmm, I think everybody here (myself included) speaks at least 2 languages.

English . . . and rubbish!

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386]

And you speak it so well.

[Josh500 1,620]

And you speak it so well.

I knew this would come from you... such a cheap shot. But that's you!

[Henry B 51]

What else would you expect from a homosexual, Josh???

[Josh500 1,620]

What else would you expect from a homosexual, Josh???

For the record, I have nothing against homosexuals . . .

Let's don't offend the homosexuals here by calling Stefan one.

Which languages are you fluent in?

The phrase - "Jack of all trades, master of none" comes to mind.

I've picked up bits and pieces from several languages along the way, but none enough to say I'm 'fluent' in them.

Doing so would take many many years, for most of the Eastern and East Asian languages languages which use entirely different scripts for each one . In order of knowledge though, it's English and Spanish. After that, it then enters the real 'Bits and pieces' category. Russian, Dari/Farsi (language and script used in Afghanistan and Iran), Kurdish (similar to Farsi), Arabic, Mandarin, Hindi, Urdu (similar to Hindi, different script), Nepali, and Thai. The only one of the 'bits and pieces' category where I have mastered the script, is Cyrillic (used for writing Russian). It was essential. I began learning the script for Dari a few years back but got distracted by a woman (always good to blame) and never got around to continuing the very tricky study .

Arabic numbers are easy enough to learn to read though .

Damn, I'm hardly one to say it but; why can't we all just get along?

Seriously Josh: You fail nearly every time you post something which isn't a question. Give it up. You're a good guy. Give up the forced attitude and return to being the guy who posts a lot of polls. Only post less of them. You're a good natured guy who likes polls. Love's 'em even.

Steef: You know better. That should be enough.

TGE - Speaking pure unadulterated wisdom, whilst possibly being a hypocrite...

...but at least I mean well, which can be a rare thing around here, truth be told.

Roll on May 22.

[Koray Savas 2,260]

Wow, I'd love to be able to speak Finnish and Swedish! You're lucky. Finnish is one of the hardest languages in the world, if not the hardest...

[JoeinAR 1,957]

I wish I could speak spanish with all the illegal mexican's invading Arkansas, its a language I here everyday, and there are $$$ to be made by speaking it and helping those folks out.

[Wojo 2,458]

ingles y espanol

I took a year of Russian my sophomore year of high school, thinking it would be fun. It was a course taught via satellite from South Carolina. I walked in on the first day and instantly knew it had been a mistake. However, attending a small rural high school, the only way I could drop it was to find someone else to take my place, since my spot had been paid for already. I still remember the teacher's name, she was Vera Aleksavnya Polykova-Norwood. My biggest beef was that all of the textbooks were in printed Cyrillic typeface, but she conducted the course via satellite video using cursive Cyrillic, and there was insufficient reinforcement along the way to remember how different exit strokes of letters changed it from one to another. Aargh, it was so confusing. It was so bad, and since I was taking Spanish at the time, I ended up substituting Spanish words for the Russian words I didn't know. That doesn't always work so well.

The only way I passed the course was basically having my best friend (she LOVED the course, and took Russian II to boot) drag me through the course. What a waste of my time. At least it was graded on the Pass/Fail, instead of a letter, so it didn't count against my GPA.
