What Languages Can You speak

[Andy]

Apart from English, yobbo, and jibberish, what legitimate languages can you converse in??

I know enough Japanese to have a conversation with a tourist thanks to my high school edumacation, and am currently learning Italian.

 

[madunit]

I can speak English, American, Australian, New Zealand, Tasmanian and some Preniers as well.

 

[Andy]

Everyone's a comedian too

 

[Andy]

Like I said, comedians

 

[t-ba]

I can speak Afrikaans pretty well. It's the language my family uses when they're fighting :lol: .

I know a few phrases in Tibetan, Nepali and Hindi, but nowhere near enough to actually use it in a conversation. In most cases, you've just got to hope the person takes pity on the silly 'american' and start speaking perfect english...

Edit-I can also translate Latin into English :lol: .

 

[dead_possum]

English, yobbo, jibberish, highbrow
francais
deutch
pascal
fortran
pick-basic
perl
java
html
unix
dos
VB (not the beer)
pitjanjatjara (a little bit)
L33+
sms txt (I understand it but mostly refuse to write it)
geek chat (BTW IMHO AFAIK IANAL ROTFL)
and a tiny bit of japanese and italian

I'd like to be able to speak pitjanjatjarra, japanese and italian better, and learn balinese, and chinese.

can you please translate that to japanese for me?

No, Japanese have no sense of humour, therefore, no word for comdeian.

 

[Jimbo]

I can pick up chicks in Spanish (thanks Chile!!)

 

[Andy]

I get kisses from French girls..

Kiss me softly please - Bai sur moi sivouple (I can't win a french spelling bee though)

after a total of 9 years spent learning Italian I can

* ask and answer the questions 'how are you' and 'whats your name'

* Say good morning, afternoon and good night

* count to 100

* know selected colours (umm two types of blue, yellow, white and thats probably it

and say the words 'house' and 'cow'

Thats it - Languages just are not my thing!

[KF]

I can speak Viet, English, bit of mando, canto and french. I can also speak pig latin. :lol:

 

[Razor]

Some Japanese, Russian, Croatian, Romanian

 

[Samwise]

I find the best way to learn a new language is watch a DVD and change the subtitles to your language of choice. Thanks to waynes world i can now tell a chick she makes me feel kinda funny like when we climbed the rope in gym class...in spanish!

other than that i know a few swedish phrases that would get you slapped if you said them in english, also some very basic japanese, and chinese.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

When i was i younger i could speak pretty fluent Ulraninan/Russian....and a bit of German but as i've gotten older i've forgotten alot of it.

 

[mullet]

parlo italiano

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

I had a habit when I was younger, apart from the obvious one, of learning how to swear in different languages.

I can say something nasty in about 10 languages.

Except French. You can't be nasty in French. You can say "I want to take a crap in your purse" in French and it won't sound nasty.
