Other languages?

[AniaSM]

I speak fluent English and Polish but I was born there so it's not surprising. What other languages do you speak and how well do you speak them?

[WendyS]

Rusty French and rusty Italian. I could probably just about survive if I was dumped in either of these two countries. I also learned Russian for a couple of years but never really had the chance to practise it so can now only remember the odd word, and certainly can't remember how to write it.

French and German I could cope with very well. I once got by in Italy using Classical Latin.

[Carakeel]

I am fluent in English and German; my French is pretty good; in Italian I get by with very basics (did a beginners course only) and I only speak a few sentences in Japanese. Dabbled in Russian a few years ago, but had to give up as my son became ill and I couldn't devote the time. It was really also too difficult for me anyway. Pronunciation was OK, but couldn't get my head around the writing at all. grrrrrrr! But I do love the way they drink their Vodka!! :o)

Tourist French ... and I have been known to talk rubbish from time to time ... lol

[Le Chat]

SPANISH, pretty fluent. My ex husband is part Spanish and his family in Madrid did not speak any English at all. We spent a lot of time over there (his uncle had won 'el gordo' the lottery and is a millionaire) so unless I wanted to feel like a mute idiot, I decided I needed to learn quickly. They were all duly impressed.
We are divorced now but it was something very good to have come out of the relationship.

Fluent French (I lived there), passable Spanish, Italian and German and, thanks to an ex gf, I can swear proficiently in Danish.
I must have gone to the same evening classes as Naz did, coz after enough alcohol, I speak perfect rubbish too. lol

[SarCaustic]

I speak English, Urdu and Punjabi fluently. I can speak Spanish reasonably well - I'm studying it at A Level. I can curse quite well in French and Polish. And I can say a few words in Japanese because I once watched half an hour of a "Learn Japanese" program that was on in the early hours in the morning.

Did French, German and Italian for a year at uni and Spanish A Level, bit rusty but not too bad. Lived with some italian and french people recently which was a good refresher. Friench is probably my strongest as worked there a bit.

Did a basic courses in welsh, russian and sign language a while back and learnt some romanian before I went out there to do some work. Picked up a bit of greek as was housed with a load of greek guys for a bit at uni.

Welsh was helped by working locally in a very welsh speaking area and playing for a darts team who were all fluent in welsh, in fact i was probably one of if not the only one in the league not fluent. Some matches were in the welsh speaking only pubs so had to pick it up quick.

Love languages and should really get back to them.

[prattler]

I can speak Dutch-Dutch toddler style.

[OBonio]

German I would get by fine with I would hope. Though it's 10 years since college. Got by with my French in Belgium before now 'Service est compris?'... wife was most impressed. Picked up some Spanish in Barcelona.. no Catalan though. Count to 5 in welsh and know how to say I'm full aswell. 'Hello' in japanese. Completely fluent in rubbish too!

[raysparx1]

well rubbish must be the most widely spoken, I am also fluent it it.
