    Je ne parle pas Francais tres bien.



    Or whatever.



    I speak English, the Language of Love , and some Stoney Indian - basically some swear words. There was a native that used to wander to the gas station I worked at when I was a teenager. He'd stroll in Sunday mornings at 8 am after being booted out of the drunk tank. We'd give him free coffee if he'd teach us how to tell someone off in Stoney.

    Yeah, I speak English and know a fair bit of Spanish too. Yo era un estudiante quien hablaba con mis amigos solamente en Español para que nuestros padres no supieron qué dijimos. Hee hee.

    Danish, German, English and enough French to get the point (not the details) when reading french newspapers but not enough to hold a conversation for more than five minutes.



    Last week I was in Berlin on my "twice-a-year" trip (is there a "opposite" word for bi-annually?). I learned that I can more German than I imagined and I am falling more and more in love with the city. So now I am considering to take one or two semesters in Die Freie Universität. My field is sociology. So if anyone know about die freie please spill your knowledge. Also if you know anything about Humbolt and the difference between Humbolt and die freie.

    Je parles Francais couramment depuis l'age de 3 ans

    I speak english also with my tipycal french accent

    When i was in school i try to learn russian : my level was nothing less than terrible. My russian teacher was very special, her family where white russian who escape russia during the october revolution.

    I remember that she was scarred by little computers like the casio fx : she thought that there was magic in it. During the exam all the students use to cheat, even with my book open on my knees, i was not able to do more than a D ...Only one of my friend was good : but his name was De valukoff his grand father was a russian. I have eard that he manage a bank in russia now.

    German and English fluently... unless I have a bad day ... in that case both languages fail



    I had Latin classes at school for a few years, no knowledge whatsoever remaining though.



    BTW, I am German-Austrian - my name is from Hungary and someone told me it means Crotia in Hungarian - funny thing

    I speak Gothic. It comes in really handy for shutting up those whiny "Goths".

    I can speak Finnish, my German was once vaguely passable and may still work in a pinch but my French, my French is terrible. Horrible! But I love trying it out anyway.

    I speak English of course.



    Je parle francais assez bien. Well, I actually don't speak French that well, just what I learned from school.



    Sushi ga oiishi desu. That is Japanese, using our alphabet. I used to remember hirigana and some katana and kanji (the Japanese scripts.) I haven't had Japanese for a long time so I'm really rusty.



    I also plan on learning Hebrew, it would be pretty smart to know the language of the place where I plan on going to



    Hopefully I will learn some more languages, I want to speak more than my dad who knows 5.
