Raz
How many languages can you speak?

Which ones, and how did you learn them?

yerssot
more than one and with my mouth big grin

mah
norwegian, learned by living here

english, first learned at school then everywhere

german, although bad at it, school

japanese, okay so not really, but trying to learn

Captain REX
Other than english...uh...pass. big grin

I have an aunt from Peurto Rico and my dad's friend's wife is from France, and lots of foreigners come to Disneyland, so I've heard many different languages, but I can't speak them.

Tex
English

Ushgarak
I have a bad relationship with languages...

finti
Besides the fact that I can get my self understood around Scandinavia( swedish and danish) I speak English, German, Spanish(some) Greek and some French(what I dont know, but was able to help some French tourist in Stavanger confused )

Gundark
Typical stupid american here.

Wee bit of German and French. Wee. Bit.

Dexx
Well, romanian ofcourse
English...hard studying in school
and a bit of french...but don't count on it

finti
so you could speak with Vlad Tepes big grin evil face

Dexx
yes i could.....if he'd be alive

finti
aint he evil face evil face

Dexx
nope

LaurenE147
I speak English and am learning Latin in school.

I want to learn Spanish, French, Egyptian, Greek, Italian, and Mandarin. Mandarin is the most spoken language in the world. Spanish will be useful. French will be useful when I live in Paris. Italian will be useful when I live in Venice. Greek is cool. And Egyptian is cool.

finti
cool thing aint helpful, useful is

LaurenE147
that's why those two will be last

Dexx
Latin, bwah...good thing i got rid of latin this year.......damn ugly language

Captain REX
You're talkin about modern-day Egyptian, right? I thought archeologists didn't know what the ancient Egyptian language sounded like. confused

ToMacco
Raz, what are you, the robot in Return of the Jedi? "How many languages do you speak?"

I speak english and some real shady spanish.

And some pig-latin.

Captain REX
ouyay uckerfay. stick out tongue

yerssot
Fluent languages:
Dutch, it's my first language, unfortunatly...
than you have French and German, which are obligated to learn overhere, since we have three official languages. (not that you have to think that the Wallons will learn it, but heck, they're not smart, well, most of them; some of them are)

Than you have that language English, if you don't look at my spelling, it's not THAT bad wink

And South-African, it's based on Dutch, but still has many differences, grammar and voc wise...

Basic Languages:
speak some spanish thanks to my dad

learned some latin in school, mostly forgot it by now though

*thinks*
some japanese (well, few words, not really a language), think that's it...
well, want to learn Mandarin, more Japanese and Romanian, last one since my nephew married one and she can't make herself understandable here

Ushgarak
Ah, you can't even say that there is a pretty girl in the picture, in Latin, yerss!

Stupid language, anyway.

People like yerssot, Finti and queeq speak too many languages. They do it to embarrass us primary english speakers.

yerssot
who needs latin when you know it in Taiwanese wink
like said, my latin is getting worse every day!

yeah, we always point and laugh at your monolinguistic culture big grin

mah
yep, keep up the laughing, so in the end they'll be under too much pressure, and widen the language-horizon.

yerssot
ah! you haven't met these brits! they just curl up and cry wink

Ushgarak
You guys shoot yourselves in the foot if that is your tactic because you leave yourselves SO open to mass mocking!

yerssot
mass mocking? tell me something new roll eyes (sarcastic)

sand person no. 10
I can speak english and oh the other milliion languages I invented mself big grin

mah
lets mock ush for only speaking english! stick out tongue

yerssot
you set the example first, I'll follow later

mechmoggy
I speak English only. Did learn some French at school but couldn't wait to drop the subject for something more interesting.

Still remember "Merd" though, which is always a useful phrase to remember when eating in a French restaurant. wink

yerssot

Dexx
funny thing, we should've asked Tolkien how many languages he knew.
Hey Yerss, i can teach you romanian.

yerssot
sure, go ahead, need it

Dexx
Hey, it's not an easy language. But you sure cane invent curses with it. Damn best original curses anyone could create evil face

LaurenE147
I think it sucks that they don't force us in America to learn a language at a young age. That's how they do it in a lot of other places.

yerssot
well, lets start dexx

Dexx
ok...what do u wanna learn first.

yerssot
to be sane

Dexx
u can learn that in english too

yerssot
it's what I always wanted wink

Dexx
now it can be for real

yerssot
well, write some down

Dexx
ok, first thing you must do. For now, every morning and when you go to bed you have to say 50 times: "I am sane" combined with"I'm normal" and ofcourse "I'm not crazy".....

yerssot
oh! I don't think I can do that! that's lieing!

LaurenE147
You must convince yourself.

yerssot
ok..
I am a wacko! I am a wacko!

say, this stuff is already working!

Dexx
i know, i tried it a few years ago......then i didn't have to say it anymore. It was saying by itself...

Captain REX
Words that say words...interesting Dexx. Vot you have is schitzophrenia.

Dexx
not schitzophrenia. It somethin' unimaginable......

Captain REX
Imaginary mental problems then. You are demented.

Dexx
i don't think the diagnostic can be pronounced

yerssot
oh! I want it!!

queeq
You probably had it first and its contageous.

yerssot
wanna have it too?

Dexx
hey, i think u have it too

yerssot
teehee! and everyone has it now!

Dexx
well it's not that easy to get.....i don't think everybody has it yet

queeq
I think it's only contageous below an IQ of 50. I am, of course, waaaaaaaaaaayyyy above that.

yerssot
IQ of 50.1?

queeq
That shows how high your IQ is...

Dexx
Ha!, i have 50.2 and you're just jelous

finti

Captain REX
I have an IQ of 7 trillion. I must be the master. big grin

Anyway, in real life, my friend Zink's sister has an average grade level of 4.4. eek!

finti

Thomas H
Thats because you are evil! stick out tongue

Dexx
after close evaluations i decided that i am above what the IQ can rate.
Now who da man, who da man?

finti

Gundark
Gee...BB, we're glad you're here to tell us these things. roll eyes (sarcastic)

queeq
And what an incredible smell you discovered.

Gundark
Its not gonna take them long to figure out what happened to us.

queeq
Well, if they follow standard Imperial procedures, they'll dump their garbage before they go to lightspeed.

Gundark
Does that include yerssot ?

queeq
I doubt they'd even take him on board.

mah
toxic waste

queeq
Oh no, they do have toxic waste on board.

Dexx
so they have toxic waste, but they don't have Yerssot. Do they have TWON-HAs?

phinney6
hahahahhaa

Dexx
what?

queeq
It's being discussed in the Imperial Garbage and Other Disposables Regulations Comittee as we speak.

Dexx
let me know if you find any.
