    Cool What foreign languages do you speak?!

    Hey guyz....

    What languages(apart from your mother tongue) do you speak?!

    I know very well English, a bit of French and German, and Japanese.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    German, English, and Spanish. I could probably learn the other romance languages fairly easily if I took the time..

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I speak American thank you! Ain't it great?

    Ahem... sorry about that.

    I also speak Spanish. Well... as much as one can since I've not spoken it for a few months anyway...

    I speak English as my mother tongue, excellent French as a foreigner, average French as a native speaker, German and a sprinkling of Hungarian (I went there on holiday a few weeks ago).

    I speak Dutch, English and German (though admittedly not really good), I speak a little bit of French (or at least I try to...reading is far more easy) and can read a bit of Latin. I've tried to learn Arab but so far no good... will have to try again later (although it's better then ancient Greek, at which I am a total failure).

    Save the awful accent I can read, write, speak and understand English very well. Studied German for three years but never perfected it. Although all isn't lost, I can't speak or write it fluently.

    I've had affairs with Arabic, Kurdish and Greek. Can read/write the Greek alphabet and read most of Cyrillic.

    Only under one certain condition, which shall remain untold, may I get interested in studying some French.

    I would doubt that. Perhaps some of our Chinese members haven't piped up yet?
