<<I speak most languages in the world with the exception of Greek!!

Really I do, ask me any question in any language.>>



Really, John?

ಇದು ಯಾವ ಭಾಷೆ ಹೇಳು?

Oh, I get it. Any non-latin script looks like "Greek" to you...Chinese is Greek, Russian is Greek, etc...

First light-hearted thread of the year I believe!

-Native language: Spanish (Peruvian Spanish) I know and understand all accents. Well... All but the broad Puerto Rican accents (Reggaetone sorta thing)

-Languages I speak and degree of proficiency from 1 to 10:

English .- 9
Italian .- 6
Portuguese .- 4

-Languages I understand but can't speak and degree of comprehension:

French .- 4
Japanese .- 2 LOL

-Languages I want to learn after perfecting the ones I know:

All the other romance languages.
And after that German or Russian.

Regards

I think "mastering" sounds better that "perfecting". But you get the idea.

>> A stab at Parisien's multilingual jumble.

I am capable of speaking and understanding almost all the romance languages except Portuguese as well as the western Germanic and Scandinavian languages. Therefore I don't need English on the continent.

From Sicily to Cabo Norte, I am at home.

I did not use google translate. How did I do at his scramble?

I'm not sure about the amb part... <<

Amb? That looks like Catalan or some such. It means "with".
pete n' pete   Wed Apr 07, 2010 3:16 am GMT
hmm... every romance language except portuguese eh? i somehow doubt you know romanian or sicilian and other more obscure ones

but i was able to understand that message

anyway for me it's just english, french, spanish, a little italian and german, and some elementary czech because i had to learn it due to a large community of them in my hometown when growing up in texas.
