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".
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.
