English...at one time I spoke enough German to get by but I have forgotten a lot of it. I can understand it better than
I can speak it. A little Spanish and a few Russian phrases. Very little French.

That's my goal Luis, to be able to speak, understand and write in Spanish, it's actually a pretty easy language.......except one *little* thing, the "a's and o's", masculine, female, now THAT I'm kinda having a hard time with!

Linda, sign language IS a language so yeah, you know 2 different ones!

Here we go again...I speak, write and read English, Old Saxon/alter bayerisch, deutsch, provencal, francais, espanol, lingua romana, and am working on intermediate Pocckye (Russian).

I can understand Italian (many Latin cognates), Norsk and Dansk; engage in some conversation with them, but have trouble reading them.

'Nuff said.

We all better learn to speak Spanish. They say in 10 years Spanish will be the number one language in the United States.

Yes. Because (as you know) it isn't a cipher of english but a complete language with inflectional rules et cetera.

Si`, me also! LOL! I'm in the process of learning Spanish via a GREAT program, it's a 10 cd series...doing pretty good! I figure with ALL the immigrants we have in Az, particulary PINETOP now, one HAS to KNOW Spanish!

Dennis

Muy Bueno!!! :wink:

It's an easy language to learn, but like everything else, if you don't use it, you lose it! Italian is very similar. I started that in Middle School in NY, but unfortunately when I moved to NJ, they didn't offer it. It was easy to convert to it though.

English, very little Spanish, and, though I can't actually
use the deaf sign language, I know the deaf alphabet and
can make words and sentences.

Speak fluently? -- One --> English ( and sometimes that is debateable)

My accent is too atrocious when speaking Spanish or attempting French. .

Read and Write (other than English) -- Spanish, some French and I can muddle my way through reading most Romance (Latin based) languages.

English and a little Spanish, German, French, Italian, and Hebrew (enough to get by). used to know some Tagalog but havent used it in a LONG time.

stormie_skies · #38 Postby **stormie_skies** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 4:50 pm

English, enough French to maybe get by, a tiny tiny bit of Spanish and a little bit of Egyptian colliquial Arabic (something I tried to teach myself once - before I got completely flustered trying to learn the alphabet - and plan on taking up again).

Actually, isn't there a government program that gives grants to students who want to become fluent in Arabic?

Well I know you're pretty much guaranteed a pretty high pay-grade job in the FBI and/or CIA if you speak Arabic fluently.
