Languages

[Angel]

Question for everyone!

What languages do you speak?

I know a bit of spanish, about 300 random italian words, but officially I am studying Japanese.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaann I want to go to Japan!!! When I was 18 I wanted to join the AF so that I could move to Japan, but I have chronic athsma and they wouldn't let me. Guess it worked out though, that I didn't go crazy in combat or something.

English and French. It was very useful when I traveled to eastern Canada and more importantly, when I went to Lebanon.

 

[Angel]

That's neat!

 

[stovebolts]

English, C, C++ (although I'm really rusty with both of them) Visual Basic and SQL.

 

[ravindran_eee]

I speak English and Tamil.. Any Tamilians around here? Or at least Indians?

Hi Ravindran!
You'll have to invite your friends!

Up here, Canada is bilingual in English and French....(as I am...)

 

[Knotical]

English, certainly, but do we consider Sarcasm a language?

In the programming world, I know a smattering of SQL and VBA, but that is pretty much it.

 

[Claudya]

Didn't we have a thread about that only two weeks ago?

German, English, French, small bits of modern Greek, some Latin. I'd love to learn Japanese but can't afford lessons.
And since StoveBolts mentioned software code languages, I also know some java.

 

[Angel]

I dunno? I'm new here

That's really cool Claudya

So do you speak Demotiki or Katharevousa? (though I think Katharevousa went out with the Coup Colonels in Greece, right?)

LOL

 

[Angel]

English and a little bit of Polish. I can sort've read polish too. Enough to not be lost if I ever went there but not fluent or anything that good. I got straight A's in English in school, it was my my best subject.

I can count to ten in Japanese, lol. Left over from my Judo days.

I always got A's in English, growing up and in college too!

Juuuudo CHOP!

The modern Greek spoken today is like a mix of Demotikí and Katharénousa, but with the former having a much greater influence. There's still some Katharénousa in the orthodox church.

Angel:

To savor and enjoy language, one doesn't even necessarily need to learn a foreign language, although this is excellent, too. Learning to enjoy and savor one's own language is a very good idea, too!

Blessings.

 

[Angel]

Agreed!

 

[farouk]

Agreed!

Well, exactly...

Nope. No need.
