Language Ok, random question. What language do all you speak? If you respond to this, then I guess you can speak English, but what other languages? Sorry if I don't get all of them on the poll, or the poll working at all, but there's a lot of lanuages.

Don't be too ashamed. I'm here to point out that it's actually called Quenya.

German with a couple of words in Latin and Spanish. "Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory." - George S. Patton

All of my ability seems to have been poured into English; I have little facility with other tongues, beyond the smattering stage. I can manage a very rudimentary present-tense Spanish, and an even more rudimentary Greek, both with a very slight vocabulary. I have forgotten all of the French and German I once knew, apart from "yes", "no", "I don't know" and "I don't understand" . And I can cobble together a few phrases in Latin and Old Norse, probably with horridly incorrect syntax and pronunciation...

Sweedish. Mm... sweet. Sounds delicious!
And one guy apparently agrees.

Maybe, perhaps, likely, possibly, probably, potentially.

You can't really speak latin because there is no-one to talk to!! I have taken German 1 twice, so I am pretty good at the basic stuff, but my vocabulary is lacking.  Homestarrunner forever!~!

Hey, didn't we have a "what languages do you speak" poll a month or so ago? "In theory, theory and practice are the same, but in practice, theory and practice are different."

Some Spanish (including a bit of preterite, pluperfect, and future tense, but not a heck of a lot), and smidgens of French, German, and Italian (enough to travel with), and hello/goodbye/I love you/thank you/small integers in Cantonese. Profanity in several additional languages... "In theory, theory and practice are the same, but in practice, theory and practice are different."

Quenya. Look up Telka Nuru on a Quenya dictionary if you want. Here's a hint: I like to snipe in FPS games  The only way to atone for being occasionally a little over-dressed is by being always absolutely over-educated. -Oscar Wilde

Yo hablo Espanol poco veces, para hablo Ingles normalamente. I'm American, so I guess it comes in handy now-a-days!  "I'm in a battle to the death with this wallpaper. One of us has to go."

Swedish is my first language and english my 2nd.
I'v also taken french (hated it back then!) and german. I can actually make myself somewhat understood in german!
French is a bit more difficult. I do understand "fencing-french" but apart from that I get by reading signs etc.
I can also understand & speak a bit in polish. (To be honest I actually think I understand more in polish than in french...)

I've learned a lot of my spanish from fencing, from meeting people from so many different places. That's one of the things I love about this sport. -Sabresque

I am taking spanish now and I'm doing ok. I want to take more in Russian this summer, I know only a few words (friends Russian and she's helping me). I know some Japanese, like maybe 2 words in Mandurian (sp?), and just bits and pieces of languages. "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee."

I know a little Spanish. I have never taken the time to study it in depth, just enough to pass a class. I feel like an ignorant Texan hic. I really should get off my laxy bum and learn Spanish (and other languages) fluently since I live semi close to Mexico.
