That is a valid point actually.

Myself:

Body language
Danish
Drunken Danish
English
Drunken English
Some German
Quite a bit of Drunken German
Very little French
Even less Drunken French (I think "fetches la vache" about covers it)
Can communicate with Swedes, but it's usually just a waste of time... they're almost always drunk.

'Fetchez la vache!' is a heady distillation of pure comic awesomeness, which remains funny [cue Twilight Zone music] even when you're sober.

[Usarka]

Soy de Barcelona y hablo inglés muy bueno.

[Oldfulla]

English, and rather average swedish with a bad accent if I concentrate ALOT.

[avgas]

Body Language being my besterest
im actually very good at reading/listening to that (no joke), it pisses people off who assume i know what they are saying as i can understand how they are saying. Picked it up being round far to many cultures, watching too much international programs and never learning proper english to start off with.

[avgas]

I cant speak any language any good. But i have tried english, french, german, math, Japanese's (well 2 of em)....currently trying mandarin - but i can find one that fits me just right.
Unfortunately most of the unintelligent world speaks english so i have to keep falling back on that and forget the others.
I blame America. They should learn spanish and make it easier on the rest of us. Rather than contort english any more.

[NotaGoth]

(Want to come back to my place?)

He aha to nama waea korero?

Kei te nui te ahua o taku nono i roto i tenei?

[kerfufflez]

Oh and by the way it is "scone" not "scon" there is a fricking "E" on the end for a reason people!!! arrrrrrggggggghhhhh!!!!!!

First paragraph of the first page of the first book the the Ecce Romane Latin textbook series. For some reason, no-one who ever studied using these books forgets this phrase.


Je parle en francais et en anglais.

Je parles francais et anglais, surely. You wouldn't say 'en'.

As for me. I speak good English, bad French and a few variations of BASIC.

Jus is not gravy. Jus is literally juice. It is the juices that the meat is naturally full of, that are released when cooked. Sounds like gravy, but ce n'est pas.

[Xile]

'Fetchez la vache!' is a heady distillation of pure comic awesomeness, which remains funny [cue Twilight Zone music] even when you're sober.but which does not exist in french lol! (except la vache, meaning the cow)

[Xile]

Jus is as well fruit juice like jus de pomme or jus d'orange etc...

So many people knowing bit of French, i'm impressed...
Could i write all (few) posts in French from now? I'm conscious that my english is not too bad but i'm really much better at french!!!

:2thumbsupAhh yes. Jus is juice - which is what I said. But on a flash menu, it is usually meaning juices from the meat.

[klyong82]

I speak ChinEnglish, Malay, Mandarin, 4 other chinese dialect and heaps of jebba jabba.

[Xile]

Ahh yes. Jus is juice - which is what I said. But on a flash menu, it is usually meaning juices from the meat.

No worries, i'm still not very aware about the fantaisies of your kiwi menus and all these french expressions in newspaper...Funniest is when there are some that I don't even understand!!! lol
Might be french classy image :)
