Poll: What other languages do you speak?

by **Stratego** » Sat Sep 08, 2012 11:34 pm

Trying to get a sense of the language diversity on this forum.

What other languages do you feel comfortable communicating in? Use your own judgement on what comfortable means.

i could stumble my way through mexico with a few hours of brushing up on spanish. i could politely ask my way to the airport in japanese and that's about it.

My German is only decent, but my accent is pretty spot-on. I could blend in as a slow-witted Kraut if I wanted to.

I know some Spanish, as well as Spanglish, some words in German and Latin.

I could probably survive as a tourist in french as long as people spoke slowly; It's trying to understand what people are talking about when they're yabbering away in french at full speed which is the difficult part.

I was conversational in French back in the day, but I think its mostly atrophied at this point. I could probably find my way to hotels and airports in Spanish if I absolutely had to...

Bit of Spanish and French. Can ask for directions, order in restaurants, read headlines, etc. Conversation is a bit of a stretch though. As Homer says, the tricky part is understanding the natives.
