what languages do you speak?

[frigidweirdo]

A German and a Brit happen to meet not long after the war.

German: "I don't understand. Ve prayed to God for victory but vere defeated."
Brit: "Oh my, God doesn't understand German."

But then the Germans have such good English, it wouldn't surprise me if they prayed in English too

 

[frigidweirdo]

No, but I've heard the most familiar ones spoken.

Then....

 

[Woodznutz]

But then the Germans have such good English, it wouldn't surprise me if they prayed in English too

With some Russian thrown in as well.

 

[Woodznutz]

Then....

Then what?

American English and Florida Cracker. A teacher once used me to interpret the words and phrases in Zora Neal Hurston's stories

 

[frigidweirdo]

With some Russian thrown in as well.

And Dutch and French and Spanish.

 

[Woodznutz]

And Dutch and French and Spanish.

Didn't help them.

 

[Crepitus]

Not as much as Korean...

I don't speak Korean, though I would like to learn and visit the normal part someday.

 

[Crepitus]

just add an "H" to the end of it.

Maybe it's the lower class londoner version with the dropped "h"?

 

[Moonglow]

I have an overblown ego.

 

[Crepitus]

I have an overblown ego.

Did you mean to say "I 'ave an overblown ego"?

 

[Moonglow]

Did you mean to say "I 'ave an overblown ego"?

No, I don't speak cockney

 

[Jarlaxle]

Only English for me.

My wife speaks fluent English, her first language was Spanish.

 

[Genevieve]

English fluently. I can get by in 5 other languages though I am not fluent in any of them.

 

[BackAgain]

Our incumbent President is fluent in Babble.

 

[Trickster]

English, the most beautiful and expressive of languages.

Looooool, in what world, m8?

 

[Trickster]

More than a couple fluently and a few more not fluently.

 

[Trickster]

English fluently. I can get by in 5 other languages though I am not fluent in any of them.

What do you mean by "get by" exactly?

 

[Grumpyolman]

I can speak Spanish with no accent. Unfortunately, all I know are the cuss words. Putos.

 

[Genevieve]

What do you mean by "get by" exactly?

I can read a menu, signs, etc. And I can understand enough to know what someone is telling me but I am not fluent enough to reply in sentence form unless it is to order a meal. My Italian and Spanish accents are good. My French and German accents are awful. I know a few necessary words in Tagalog.
