Cunilinguists?
 

I wanted to see how many languages all our Gc'ers speak? surely we have some linguists among us?

I thought this thread was about insightful people. You know, "cunning linguists."

Anyway, I just speak English.

6 languages - 2 not as well as the other 4.

as always, Rudey

Only English, I'm ashamed to admit. I really wish I was fluent in French and Italian. I can pretend I'm fluent in French, as long as I know the topic before hand and am not asked to speak much.

And I thought of something dirty when I saw the topic name too.

You were thinking it too then huh? That's kinda perverted Katie.

English and I was fluent in Polish when I was a little kid but now I only remember a couple of prayers and some great cuss words.

glad i wasn't the only one...

That and the Alec Baldwin's "Sweatty Balls" NPR skit on SNL are some of the funniest episodes.

3 languages. My French and Spaninsh have languished due to neglect though.

3: English, and I could survive in Europe on French and German.

My Spanish has weakened due to lack of use.

In order of profiency:

English
Hebrew
Russian
Latin
and a tad of Spanish.

ETA: Yiddish... but I can only speak it, I can't read it.

Ditto

ETA:
ASL (American Sign Language) also, so I know 4.:)

3. I speak and read some French and Japanese.

Does no one know any "computer languages"? ;)

I speak German enough not to kill myself in Europe, and I can understand HTML, C++, and Visual Basic. :)

(And I also thought of something dirty when I saw the title...)

Ah James am I the only one who got this?:(

Oh, I do speak Earp Speak and English, not the King/Queens of course!:rolleyes:

Again James Nice Reverery and funny answers!;) OMG!:D

I can speak Korean and just tiny bits of different languages such as Spanish since I took four years of it in high school.

English, Spanish and Italian.


Spanish and Italian are so similar, though, that I'm always mixing them up.

Also, I speak the international language of love.

I speak Spanish passably, know a very small amount of Latin and Greek, and know a ridiculous amount of computer languages.

I speak English. I can read/translate some Italian, Latin, French, German, and Spanish. Also being that i grew up spending a lot of time in my friend's home(her family is Indian/Hindu) I can speak and understand some of their language (but I cant read it).

4 languages:
English
French
Japanese
Hawaiian

and 2 dialects (because they were always spoken at home):
Ilocano
Tagalog

English of course. I can read French pretty well and speak it a little.

3 but working on #4...if you're gonna count computer languages I'd be up around 10-15.

Fluent in Spanish (the Venezuelan dialect).
Understand French, Italian and Portuguese (I can get the gist of a conversation or a brief passage in a book or magazine.)
Speak, read and understand enough German to start a barroom brawl, and just enough Russian to bring back the Cold War. :)

i must admit, i was thinking dirty thoughts too

I speak English, Cantonese and a bit of French.

Sheket bevakasha!

Does anyone know ASL (American Sign Language)? I've been wanting to pick that up, as well as some Spanish, because I come across those a lot in the school system. The only languages I speak now are English and French.

Yes.

-Rudey

I know BSL (Brooklyn Sign Language.) Its easy to learn because it only involves the use of the middle finger.

English and "Franish" - a terrible mixture of French and Spanish, which thoroughly confuses the little Hispanic children I work with.;)

English, obviously...and French is my minor :)

English of course and fluent in Spanish.

English, Indonesian, Malay, Afrikaans and some Xhosa and zulu.
Trying to learn French and Korean. Korean is going much better then French.

German and fluent in English

well lemme see..I can speak 2 fluently. I learned 3 other languages in classes. Out of the 3, I can understand but not speak 1, I can read the other 2 and know the basic words and conjugations(?sp). I plan on learning 2 more languages fluently.

You can teach yourself somewhat, with a good book AND a video - but I'd recommend taking some sort of class, or find a tutor. Although ASL is somewhat based on English, the grammar is quite different, and can be confusing.

I've learned a blend of ASL/SEE (Signed Exact English) sign language from my wife - "true" ASL as taught in school isn't necessarily what "deaf" people use to communicate - there are blends of the different sign languages available.
