Sure. Check out a new site called www.trymango.com it looks like it's good for the quick brush up.

So I can generally catch the gist of most Western tongues.

Where did you learn Japanese Pornwolf?

Heh, funny story. In 1999 I was doing business with a few Japanese companies. We were always having conference calls where we would discuss something and at times they would go into a Japanese huddle on the other side of the call. All I could hear was what sounded like "eskjaiua asfiuaosfbab aoifaobf ab aifaosbfoabofa afobahfoab aihfaohfoa afhaofabvoga aoklsdkldfbbd so so desu."

I got tired of that shit. Not being in the loop was pissing me off. Japanese businessmen are the types who outwardly avoid confrontation, so you don't really know when there is a problem. If American businessmen have issues we usually bring it up face to face. They don't, they will say everything is fine but will slit your throat from behind. Different cultures yunno.

So, I grabbed a Living Language learn Japanese book with accompanying CD and made it my mission to learn as fast as possible. It only took me about 4 months to get a working understanding. That's with studying and also having Japanese friends to help. I never learned to read Kana or anything. That is a bit too hard.

I kept learning and got fairly fluent a year later. I lost touch with my Japanese friends and finished the deal around 2001 so without practice I'm nowhere near where I was back then when it comes to my fluency.

uno, can you guess what it is??

I can venture a guess if you really want me to.

[GrouchyAdmin]

UR IN AMERICCA SPEAK MERIKUN!

I can almost stumble by in Spanish, I know enough German to get slapped, and enough Finnish to get knifed.

[pornask]

I speak attempted English, but am also fluent in Czech, Slovak, Polish and understand Russian and Ukrainian ;)

Would get along in most other Slavic languages...

[ultimatebbwdotcom]

I thought the international language was just English, where regardless of the country youre in you just progressively raise your voice and point wildly and eventually they'll understand.

This method has worked for Brits on European vacations for decades.

UR IN AMERICCA SPEAK MERIKUN!

I know for a fact that a large percent of the country thinks English is specific to America.

English, spanish slang/profanity (from working in restaurants in Nevada for a several years), a small bit of French from high school, but have forgotten a lot of it

[digitaldivas]

Italian, English, spanish pretty good and french, german and russian dirty words

[GreyWolf]

Scottish & English

(yes they are different )

Parliamo Glesca??

They sure are different Scott - and fluent in both... and a few others to varying degrees. It's amazing how you can learn a language quick when you need to eat in whatever country

[DaddyHalbucks]

Foreign languages are great, and I admire people who can master them.

However, in my view, there should be only 1 official language of the USA --and it should be English.

The other foreign languages should be just that, foreign. Study them as foreign languages.

[DWB]

Still working on English.

[GreyWolf]

However, in my view, there should be only 1 official language of the USA --and it should be English.

You think????

Part of any language is having an ability to spell correctly - that may be a good starting point. If that keeps failing - try Spanish and see if ya can get that right without screwing it up

[EthnicLover]

Español! Claro chico.

[just a punk]

I speak Russian only. Just don't need to know any other languages here
