Where did you learn Japanese Pornwolf?

English and understand very, very little Italian and Spanish. I really need to brush up on those! Thanks for the reminder buddy :)

Scottish & English

(yes they are different :winkwink:)

How long did it take you to learn?

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

English, and quite a bit of Latin...

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

100% English
100% Italian
50% Spanish

Damn. I feel so insignificant being one of the very few who don't know more than 1 language :(

Swedish, English, some german and french..

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.

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

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.

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...

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.

"Three beers please, no, I want 3 beers....NO beer, not brie........BEEEEEEER!!!!"

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