    Languages... How many do you speak?

    Even though I should really be focusing on Spanish, since I would probably get a lot more use out of it in my area, I picked up this unopened Arabic Rosetta Stone for free, so I figured, I can spare a few hours a week, so why not.
    Anyone here speak a foreign language?

    English, Spanglish, Engrish, Spanish, German (some), Finnish (a little), Hebrew (speak, not read much any more) Latin and Greek (professionally, which is to say not much), Medicine, Aviation, Engineering, Sailing, and Klingon.

    Not real impressed until you said Klingon.

    hmm, lets see... English, American, Canadian... eh?, Dutch, German, Swedish, Swiss, German, Ukrainian, Polish, Australian, Mauro, Cree, Sioux, Blackfoot, Chippewa, A smattering of zhumbi, and Swahili... and of course a healthy dose of BULLSHIT!

    Actually, only English, but I can be polite in Spanish, French, Latin and Greek...

    And rude in most others mentioned...



    eta: I think Arab would be great to learn, since they are breeding out the world for one, and most importantly to be able to 'listen' in in mixed company. I think that that would be an incredible skill to have!!!

    kudos!

    I agree with T on learning the Arab. Realistically Spanish as well. We are getting over ran by both.

    Being the dumbass I am, How many dialects of Arab and Spanish are there? I know Iran speaks Farsi, but how different than regular Arab is it. How many others?

    that too!

    China is the second fastest breeding country in the world *I think*

    Wasn't it the English, when they tried to invade Scotland who raped the women under the premise of 'breeding' out the scot?
