Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me Liberty or give me death." Patrick Henry, Virginia House of Burgesses, March 23, 1775
Quo Vadis?
Luke 22:36, And he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

I can order whisky or women in about a dozen languages, but other than that, nada. Spanish was a second language when I was young and it comes back to me fairly quickly when I work with it regularly, but otherwise it is very slow going.
English, passable French, enough to make me understandable, some German from when I was little. Used to be able to understand Armenian, thanks to grandmother who lived next door to us but I don't think I'd be able to understand it now.
Can say please and thank you in a couple of other languages but that's about it
Ive got a few of these as well, heading to DLI for NK next it seems. Maek Joo Chu Say Yo! (spelling may be off, I last studied it in 1989!)Originally Posted by izzyscout21
RELIGION IS LIKE A PENIS
Its fine to have one,
Its fine to be proud of it,
But please dont whip it out in public and start waving it around,
And PLEASE dont try to force it down my children's throats.
An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.
I speak fluent frontier gibberish and swearing.
Sadly, that's about it. I know some German words.
If you think that come SHTF you are gonna jock up in all your kit and be a death-dealing one man army, you're an idiot - izzyscout
Cervesa, por favor?
Just because we are peaceful does not mean we have forgotten how to be violent.
LOL. I went to DLI. I actually liked Rosetta Stone more, believe it or not.
i actually learned the German through immersion while i was stationed there.
I learned Dari and Pashto from my terp while deployed.
i'm working on mandarin, and can understand russian. I can speak enough of it to get by, but its very crude.
as much Dora and Diego as my kids watch, the kids will have me fluent in spanish if im not careful

I'm convinced that Dora has drugs in that backpack, she's a mule for the cartel. LolLOL. I went to DLI. I actually liked Rosetta Stone more, believe it or not.

Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.
English, Spanish (more or less a job requirement), German (stationed there 3 years), Hebrew, a little Latin and Greek, some french, Portuguese, Dari, Pushto, Arabic, Farsi. Oh, and I can swear pretty well in Russian.
My wife and I try and learn Finnish, but it i tough. It's called a heavenly language since it will take a eternity to learn to speak it well.
Izzy tries to look dumb but he's actually a rocket scientist in hiding. German was my first language but is made my American grandmother mad so my mom learned English and stopped speaking her native tongue to me...she didn't want to upset her mother in law in this new country. Kind of sucks. Only remember a few things. Took Spanish in high school and college but forgotten most of it. Can say hello in Japanese and Korean but that's about it. But hey, I can write in pig Latin so does that count?
I apologize for nothing...
