Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Studied these at school/uni (but doesn't mean I could hold a conversation - except maybe in French): Latin, French, Spanish, German, Italian and a few words of Japanese. Oh, and a smattering of Scots . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majorbloodnock Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 As with Christian, fluent "enough" in German. I'm guessing that computer languages don't count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I did French and Spanish A-levels (over 10 years go now). Ought to be good enough to hold a basic conversation, you would think, but last time we went to France I had to ask hubby how to ask for a stamp!

Cate in NZ Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 English, fluently and the only language in which I can confidently hold a proper conversation. Welsh, used to speak it well, but not lived in Wales for a very long time and forgotten most of what I ever knew. Oddly enough I can understand it far better than I speak it these days. Maori, long, long way from fluent but working on it & improving all the time. French, just a smattering of O level (whoops, showing my age there!) French...can often communicate what I want with a lot of gesticulation and good will to go along with the few words I can remember how to string together. Anything else, maybe a few odd words here & there but really not a hope of making myself understood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
