English and Spanish

English
and
Filipino(<-- w/ a lil Spanish I think)

English and .......

..... well that's it really.

Je parle un peu fraçais très bien et anglais très très bien! ( I speak a little French really well and English very very well.)

i speak English - its the only lanuage thats worth knowing.

According to 'Lasto Psychology'??? :rolleyes:

I speak English & Spanish...

And the ignorant post of the day award goes to... :)

Puedo hablar espanol, mas o menos, pero el idioma que hablo el mejor del tiempo es ingles.

Kirk, don't be so gerbish with hablo.. lol

actually, my self is aware of French, English and PHP... that's good.. lol

oh, and i learned my wife's language lately... gosh this is the worst thing to learn... complicated, changing depending on humours...

Tried to learn Wife's language for a long time, but i gave up, just no way i am going to learn that. :D

The trick isn't learning the language, it's learning how to respond to the language;

"No you're not fat"
"You look great!" (don't say "fine" here, sometimes "Fine" is worse than "ugly" ;)).
"Of course you're right"
"I'm sorry" (make sure you know what you're sorry for, if you don't a best guess is alright if you guess right but worse than not knowing if you guess wrong. :().
"I like burned x" (x = whatever she cooked).

Used the last (last 2 actually) frequently, but it didn't help much. :D

Or (for the male suicidals) you can say...

"Well, you married me so it's clear that you're incapable of making rash decisions."
"Remember? I'm from Mars?"
"It's ok dear, I still love the rest of you."
"Nah, I've seen bigger."

:D

I don't speak French, but I do kiss that way ;)

Then you do speak a different tongue after all. LOL. :D

why ignorant ?

i speak english so i have no need to speak a foreign lanuage or have any desire to.
When i go abroad on holiday i dont really care if they understand me or if i understand them.So long as im the one waving the euro`s then i usually get what i want.

Has speaking another lanuage got u anywhere in life ? - has it made your life more fullfilled..........

Yes :) lol

Chris

Yes actually... it has. :)

Lasto, this is one of the most ignorant post i have read in a long time. Being bilingual can make you a ton more money. Careers today are looking for people that know more then one language. The world needs less people with attitudes like you.

Here comes the debate! :)

I'm fairly competent in body language and tone of written language (such as reading between the lines). :) I wish I could say that for Japanese (I'm better at the spoken than written)...


Edited: I reversed written with spoken. Sigh... :rolleyes:

Speaking a foreign languages opens doors for you in all walks of life. I don't see where the debate is. It can means you make new friends, have new career opportunities and also it's an attractive trait for someone to have. Cultured, is the word.
