What languages do you speak?

So, what languages do you speak? Ordered by the "fluentness" of your speech in that language.

I'll start.

1) Estonian

2) English

3) German

4) Russian

5) Finnish

6) Latin

7) Italian

8) French

9) Spanish

10) Chinese

Can you beat that? :razz:

Amazing that is; Madedog

For myself I am proficient in

1a) German
1b) English
2) Bavarian

huge gap in between

And not very skilled in

3) French
4) Japanese

Never try to be perfect - just try it and make the best out of it

American (Want to bet that this hasn't become a separate dialect?)
Programing (They're languages which can be spoken)

I knew other languages. Forgot Spanish and Arabic, since I didn't know anyone else who was fluent or spoke in it often enough.

---

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

2) English

8) French (merely decent)

10) Chinese (small traces of words and numbers)

Talk about a show off thread Madedog :razz:

I speak only English. I learnt French in school and was pretty
proficient at it, but having not used it at all in the past 5 years I
can't recall very much now. I'm sure languages are the sort of thing
that come back to you when you start trying to use it again.

Madedog, how many words of Chinese do you know? I kinda doubt it's too many.

Mandarin Chinese is my first language, but I started learning English in 1985. I also learned Spanish in high school, and I can converse slowly in Spanish with my patients.

I can read books in all three languages, although I need a dictionary nearby when I read Spanish novels.

1. English

2. er..

3. that's it.

I've tried Italian and German (under my own volition) and French (not)
and find that I have no talent in that direction at all.

I've nothing but admiration for you lads who can correspond in a
language that isn't your own: and very often better than native
speakers - most notably the Dutch and Americans

just english, well i hardley speak english that well anyway lol :razz:

1. English
2. German

but my German just comes from reading translations of Rammstein lyrics, so its not great.

I speak:

1. Dutch

2. English

3. Fries (a not-so-well-known language, and not-so-important these days)

4. German

I've learnt French, or rather, I should've learned French. I've had
Latin too, but I can barely translate a text, leave alone speaking the
language.

I am learning papiamentu at the moment, and can speak that a little. More fun that the previous two languages, imho.

Better to be in denial than to be human.

Bill Gates understands binary: his company is number one, and his customers are all zeros.

mentioning code is, ok, funny; but mentioning latin is bs, we all (well
most of us) had latin in school, that doesnt mean you can speak it
without having to think for 2 mins before speaking out your
sentence. mentioning dialect is rather obvious.

I read somewhere that for belgians, being in such a small country with
such a rare language, it's obvious to learn how to speak other
languages, and so they are averagely amongst the ones who know most
different languages fluently in the world. I suppose this is also the
case for the dutch, though there are less dutch ppl that know french
fluently.

We get dutch, french, english and german automaticaly in school. we know english from tv cause everything is subtitled.

this goes so far that if tourists ask us something we automaticaly try to continue in their language.

anyway

dutch (fluent)

english (fluent)

french (fluent)

german (notions)

spanish (notions)

These words are my diaries screaming out loud

4)Kannada

5)x86 Assembly?

Oh well, if you wanted me to list my fluent programming languages ...

C/C /Java/PHP/Javascript (they all have the same syntax)
x86 Assembly
HTML/XML

But, if you're going into that realm, I can also speak in logic. It's not always spot on though. It's much easier to write than to speak. But it's doable and just makes it funnier ... with proper associates of course. (People who can understand it)

I suppose you can count prolog and maple too then, hmm?

Now, asking what languages someone ENJOYS is a completely different question.

fluently :razz: I was like talking about... the first 4 are real good,
others are rather beginners'. Chinese, though, I know a couple of
words, nothing else :razz: (but still :razz: lol)

those, though.

Postfix?! You're a terrible programmer! And I know it isn't C, since you're defining a variable in the loop.

Not to mention, you should have used switch statements :rolleyes:

Also, Macintosh already showed that there are people coherant in binary. They had to show that so they could prove software is patentable.

Not to mention, before they created assembly language (which is interchangeable with binary for the most part), programmers had to do everything in binary. But then there were many things that were very different from the way things work now.

By the way, if you're wondering what he said:

I don't know, you can use binary in conversations... though it will be long :razz:

But using 8-bit ascii translations would be something you'd want to mention.

1. American

2. Ebonics

3. Chinese

I can understand most any American I talk to, I listed Ebonics on its
own becuase I dont feel like it is in the same class as a souther
drawl, etc.

I find Ebonics the most extreme evolution of English, now I'm not
talking about the vanacular you hear from Little John and pop
rappers. Stuff you hear in Urban areas of Atlanta (and maybe
other cities). I cant speak very well in Ebonics but I can
understand quite well. When ever we go to a McDonnells my dad can
never understand anyone beucase they either have a thick souther accent
or speak in "Ebonics" (not full ebonics, just hard for the old guy to
understand).

I took 3 years of high school Chinese, I wasn't able to speak it in
China this summer but I can understand bits of people speaking and I
did know about 200+ characters but now... less than 50. I think I
would pick it up if I were to live in China for maybe 6 months (though
you can do that with most any language).

Oh, and guys... even I could use a binary transator.

Accents would be a good topic of discussion. Which do you find most offensive and which most pleasing.

Personally, I abhor southern accents, as they tend to sound like baby talk retained into adulthood. To clarify that, you'd have to have heard a southern drawl first. (Tennessee,Arkansas,Kentucky,Alabama and Georgia all suck ass)

I could listen to both a Louisiana bayou and a New Englander all day. I have a Texas accent, which can be annoying to some I hear.

Sorry, but I can't differ accents :razz: perhaps IF then only british
accent from other ones, (since I've heard it many times, yes) but
nothing else... :razz: I think the woman from "Million Dollar Baby" spoke
with english accent..
