I like your honesty :)

I had no idea the Star Wars EU had grown to such an extent.

Anyway, ese chiste sobre Italiano y Castellano no era gracioso antes y no es gracioso ahora. Entonces, no sigas tratando, coño. I want to learn Italian because it's like Spanish but sounds prettier. None of that Arabic crap, I think. Che ne dici, Fabio?

I find any languages that are spoken outside of the western hemisphere, even if they're the same language, sound better.

I dislike the sound of Arabic, but love the sound of Hebrew. I'm such a Zionist.

My mom converted to Judaism not six months ago and she's in the process of learning Hebrew. I'm picking up little tidbits of it here and there, but I don't think it's a language I'd dedicate my time to learning in full.

I also can understand and speak (this a little) two italian dialects: Piedmontese and Venetian.

can you speak Vatican?

Seconded

1ST:- Arabic (Egyptian accent)
2ND:- English (American accent only (i hate the European accent))

Oh, I forgot Mando'a. I also know Mando'a.

I speak three languages. English obviously, which isn't technically my first, but I like to think it is. Second is danish, which is a horrendous language with so many things you just have to know and can't really learn or use rules for. Thirdly is german, which I like, but can only speak a bit of. I do speak about twenty words of spanish and maybe seven in italien.

That posrep is deserving of the original.

Russian please. I'm pretty sure enchilado or Josh can speak it too.

Well, I'm the only Russian speaker that's actually voted so far :D

I also speak rather poor French (it will improve with time and study, I suppose) and equally rather poor Dutch. The only thing I can say for myself is that I can read rather easily in both languages, but speaking is a different matter.

If I were not bogged down with other concerns, I'd definitely be learning Finnish (an amazingly sexy language, IMO), as well as Arabic, Hindi, and Hebrew, but there are only so many hours in a day, I'm going to have to save these ambitious linguistic pursuits for a later time.

I thought about learning Finnish not too long ago. Beautiful-sounding language indeed.

I recommend Rosetta Stone to anyone wanting to learn a language in their spare time who can't be arsed to shill for lessons.

Naturally, I'm telling you to pirate it as the software is like $600.

btw , for ppl trying to learn arabic , i remember sometime ago , i found some vids for learning arabic in the egyptian accent on youtube.

oh i fogot i can speak a litte bit of gaelic irish - tioch fair ar'la: Our Day Will Come

Hungarian as native language, then English (also studying English at university), and German, of which I'm attempting to do an intermediate language exam soon, it's needed for future studies. Also got acquainted with Latin through the first three years in high school (can't say I could use it in speech, but I remember a number of proverbs), and with Old English last term.

Is it true that 'Lo fos oh shegged ve' is the worst insult I can use to a Hungarian? Or was that just specific to my grandmother?

I think that's a common one, probably the equal of 'Up yours!' or its similar versions, but more elaborately detailed. And that last part is 'be' instead of 've'.

Then again, is there a 'worst insult' in English? Kinda subjective, I think.

Well, telling someone to go get fucked by a horse would be considered... fairly bad.

But entering the realms of cartoon violence.

Finnish, English and Swedish.

True, won't argue with that. I only meant whether can we name "the worst insult" in any language or not.

Either way folks, reserve the example mentioned by Nate for those people who you really want to insult.

Tell you what's an awesome foriegn phrase: Estonian for 'Twelve Months'.

'Kaks-teist kuud'

Like all well-traveled and learned Australians, I speak numerous only one language: English.

Alcar...

I can speak French (my mother tongue), English (of course :D), a little bit of German and some words of Japanese. And if this can be considered as a "language", then I also speak "Franc-Comtois" :happy:.

Mostly like French peoples but with some particularities that makes peoples from Paris goes like :fuzconf: :

- We always put "the" before someone's name :
"I just received an E-mail from the Claude. / I was on the phone with the Pascal"

- We tend to make fun of other peoples accent (from Paris, Marseille,etc...), even though we have our very own one:happy:

- We have tons of words and expressions for our beloved cheeses, sausages and wines as well. And also some for the weather...

- And in general, almost every "a" like in "car" is pronounced somewhere in the middle of "aw" in "awful" and "o" in "goal". That's our main characteristic. We get recognized because of this every time.

American or British pronunciation?

When an American tells me something is awful I tend to think they are talking about organ meat.

What you do to Valley girls when they piss you off? Awesome.

Or something.

Err...No idea...Let's try another one...more like "Odd" then ?

still american or british?

I'm still American, yes.

An American comes to Britain and declares "I'm well odd."

Punchline.

[Imitates TF2 Engineer] Dammit dagnabbit dagit nabit dammit ! OK, I quit :p

I'll say English pronunciation, even though I can figure the difference between the two possibilities

British say 'Oarful', Americans say 'Ahful'. Does that help?

All you people better have gotten my last post's wordplay.

Yes, I got that you were talking offal.

I say awful when I say awful. But that's because I SPEAK ENGLISH.

Good. I thought I'd made an idiot of myself. But if you get it, anyone can.

I made a word play, too! Unintentionally!

Dovresti proprio farlo, la mia stima per te salirebbe alle stelle Gab!!! You're the best! :)
