That said, I checked 1 and 2, since I'm nowhere near fluent in German, though 5 years of study should count for something. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

The Immortal BANNED Member # 4	written Friday, April 28 2006 12:15 Profile Homepage #26 Dude, "fluency" ain't exactly the measuring stick being used here. If it were, then nary a person would know any more than a single language. Hell, under those standards, one might argue that spy.there doesn't "speak" English, even though she's clearly functional with it. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 \| Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00

"I speak Hebrew, English, and a little Arabic. I want to learn Italian and Chinese." I didn't know you were female, radix malorum est cupiditas. If everyone spoke Hebrew, problems like that would be avoided.

Grain of Salt Infiltrator Member # 6652	written Friday, April 28 2006 12:41 Profile #28 A surprising amount of people speak nine languages, and an even more surprising amount speak no languages. :P I myself am an uncultured American fool, meaning I speak only English.

Well, which one was it, Macedonian or Greek? They're two completely different languages, after all. One great-grandparent was Macedonian and the other was Greek, it's kind of like when people speak to you combining two languages. Which, incidentally, is probably why I never learned either one fluently. Posts: 2032 \| Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00
