What languages do you speak?

[Windsor]

What languages do you speak? You may select several options provided you speak them...  :P

[Macrobug]

English at times   :teehee:
I can babble a bit in Arabic, French and Oji-Cree.  I can read a fair amount of French.

[cinrit]

English and gobble-de-gook.  I can read a bit of French, but can't speak it, and I used to speak Spanish fluently.  But, as they say, use it or lose it.  I lost most of the Spanish.

[Jenee]

English :)

[Lothwen]

I speak English fluently, and know some words in Spanish, French, German and ASL. 

[Jenee]

Ah, I also know a tiny bit of ASL... I can fingerspell, and I took a semester long class ages ago and remember a few signs. Not much to go on though!

[Lothwen]

^I know the sign for "bathroom" can fingerspell the alphabet, and can count to 10.  HA!

[Macrobug]

I know "airplane", "lady", "mister", "sleep" and "eat" and remember about 24/26 letters.  It has been over 20 years since I used ASL.  It's gone, gone, gone..... :no:

[Lindelle]

I speak English.

But I'm best known for my special language designed especially for the four men who have lived in my presence for the past 26 years.
It takes a special skill to decipher it and only the mere males in my home understand it.

It has sign language to go with it like as follows
:hug?: :hehe: :windsor: >( :nocomment: :random39: :cry: :ugh:

[wannable]

Fluent in English and Spanish, so and so in French.

[Scarlet Flowers]

I speak fluently in English and know a little bit of Spanish.

[WOW]

I know English and Lindellese ;)

[Lothwen]

^WOW, could you teach me Lindellese? Better yet, you should set up a class for it, where we all pay you in bribes to teach us how to speak that exclusive language?

[WOW]

Oh yes, great idea!! Why didn't i think of that earlier :hmm:  I'm running to the Lindellite thread to start my preparations  :devil:

[Lothwen]

And I'll be there with bribes.

[memememe]

English but a bit of Strine at times as well (colloquial Australian)

[Scarlet Flowers]

Colloquial Australian sounds interesting.  Is that a local or continental dialect?

[Lindelle]

I speak Strine as well memememe, but don't all Australians?

SF, strine in easy terms is trying to decipher how us Aussies speak.
I remember there was a thread somewhere here when i was writing phrases as we would SAY them like
'avagooweegen' means 'have a good weekend'

here's a short sample

^^ Cajun-speak is something like that.  "Jeet?" = "Did you eat?" :D

Cindy

[WOW]

Look Lindelle doesn't even speak her own language "Lindellese". Looks like I'm going to have to teach the Lindellites all by myself  :devil:

[Lindelle]

^^ Cajun-speak is something like that.  "Jeet?" = "Did you eat?" :D

Cindy

YES!

Look Lindelle doesn't even speak her own language "Lindellese". Looks like I'm going to have to teach the Lindellites all by myself  :devil:

They do say I speak rather posh.

[Scarlet Flowers]

Cindy

It appears to be a shortened version.  It may take some time getting used to. :thumbsup:

[cinrit]

^^ Yep, that's exactly what it is.  I don't understand most of it.  Well, I don't even understand Cajun accents much, so no big surprise. :P

Cindy

[Scarlet Flowers]

Is it the French or Spanish accent that isn't understandable?

[cinrit]

Cajun language is French, but not the same French as you'd hear in France.  They're similar, but not the same.  Strangely enough, I can understand French accents, but not Cajun accents.
