Guest Report post Posted March 27, 2004 You talk Russian? You can talk American, can`t you? I can only speak one language, and that`s English. When I`m out at Graham`s and the mexicans that work out there start talkin and laughin and stuff, it kinda makes me mad, cause I`m sure they`re talkin about me. I`m gonna take Spanish in high school, so I will know for sure if they`re talkin about us. lol. Tight lines and good tyin!-redneck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mozes 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2004 You are correct. My post title should say "foreign languages". Speaking of spanish my wife is learning spanish. She is working down on the islands. She is a pilot and based in San Juan Puerto Rico. She is flying all over the carribian islands. Spanish comes in very handy down there . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SALMONATOR 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2004 Don't know any fluently, but I know enough Spanish to order a beer, get in a fight, or get laid in Tijuana. I used to know enough Tagalic (sp?) to order a beer or get laid in the Philippines. Unfortunately, I only know enough English anymore (it seems) to order a beer here in the states.

MIKE*A 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2004 I had umpteen years of French from elem-thru High School followed by 3 more years in college. Haven't used it since......I can still read French and if it is spoken slow enough, understand it. If I had it to do all over again, i would have taken Spanish......I could really use it at work now.......When i was a young kid (late 60's-early 70's) my father got stationed in Turkey and we lived off the base in a small Turkish town. My brother and i ran the streets all day with Turkish kids. we learned the spoken language pretty well(no reading/writing). any time we went anywhere w/our parents or other American adults, I was the translator......

Guest Report post Posted March 29, 2004 I had 5 years of German in HS and college, and I can fluently tell you, "I don't understand what you are saying, but I believe you are a little bit crazy." I figure with that, I can plead ignorance and put them on the defensive at the same time. I enjoy watching the Deutche news in the middle of the night, and after 20 + years, I am surprised by how well I can follow it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Airhead 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2004 I was Stationed in Korea for 2 years and married to a Korean for 9. I learned to read and speak Hangul very well. Years later, a couple dozen words, a few phrases, counting to 20 and a vague memory of the alphabet are all that come to mind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
