I know spanish from school, and english... well duh... and I know a bit of japanese and french from Junior University, and next week i'll start to learn italian in Junior University...

[*Riley*]

I think this thread is really interesting to see the many language of us BaO members.

I know German, Italian, French, Spanish and English ( haha )

German;
Hallo alle auf dieser wunderbaren Website! <Translation> Hello everybody on this wonderful site !

Spanish;
Hola a todos en este maravilloso sitio! <Translation> Hello everybody on this wonderful site !

Italian;
Ciao a tutti questo meraviglioso sito! <Translation> Hello everybody on this wonderful site !

French;
Bonjour tout le monde sur ce merveilleux site! <Translation> Hello everybody on this wonderful site !

There is your lesson for today, remember; study hard !

( See Fawkes I'm not dumb )

[Q.Araignee]

Ooo, reviving of an old thread I can answer in! Let's see, I can speak (to varying degrees) English, French, German, Italian, Latin, and for my elective module at university next year I'll be learning Russian. Which is a bit random I know, but 'tis good.

[DucksRMagical]

Wow, that's a lot of languages, Q! I can speak a bit of French, but I'm not very good at it. I took 4 years of French and hardly remember any of it. Well, I didn't learn a whole lot of it due to our DADA teacher-like curse of the French teachers at my high school.

Godric is better at French than I am and she's only taken 1 year.

[GodrictheGriffon]

Yes. I do rock at French. I'm hoping for an AP in it in a few years.

[FawkesthePhoenix]

ehh, i only know english and bits and pieces of french, hebrew (only prayers, though), yeitish (how do you spell that? im certain i spelled it wrong), and spanish. im taking french next year, though. im fluent in pig-latin, does that count?
(when did i say you were dumb riley? )

[*Riley*]

You didn't So now, Ciao Bella !

[DucksRMagical]

It's spelled Yiddish. I know a bit of that and Hebrew, too, but not much.

Iay amay uentflay inay igpay atinlay asay ellway. Iay ishway atthay itay ouldway ountcay orfay ethay oreignfay anguagelay equirementray atay ollegecay.

(For anyone who didn't understand that, I said. 'I am fluent in Pig Latin as well. I wish that it would count for the foreign language requirement at college.)

Buenos dias Senors/senoras/senoritas. Como estas? Me llammo es Keith. tu? mi cumpleanos es 29 y Noviembre 1995. tu?

[*Riley*]

What does that mean Keith ... It looks familiar!

[Q.Araignee]

I think it's roughly: Good day ladies and gentlemen (of all ages). How are you? My name is Keith, and you? My birthday is 29th November 1995, and you?

[*Riley*]

Thanks for translating !

I'm now fluent at Pig-Latin, It took me a mere 10 minutes to learn. It's awesome aswell !

[GodrictheGriffon]

I also no some phrases in Spanish most of them reffering to drugs and alcohol thanks to YKW, some random phrases in Hebrew, Yiddish, German (most of them bad ones), latin, and I used to know some Gaelic but forgot pretty much all of it.
