How Many Languages Do You Sprechen?

I know some of you type as though you barely speak English, but do any of you guys (and Gals) speak other languages?

And if so which?

You bring the forum down several notches. I realize, as usual, that this is a public forum and that anyone can join and spew their nonsense all over the place...
I just wish there were more competent professionals joining and less ass clowns. It would elevate the conversations.

Re: How Many Languages Do You Sprechen?

French was my first language, English gives me a little trouble now and then as in when my thoughts come out a little backwards. My wife thinks its funny.

Re: How Many Languages Do You Sprechen?

I speak more then one. The others only matter when I go to those countries to speak to them. English is the only one that matters here. So far, I've been to quite a few countries in the world and the only language I needed to know to get by was English. Hmm, I wonder why?

I speak American english and Carpentereze. I failed spanish in HS. At the time no one in S. Jersey spoke it except my teacher and "her" gender was always a topic of discussion.

Many know a few swear words in foreign languages. Does that count?
