  1. 1stly let's get the Barney jokes out of the way.............He is the ONLY one fluent in Barnese. etc etc etc.

    So are you a cunning linguist or do you just shout louder and speak slower in the time honoured British fashion?

    Personally, I can read a French newspaper but lack the confidence to speak French openly, other than that it's schoolboy German.

    none i struggle with english although i'm fairly good at understanding yam yam.
    did spanish at school for 3 years and can muddle through a bit of reading it but can't really speak it much, i was too busy arsing about.
    english is the language of kings, why bother.
     
  3. I can speak English, surely I don't need another languageo_O

    I used to be reasonable at French because we regularly used to go there to a friends house but I'm totally out of practice. Now it's like a foreign language to me!

  8. My Norwegian friends say that The Swedish sound to them, like the Irish do to the English. Nearly correct but not quite.

    English still learning, conversational French and very basic French Creole.
    I believe French Canadians also sound "Irish" as they speak in an old French dialect.
