Serbian
Bosnian
Croatian

Well, that's really Serbo-Croatian and English.

...& some French. Not nearly enough though.

*Melanie68* · 01-02-2006, 07:34 PM

English
Very small bits of German (most of it has left my brain from high school

)
A few words of Arabic (that doesn't really count though).

In order of how well I can speak it, first being best:

English
Finnish
French
Latin

My Latin is pretty much all gone. I've learned French three times so far, and I'll learn it a fourth time when I swear I'll visit Paris. My family is Finnish, so that's what I grew up around in the household.

***tabacco*** · 01-02-2006, 09:30 PM

English
English in a variety of silly accents
Some Spanish

Also, thanks to Firefly, I can sort of swear in Mandarin.

I speak Evil.

Spoiler:
I also hear Evil and see Evil.

Trying to learn Russian & Estonian. You Europeans have an unfair advantage over us Australians, though. We're just never given the need, motivation or desire to learn anything other than English.

UPtimist · 01-03-2006, 01:35 AM

Finnish
English
Swedish
German (though it's not the best at all...)

Hopefully some day I'll learn Italian... (Yeah, some day

)

Oh, and maybe, under some proper torture, a bit of german.

And I guess I can say some basic words in japanese, thanks to some past heavy anime watching. Like "mom", "dad", "bastard", "die", that kind of stuff.

Dasilva · 01-03-2006, 04:58 AM

I really want to learn Japanese. Pitty it probably won't happen, people say its etremely hard. Besides I already have 4 languages I need to maintain.
