Diego Santana de la Vega Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 How about the OP language, does that count? For example, the sentence, "My name is Christine" would be: "Mop yop nop a mop e i sop Cop hop rop i sop top i nop e." You put op at the end of the letters, excepts for the vowels. Nop o Wop a Yop Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a knife in your back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I used to speak a great deal of Русский, but I haven't used it in years. Same with my Français, and my Español. I think I can still do Beatnik... К моим русским друзьям, это было по-разному временем, и по-разному миром. Я хочу быть вашим другом. Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?

CaptainCiaran Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Nice thread. Christine's OP language cracked me up! Je parle francais un peu et tres lentement. And I can do a mean rendition of Shirley Ellis' The Name Game. "Let's do Rummy: Rummy, Rummy bo bummy, banana fanna fo fummy, fee fi mo mummy, Rummy!"

Cap'n Pete Straw Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 (1) English (2) American Sign Language (3) Spanish (4) Klingon (no, seriously) (5) Russian -- learned much but, by not keeping it up with it I have lost almost all of it, and must re-learn everything. When I drink heavily, my ability to speak Spanish increases... odd. ASL has become my Second Language, as I think in it. It is second nature, and seems more natural and easier to use than English... odder. "He's a Pirate dancer, He dances for money, Any old dollar will do...

Patrick Hand Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Interesting part o' it...... I can speek very little German...... If I want to order a Beer... got that.... or if I want to know if Peter is sailing.... hey... can ask that also... When I was stationed in Korea.... I learned Korean.... now all I can remember is to ask it that is a book......and how to say "your Mother has a........." funny how the dirty stuff sticks in your mind........ Klingon.... Ok I can say ...."that's not a knife" and "Your ship is a garbage scow"..... what little I learned... I have also forgotten.... My Spanish is pertty bad..... but last time I was in Mexico.... I knew enough to get by.......... and I've learned more since then....... (still can't spell in English tho....) It's just one of those use it or lose it kinda things...... (well not that bad.... but close....) I can kinda pick up just enough to get by........ then end up forgitting most of it.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Pete Straw Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 "Use it or lose it," yes, that is the problem. That's how I lost my knowledge of Russian, as I was only there a week... but I did fine while there. It does not really explain my command of the Klingon language, however, as I rarely need to use it when, for instance, Christmas Shopping.

CaptainCiaran Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 When I drink heavily, my ability to speak Spanish increases... odd. So does my French speaking. I think it has to do with losing inhabitions and the fear of screwing up. Although not a speaking language, many years ago I worked at the NC School for the Blind, so am still fairly proficient in the reading and writing of Braille. (Sighted people simply use their eyes to know the letters...I couldn't tell ye diddlysquat by running me fingers across the dots.)

Biker Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 2 years of latin, 4 years of spanish, and have been learning Arabic for the last 5 years. the latin I cant remember any of it, but it does help with figuring out what some words mean. The spanish, not so much though I can read it, can understand about 40% of what I read. Those were learned in jr high/high school. The Arabic is being taught ot me by my MIL.

hurricane Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 With enough tequila I can still speak pretty fluent Spanish. Straight A's for three years, top of class. Plus my teacher would have slept with me if that was allowed back then as it is today...

~Lady Pirate~ Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 My top 5 1. Dutch (for obvious reasons) 2. English (fluent) 3. German (fluent) 4. Spanish (for 1 year at school) 5. French (for 1 year at school) Like I wrote in my introduction topic, I plan on learning many languages in the years to come and will probably study English at university (taking the course: Cambridge Certificate for English Proficiency). A pirate by heart, a pirate in my soul I always steal whatever I need, no self-control I always long to sail my ship and explore the sea So you'd better beware me! Because Captain Pirate is near. And a girl too so fear Don't you dare to question me and I might let you live I fight and kill those without skill So surrender now...and bow!

Asukaru Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 English of course. What little Spanish I knew from High School and College (flunked it, both times) I've pretty much lost 'cepting a word here and there. I'm currently trying to learn Russian, but it's hard to find the time to sit and study - somehow I can read it better than I can speak it though...

~Lady Pirate~ Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Reading Russian is easy though. But speaking is even easier. Can't believe you flunked Spanish twice! I flunked French.

Asukaru Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Reading Russian is easy though. But speaking is even easier. Can't believe you flunked Spanish twice! Maybe - still makes my head hurt occasionally though :) Yup, didn't do good in Spanish twice. I did okay the first time around, I just didn't like the teacher and didn't agree with her policies so I never turned in my work. Second time around I just didn't study and froze every time the Prof. called on me. Then I was also trying to learn Russian at the same time, so I was getting a lot of words mixed up. I liked Russian more, so it took the priority over Spanish. Confessions of a Wicked Wench ~ Myspace! ~ Handlebars @ DeviantArt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
