Title: What Languages do You Speak IRL? Post by: Jack Sinist (•̪●) on April 05, 2007, 10:54:00 am I'm mostly curious, but it's also very informative in case we get a member who isn't very knowledgable in English.
So just post what languages you speak, they don't have to be perfect, but at least so that you can communicate in it. I can speak Swedish (My mother tongue) and English pretty much fluently. I know a few German words but who doesn't. :P edit: If you speak several languages, post the one that you know best, mother tongue or such. Title: Re: What Languages do You Speak IRL? Post by: qom_riyadh on April 05, 2007, 10:56:52 am - Polish (mother tongue)
- English - German (very, very basic) and - PHP - HTML - SQL - C++ - Pascal (nobody said "human languages only" eh?) Title: Re: What Languages do You Speak IRL? Post by: Raiden Morana on April 05, 2007, 10:59:27 am I'm a heathen I know... Only English I'm afraid.

Title: Re: What Languages do You Speak IRL? Post by: Samuel West on April 13, 2007, 06:25:11 pm Be English! Now!!
Title: Re: What Languages do You Speak IRL? Post by: Khaelieth on April 13, 2007, 11:22:16 pm Be English! Now!! Pfffft. English don't pronounce "R" properly, I hate O2's customer service with their patronising oh-so-English voices. Title: Re: What Languages do You Speak IRL? Post by: Jack Sinist (•̪●) on April 15, 2007, 03:48:52 pm English Icelandic Danish French Spanish German Chinese Japanese Portugese Latin All fluent except latin is basic.. That's amazing. You have now risen to the rank of "Neo Viking". Cool stuff, I shall adress you with any language concerns that I may have. Title: Re: What Languages do You Speak IRL? Post by: Jack Sinist (•̪●) on April 30, 2007, 10:59:55 am Would it be okay if I made a list of different languages and who could speak what. Which would help when finding new mentors etc. And people would easier be able to spot people they could more easily communicate with if they have a problem, which is perhaps hard to explain in details in English.
Any objections to this? If not people can just shout at me if they don't want theirs on and I'll remove it. Title: Re: What Languages do You Speak IRL? Post by: Moraine DiGoraz on April 30, 2007, 06:26:01 pm That's cool with me.
I tend to keep everything in English though. Even when talking to Grief or Arkay, we tend to start our talks or shift then halfway to English for some reason. Title: Re: What Languages do You Speak IRL? Post by: Garak Nightchill on May 01, 2007, 01:07:44 am English
Glaswegian (English dialect) :p Title: Re: What Languages do You Speak IRL? Post by: Kelly Sanderson on May 07, 2007, 11:28:34 pm After all this, I feel so dumb to say that I only know English (Or the Yorkshire version of it as Raiden said). I tried french up to when I was 14 and I learnt nothing. Still goes in one ear and straight out of the other. I can't even talk any nerd speak :(
