Can you speak another language?

Postby HardcoreLegend » Jul 09, '14, 3:35 am

Working in an Italian restaurant, I'm surrounded by different languages. There's a couple of Italians there who are learning English as they go along and are often relying on me to correct them when they are wrong. So in turn, I find myself picking up little phrases of Italian. Not enough to say I'm learning a new language though.

Anyone here able to speak in non other language?

I can't speak other languages but I can somewhat read Latin and French. Give me a book and I could get through it. Or even just a paragraph and I could give you the gist of what was written.

We should combine forces, between my Latin and French and your Spanish, we should have Italian down pat!

I wish I could. I used to be quite decent at French, but over the years I've lost it.

I can somewhat understand basic Croatian, and about 6 years ago I was able to have conversations with others in Italian. Last year I learned quite a bit of Spanish and could probably hold my own if we talk about intermediate things.

I'd be interested to know how the hell does one learn Croatian? Do you have family from Croatia or something? I mean it's awesome you know some but it so odd that you would :lol

I speak enough German and Spanish to be able to hold a simple conversation, but nothing really beyond that. I was able to communicate well enough when I was in Germany/Switzerland/Austria couple months ago, at least.
