PostPosted: Sun, 2nd Oct 2005 23:41    Post subject: Languages
If you could pick ten languages you would know fluently which would they be (you have to include your native language as default)?

Mine would be:

1. Swedish (native)
2. English
3. Arabic
4. Spanish
5. French
6. German
7. Chinese
8. Japanese
9. Russian
10. Italian

Runner ups are hindi, portugese and hebrew.

Another thought, do any of you guys (with another native language than english) think in english? I easily do 50% of my thinking in english but i think some of that has to do with my job where i read and translate alot of english as well as the fact that the classes i take in school mostly have english litterature.

if you could pick ten language you would know...

Wow you must be ...50???? You cannot be 70 Shocked Shocked

Javlar are you part of the dunedin??? (Aragorn son of Arathorn, dying race, but long lived)

I must confess I was angry/jealous/suprise when I read your first post...

3. Arabic
4. Spanish
5. French
6. German
7. Chinese
8. Japanese
9. Russian
10. Italian

How the hell can you speak Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian,Italian fluenty??? Not only are they hard to master but Russian and Japanese are so Friggin different from each other...

I can understand german/spanish and maybe french...but

3. Arabic
7. Chinese
8. Japanese
9. Russian
10. Italian

How the hell??? You must be like 50 or something, Japanese/Cantonese will take years to master alone... and you know 5 different grammar/languages....

Sorry no offense but you must be at least...50...

You did say
"fluently"


@_SiN_

Swedish
English
Japanese
Chinese
Latin
Spanish
Italian
German
French
The sign language

Once again... how is it possible you speak Latin/Japanese/Cantonese FLUENTLY????

@fisk

Old English (not the one with al the e:s in the end, the REAL old english)
Walesish
Irish (not the english dialect)
Icelandic
Finnish
Old Swedish
Mandarin
Greek
Latin

Old English/Walesish/Irish = Did you study at oxford university?

Icelandic
Finnish
Old Swedish (HOW/WHERE??!)

Fish how is it you speak those 3 languages fluently?

Latin?

You guys must be at least over 50...

My uncle who's a doctor doesn't speak latin fluently...

I really don't get it how you guys speak some of the languages mentioned "fluently" it's beyond my mind... really is...
