Foreign Languages?

Do any of us speak any other language other than our own?


My accent changes when I am in parts of London, but that is about all.

I rely on talking SLOWLY AND LOUDLY to hopefully be understood!

(Why do some of us do that)!!

Re: Foreign Languages?

What do you mean by:"other then our own" ?
If you are referring to your brand of english-then I can be at a loss there.
Of course Scottish English throws me for a loop at times too.
As for American English- I speak it the way they used to teach it & only know enough Spanish to get my butt in trouble.
God bless spell check!!!!!

Re: Foreign Languages?

I speak with an accent similar to Fred Dibnah which he copied off me.

I can speak any language apart from Greek, the trouble is they all sound like Greek to me.


Does sign language count?

Re: Foreign Languages?

I don't speak any foreign language, I can just about remember a few words of French and Latin that I learnt at school...

Re: Foreign Languages?

Had 3 years of Spanish in school/college, but very rusty from disuse. Also had 2 years of Latin, one each of classic Greek and German just for the fun of it ... I like languages.
