What languages do you speak?

[Houndoc]

I know we have a diverse talent and skill set among the RME crowd.

Got me to wondering what all languages are spoken here.

Personally, I speak Korean, used to know Korean sign language but that one is long gone and currently using the Duolingo app to learn Swahili (probably won't know how well it is working until I get another chance to travel to Africa.)

How about y'all?

I speak a little Russian. It has been about 20 years, but I still understand a little and can read a little.

[I Lean]

I can read and usually translate Engrish.

 

[BlackSheep]

I have some skills in French. Working for a French company for 23 years kind of makes it necessary. I'm glad I learned, had some great times when I had opportunity to vacation over there.

Fluent in Engrish (I'm mostly able to communicate with Carl and Bryson)

My Spanish is still pretty good.

 

[Gravy]

I learned to speak Spanish maybe 90% fluently working at Burger King in the 90s LoL. I can read and write maybe okish still. Speaking: much much less than I used to. Weird how that went first.

[Unimog]

My Spanish is pretty rough. Takes a day or two on vacation for it to come back enough to chat.

I spoke a little German, once upon a time. I wasn't fluent, and it's mostly gone now.

This explains so much...

Dutch, but since I have little to no practice its rusty.

 

[TurboMinivan]

Back in my early 20s, I was fluent in American Sign Language and Italian. Both of those have slipped somewhat due to little usage in recent years, though.

What was really wild (to me, anyway) was when I would dream in ASL or Italian.

Same. I've retained most of what's close to english but the nuances are pretty much gone.

 

[johngottfredson]

Fluent in Spanish and Angry Sailor. 8th grade German, which post mission has a fun Spanish accent to it.

Fluent in ... Angry Sailor.

Your jib, sir--I like the cut of it.
