What's your language, other than English?

[Texas Star]

I got curious about our non-US members, and I don't mean LVSteve, who lives here now, and spoke English, anyway. He IS/was English!

What's your frst language, if other than English?

I know we have Brazilians, a Finn, a Swede or two, a Norwegian, a Swissman , and who else that speaks a different tongue at home? One member (if she's still here) is a Scot who lives in Spain, and speaks Spanish, so I guess she sort of qualifies, as does the Canadian ice cream man in Mexico. We also have a few Mexican nationals.

Has anyone heard from Anlaispierre recently? (British; lives in France.)

Fluent in Spanish after living in Guatemala working for Habitat for Humanity for two years.

Oops yeah English is my first language.

Vulgar, sometimes up to the level of merely crude.

My native language is Southern, and I'm fluent in all dialects but Cajun, but at home I choose to speak my adopted language, Klingon.

English here is a foreign language.

I used to put English on my applications but no one got the joke.

Damn.

 

[DeathGrip]

Let me ad that many jobs here REQUIRE that you speak Spanish.

I thought English of sorts was the common language in the USA.

Damn.

Damn.

I can imagine living in that area...I use to live in Boca Raton off of Glades Avenue over by the medical center I quite seldom visited Ft. Lauderdale area and the language your describing is like that here where I live in Tampa.

Canadian French, although my comprehension has slipped a bit since High School many years ago. I can still trick native French Canadiens into thinking I'm a fluent speaker with my pronunciation. Must've been the many evenings spent in my youth listening to distant broadcasts of Montréal Canadiens hockey games .

'Merican.

(This post is too short; hence I have provided this long, meandering and erstwhile superfluous sentence which might extrapolate on the finer points of speaking in the language of a free man in a free country, unaffiliated and unbowing to either king or dictator, abiding by common rule of law, set forth in one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all -- should I choose to extrapolate. Yet, I shan't. Some things don't need extrapolation.)

Like I said, I speak 'Merican.

As the mood hits me, I'll sometimes be found speaking in tongues.

On occasion, I've been accused of speaking "Noo Yawkeeze", although I have always endeavored to speak the King's English. When some good-intentioned country folk tell me I sound like New Yorker, I simply reply, "Fuhgeddaboudit."

 

[billwill]

English most of the time....It is hard enough trying to get that one right.

I do not speak or understand whatever language that women use...don't ask for any references on that one, we have a word count limit on a post here.

I can speak like Donald Duck. Grandkids like it.

I should have known better than to ask a serious question here.
