Who speaks a 2nd or even 3+ different languages?


I'm bi-lingual. I speak spanish as well as english. I also speak portuguese but not very well.


Para que tengan un ejemplo de mi abilidad de hablar espanol, te doy esta frase. Cuantos de ustedes hablan otra idioma? Ojala que haya muchas personas aqui que pueden hablar espanol porque espanol sera' el idoma mas hablado en este pais en veinte an~os.

Pudds- Hola Amigo!

Shit, it's "de"? I thought it was burrito del pollo. No wonder I get odd looks.

del means "of the" de means "made of chicken" really in this context.


"Hi, i want a burrito of the chicken." Some guy WOULD give you a f-ed up lok.

Some chilean wimmins are cute. most of them are not.

I said: Shoot man, how is it that you don't speak spanish? I thought you were a ghetto dude. But, it's all good, get me/ya know?

Doesn't reallt have a whole lot of sense in english. It does, but it's just a cultural thing. Plus, I'm a little rusty on the slang. Probably screwed somthing up

I got it, flaite is ghetto? I read, I thought you were a ...

First line was easy. My vocab is suffering. I need to find a hot little latina.

The gas station down the road is owned by a latin couple and I always end up there trying to talk and learn for 20 minutes. lol.

I think and talk to myself in spanish. keep sthe skills honed.

yeah, flaite is a chilean term. chilean is some weird stuff. Mexicans have a hard time understanding chileans. That's how different it is.
 
I have four quarters of Spanish but my grandparents are both German...and I "get German" but I don't speak it...

How do you say I'm gonna shower then go play with my Wii in Spanish?

This is one way. you can change it a couple different ways, but this is pretty common.

Voy a ban~arme, y despues, jugar con mi wii.

the ~ is supposed to go over the "n" but I don't have that key.

French and English fluently and understand a lot of Italian but don't speak it well.
Here in Montreal, my Italian friends (second generation) still teach their kids Italian as their first language. I find Italian Americans and a lot of Italians outside of Quebec don't consider it as important.
 
I am barely fluent in English - and that is it.

I spoke enough French when I was in Africa to have about a 1st grade level conversation when I was really drunk.

I also speak enough Thai to converse with my caddie on the golf course or to direct a taxi driver to where I wanted to go. That is about it.

I have a goal to speak spanish soon but not making much headway there.

I thought french was second language in Lebanon.

It was like that a long time ago. Some consider to still be the truth. However, most new generation are learning english, because they finally realised that only francophone countries speak french, whereas english is the third most spoken language in the world, after mandarin and spanish.
 
i speak italian pretty fluent

also, I can understand portugese sort of (as well as any spanish derivative) - but cant much read it. I had a brazillian GF who used to talk smack about me to her friends on the phone when we were fighting - while I was in the room - thinking I didnt understand. surpise! lol -- its pretty close to italian.

ich Wille noch heiß Geschlecht mit ein wunderhübsch erwachsene Frau

I want to have hot sex with a beautiful women

That's not quite right. Geschlecht means 'gender' not 'to have sex'. Wunderhuebsch is an archaic word, not really used any more, but does mean beautiful. 'Erwachsene' means mature/grown up and 'Frau' means woman. BUT an 'Erwachsene Frau' means a woman of a certain age - think your mom or grandmother.

Ich will mit eine huebsche Frau geile sex machen. - Now THAT means 'I want to have hot sex with a beautiful woman.'

fikken - to fuck (Ich will dich fikken - I want to fuck you)
bumsen - to fuck (Gehen wir bumsen? - lets go fuck?)
leck mir am arsch - go fuck your self (literally - lick my ass)

Deutsch ist meine zweite sprache. Ich kann es sprechen, lesen, schreiben - bin flussig in Deutsch.

Nederlands is mij derde taal. Ik kan het niet zo goed spreken als duits maar begrijpen gaat niet slect.

Je parle une peu francais. Ou est le depot? (where is the train station?)

I speak three.
 
My ex-wife has the uncanny ability to pick up the local dialect after a day or two. She's a gifted wiminz with the languages.

My Hebrew is almost gone. :(

FYI. There is a gay bar in Paris called "Le Depot" hahahaha :p

mothers side from caserta (near naples)

fathers side right from rome

i grew up with my mother, aunts and grandparents who are all from caserta

my mom was 16 when she came here, it still amazes me how families of all cultures can pick up and move to start a better life - i never forget this sacrifice - mom had me when she was 26 (my age loololol @ the thought of me having a kid right now)

my uncle who was 14 when he came to america died within a year due to some type of cancer or rare lymph node disease - my fam still to this day doesn't understand what happened

I was in napoli last month. It is a pretty trashy town. So much garbage lying around everywhere. Literally 3 and 4 foot piles of garbage lying in the streets. It was horrible. Vesuvius and pompeii is pretty bad ass though. not far from napoli.

I started learning some italian, my good fratelo.

Started with corresponding with Dutch penpals, then progressed from there. Watching Dutch TV, talking to my Dutch friends on the phone, etc.

Cool - you must be a cunning linguist !!

I suck at languages. I lived in Thailand for 11 yrs and can barely keep a conversation going.

I think the Dutch are the greatest linguist in the world. They pick it up like it is nothing.

they were made of better stuff -- we're all spoiled rotten lol. My grandfather gave up everything over there to come to America with his kids. over there he was a local politician, the guy everybody came to for the answers. over here he had to shine shoes first 10 years and get called a wop. but he never regretted it.

Well they are exposed to foreign languages very heavily from very early childhood. That makes it all much easier you know. Dutch is a heck of a lot closer to english than Thai, give yourself credit. Moving from one Germanic language to another is a lot easier. A lotta similarities.

Thanks bro I haven't used German/Deutsch in about 8 years and was much better speaking and understanding than writing. Which was weird is I learned alot of different words in Germany than when i took a couple classes in college. The first things I learned while there was how to find the bahnhof, ordering beer and Ich will dich fikken. We use to put words together that they hadn't heard and piss them off such as Scheiße Kopf - Shithead

fuggin nonno. i love them all.

i watched my grandfather die 2 years ago. i held his hand in his final few minutes, i rubbed my fingers over his callused palms and smiled with tears in my eyes

he didn't have to talk back, but we still exchanged words that day

they were a different breed, they still do exist, but are far and few between. it's our responsibility as 1st and 2nd gen to pass down whatever tradition and teachings we can

so they didn't sacrifice in vain

heavy stuff i know, but just something to think about

i have his hat on my shelf, it still smells like him

I respect Italians bro and what they left to come here! I have always had a thing for Italian womenz and was married to one. Her Mawmaw was the best cook and use to send so much food home with me everytime I went there because she said she needed to fatten me up.

u could become the spanish elite mentor....lol


Not sure that's a good idea, lol. I'm kinda a jackass. I'd humbly take the appointment, but I wouldn't suggest myself as a mentor. I do have a good knowledge base I guess. Don't know a ton, but I know a lot more than the "Is this a good cycle?" guys that need the help.
