Again?

Okay, well, I speak English fluently and some broken Chinese (mainly with my parents). I can sorta speak small bits of German and Spanish. I wouldn't consider myself fluent in either of those languages, so I picked two.

Not happy with the poll questions or options? Then let's see you do better, really! Suggest a poll!

er, sorry. reflex. :)
ChrisChin is Getting Old Back · 19 years, 10 months ago
well I have, but Josh just doesn't like my polls, I guess.
Andrea Krause Back · 19 years, 10 months ago
He just doesn't like you. Your sweet ass is competition for his. :)
ChrisChin is Getting Old Back · 19 years, 10 months ago
nah..Josh's sweet ass is so much more sweeter than mine. mmmmmm..josh's sweet ass.
goovie is married! Back · 19 years, 10 months ago
mmm...chris's sweet ass.
Bender Back · 19 years, 10 months ago
which chinese dialect?
ChrisChin is Getting Old Back · 19 years, 10 months ago
primarily Cantonese with some bastardizations here and there. Some people who speak that dialect can understand me, others are like "huh?"
Bender Back · 19 years, 10 months ago
I'm learning Mandarin.

I keep making retarded mistakes like saying, "I'm very cloth."
sheryls Back · 19 years, 10 months ago
in japanese the words for "hate" and "beautiful" are really, really close. so you could mean to tell someone they are beautiful, and instead tell them how hateful they are :P
caroline: tired. Back · 19 years, 10 months ago
What I learned in french today-
p�cheur = fisherman
p�cheur = peach tree
uhm....yeah. so you could be like "my dad's a peach tree" or "i'm going to go cut down that fisherman."
the french are weirdos.
nitsita Back · 19 years, 10 months ago

..um.

peach tree is p�cher...

but yes. we're weirdos

caroline: tired. Back · 19 years, 10 months ago
blame my french teacher, then. she can't actually speak french, i don't think. maybe she's making it up. :P
sheryls Back · 19 years, 9 months ago

"Caroline-chan wa kirei desu!" - "Caroline is beautiful!"

"Caroline-chan wa kirai desu!" - "I hate Caroline!"

caroline: tired. Back · 19 years, 9 months ago
I've heard both. In english, that is. :)

and...wow. that took about 5 times to see the difference.
lawrence Back · 19 years, 9 months ago
"Caroline-chan wa kirai desu!" - "I hate Caroline!"

Actually, doesn't that say 'Caroline is hate'?

'I hate Caroline' would be 'Caroline-chan o kiramasu.'

lovely that we've picked such pleasant verbs to demonstrate this confusion. :)
A girl named Becca Back · 19 years, 9 months ago
Doesn't mean peach tree, as Nitsa said, but if I remember correctly it does mean "sinner."

Fishermen are apparently evil in France.
lawrence · 19 years, 10 months ago
If you interpret 'speak' literally, I suppose some might be able to answer 0, but in the broader sense of the term, anyone able to answer the question cannot possibly answer 0.
Jºnªthªn Back · 19 years, 10 months ago
I did, so there. Truthfully answer... no. Possibly answer... yes.
Gordondon son of Ethelred Back · 19 years, 10 months ago
I'm not sure I put in 0 as an option. I think that Josh might have added it. I know I didn't mean to. I thought of saying "foreign languages" in which case it would have made sense.
tom · 19 years, 10 months ago
I can speak english in a formal setting(like school), but In conversation I kinda speak a mumbled version of english with odd phrasing and the occasional new word.

And since a couple of my friends said it took them a couple of months to understand what I'm saying, I guess that counts as another language-
Starfox · 19 years, 10 months ago
English, bad English, the Queen's english.

Spanish functionally.

Pigdin german.

Then there are the computer languages.

oesday igpay atinlay ountcay? Ifyay osay, Iyay amyay ullyfay uentflay.
sheryls · 19 years, 10 months ago
i've learned 4 other languages but i cant speak any of them to save my life. i can say a few functional things in russian and japanese, probably get around with spanish and if i really dig deep i can come up with a few hebrew phrases.

unfortunately, due to my lack of fluency in any of them, in order to answer truthfully i had to choose "one" :P
caroline: tired. · 19 years, 10 months ago
I speak english. I'm learning french, but i can't say more than "my name is caroline." and various foods, sports, and the weather. oh, and i know things at the airport too. like a boarding pass.

if pig latin counts, then yes to that, and partial ubbi dubbi.
Cali Back · 19 years, 9 months ago
i speak english and french too. and ubbi dubbi is awesome. i didnt know many other people knew it. haha
caroline: tired. Back · 19 years, 9 months ago

siobhan's a londoner · 19 years, 10 months ago
I speak English, I used to speak German to the level of a three year old and I'm learnig Icelandic with Fil so we can make people think we are talking about them behind their backs. You know we look at someone pointedly whilst talking about the weather or just repeatedly saying hello in ahocked voice
"Komdu Saell?" (hello in masculine form)
"Komdu Saell!" (see above)
"Jaeja!" (wow)
Zach · 19 years, 10 months ago
I am fluent in over six million forms of communication, and can readily...

Um, nevermind.
goovie is married! · 19 years, 10 months ago
english, and some french and spanish, and a very little bit of italian.

I'm seeing that on Saturday
A girl named Becca Back · 19 years, 9 months ago
I'm not!
Prinut · 19 years, 9 months ago
I can pretty much speak English, some basic French, and I can completely understand Marathi when spoken to me, and can answer with some basic words.
A girl named Becca · 19 years, 9 months ago
English, French, Spanish, and German (in order of my learning them). Though in some cases I have trouble separating the 4 and actually only speak 1 language that is some combination of them. I thought about including Java but I don't "speak" it and, in any case, I'm by no means fluent. :)

Also, if all goes according to plan this summer (i.e. if I pass the necessary tests and such), I will be teaching Spanish in the fall. How creepy is that?
