Cunning Linguist

[Yar]

It's reached the point where I need to speak Japanese to survive my daily life. I work at a Japanese company, major in Japanese at college, and I tutor 2 Japanese boys and their mother in English. Besides that, I spend a large amount of my social life associating with Nihon-jin. Keep in mind I live in Ohio. A large portion of the Japanese community in town knows who I am, and boy do I see them around town a lot.

Anyway, do you need to use 2 or more languages in your daily life? What are they? I wanna learn Spanish.

[Martyr]

I don't know Spanish and, after years of classes and study, I think I never shall.

However, I need to be able to communicate in some form of Spanish a few times a day, at least. So I piece what crappy anti-skills that I have together and try to make it happen.

Also, if you aren't a closed minded moron with a broken brain (like mine), then come down here, and you'll practically learn Spanish b default. A filthy mind doesn't hurt either.

I can cuss in a whole bunch of languages but I am not even close to being bilingual.

I can say my life would be a lot less interesting without the words schiesse (sp?)I and merde.

Also the title reminds me of Cabaret! Wilkommen, bienvenue, welcome...

I speak Swedish and English every day! Swedish is my native tongue, but most people in my social circle - including my girlfriend - don't speak Swedish (yet), so it wouldn't do to forget my English!

[Yar]

omg Rantz I had to analyze Swedish nouns for linguistics class and all I can say is I HATE SWEDISH Sorry if this offends you.

[Jiro]

I'd be better at languages if Australians weren't racist and believed learning foreign languages was useful.

Also the title reminded me of my trivia team, the Cunning Stunts. I didn't name us btw.

It's what languages do you have to use guys. Not, which languages do you know.

I only have to use english around here. Lucky me!

[Pike]

I wish I knew Spanish because it would increase my employ-ability by like 50%...

Anyways I just have to use English around here. Not because there aren't a bunch of Spanish speakers, because there are, but that's when you page for a Spanish speaking employee to come over and deal with it for you.

You guys would be amazed how many people speak Spanish and ONLY Spanish way up here by the Canadian border.

I can speak English and Estonian.

Utility of the latter is actually significantly less than zero because nobody knows Estonian. Who has ever had trouble at their jobs because they didn't have knowledge of Estonian or a colleague who does?

You forgot "some crazy language that is supposedly an Irish accent but that no one can actually understand so it had might as well be a different language"

:troll:

[Madame Adequate]

No it can be understood, just not by culturally blinkered Americans.

I do have to use Spanish quite often actually. a lot of people speak it where I live and I have had a couple tutoring clients whose parents spoke only Spanish.

My sister is taking Chinese in college now so I can help her practice her speaking when she needs it.
