    Default Parlez-vous français?

    Do you speak a second or third language? And if so, what are they and do you speak them well?

    I speak French on a fairly basic level, and I am starting Arabic next semester.

    I speak a fair bit of Cantonese. Very few EoFFers have heard me speak it though. I'm thinking....two of them have.

    edit: oh yeah 3.

    I can speak basic Spanish. I used to be better, but I haven't used it regularly in many years.

    Can read and listen and understand decently Spanish, Portuguese, French Ukrainian and some Russian. Reading/understanding a language is much easier than speaking it because that's just a matter of practical experience - you gotta do it a lot or you'll never get good at it. Can't learn it from a book.

    As for being able to speak fluently it's just English, Dutch, Polish and some German (though the grammar is way off it's enough to make myself understandable in conversation). Planning to improve my Russian in the coming year.
    This twenty-year-old boy was distinguished from childhood by strange qualities, a dreamer and an eccentric. A girl fell in love with him, and he went and sold her to a brothel...

    Name a language and I'll speak it horribly. I can kind of read German, French, Cantonese, Japanese, and Tagalog. My dad is trying to teach us Tagalog because my Filipina mother is too lazy to learn on her own and my grandma won't teach us. My dad also tries to teach us German. I want to learn French better because of my cousin (formerly disowned by my uncle who now claims that was never the case because he wants to appear to be a better person, though who the f he's trying to convince is a mystery to us all). I used Pimsleur in an attempt to learn Catonese because I liked Cassandra from Wayne's World (though I later realized Tia Carrere was neither Cantonese nor spoke it fluently). I figured out that there's no going wrong with speaking Mandarin... if you learn it.

    Aside from what I know and don't know, I usually just use Google Translate so I come off sounding like a tourist instead of a compelte idiot.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
