| Anyone here speak anything other than English? Which language(s)? I speak Spanish and Swahili (still learning that one). I also knew ASL but it's been 8 years so I've lost 95% of it. |

| The problem with Goggle translation is that it translates word for word, so sometimes the meaning gets lost or bent when translated. I guess you were trying to say: That's just nice! or something similar. But if I translate it back to English, it says: That was just now pretty! _________________  |

I'm sure your Spanish is a little bit to guite a bit diferent from mine. Where I'm from we have a very distinct type of Spanish not found outside of our area, people from other places that speak Spanish always try to say we don't speak proper Spanish.  |

Hey, manny, what's the "traditional" Spanish meal over there? Here it's beans, potatoes, green or red chile and tortillas. |

| I took German for four years of high school, but never continued with it after that. I kinda wish I had now. What little command I had of it is pretty much gone now. _________________ "Boys, set the terror level at code brown, 'cause I need to change my pants." -- President Hathaway, "Monsters vs. Aliens"

Rice, beans (black), chicken, or pork or beef. Sometimes they would cook a pasteles, the meal I described is a very traditional Pureto Rican meal. |

| I understand enough Spanish to get around and watch Telemundo. I have 4 years of Spanish training under my belt so I like to think I'm pretty good at it. I'm also taking German classes here at the Junior College. |

| I don't speak nothing but Engrish. And I don't even do that very goodly. Or is it gooder? My brother is a high-school Spanish teacher and he likes to call and leave me important messages in Spanish just to bust my stones. _________________ A legend in posting since February 1st, 2007

| I speak my native tongue Armenian and also understand a bit of Turkish since my parents speak it fluently. I used to understand Russian once when I was a young lad, but abandoned it for English. I took four years of Spanish and probably should have never stopped, I was getting good at it. My grandma speaks Arabic and I have relatives who speak Greek and others who speak Persian. I wish I knew them all. |
