Just wondering if there are any other foreign Nationals or foreign language speakers.

Originally I'm American, lived in Germany and speak it fluently.

Lived in Tenerife. ... speak some Spanish.

Speak some Scottish. .. broad Fife still a wee bit difficult.

Nessarosa is a weegie (spelling) glaswegian.

Just wondering.

Hugs

I was once passingly good at French. My conversation was somewhat stilted, but it was conversation nonetheless. It has lapsed though

Whenever I go to other countries I try to cram just enough vocabulary in the few weeks beforehand to be able to be polite and to order food. Making an honest effort is appreciated in most places. I've found it leads to more friendliness and a lot of interesting conversations...

Well

As a genuine Nogg (Norwegian) I thing I might be a bit better in this language than the queens language. lol

To my luck the language spoken between the sheets seems to be bi lingual. lol

Also a bit German, very important to know durch gegen unter and zwischen when attending to CJ. lol

It's nice to see...

I get to use German and some Spanish when I'm up in the Highlands. Lot of tourists.

I would like to learn Galic.

Just difficult to read...and then have no real person to help with pronunciations.

Thanks to all for the answers.

Hugs

When we go up towards oban and Ullapool we have heard some of the locals speaking gaelic. ... that's why we would love to learn it. Its a beautiful language.

It is a wee shame....sometimes the young kids in the area around us sound more American than scottish. I guess it's to much American sitcoms and cartoons.

I like scottish. .. wonderful accent.

(Should I say bairns instead of kids...lol)

Born and bred a Weegie so only languages I speak are Bad, Gutteral, Pure Dead Brilliant.

Can get by in French, almost in Hungarian can order food in Spanish and studied Italian.

That's word "fine" sometimes followed with "then" is my 7 year old daughters favourite words at the minute. I really am dreading her teenage years.

Born in Scotland. Schoolboy French is about my limit.

Having said that I am a bit of a cunning linguist.
