Re: if you could speak another langauge what would it be and why?
You mean fluently? Every major language in the world. I dunno, maybe it's just me - my appetite for language and culture is insatiable and I haven't learned languages for 2 years. The only issue is that sometimes I get 'confused' as I sometimes code switch (using different languages or dialects in the same sentence - very common in bilingual speakers).
Re: if you could speak another langauge what would it be and why?
I can speak Australian English, Aboriginal English, American English, Ocker (Australian slang) and I can read and write typo. I think that makes me multilingual enough. rofl.
If I wanted to keep up with my bf I'd have to speak English, French, Spanish, Hungarian and Italian. I think I'd rather learn Japanese. LOL
Re: if you could speak another langauge what would it be and why?
Definitely Icelandic
Then I could tell exactly what my SIL and her family make of us all. LOL I could also understand my nephew and niece when they haven't learnt the English equivalent of what they are trying to say or sing
Re: if you could speak another langauge what would it be and why?
I would love to know German. Apparently, word order is not an issue in German. You can say "red ball big" instead of "big red ball" and people will still understand you.
I'd also like to speak Spanish. I took Spanish for 2 years in college and can read, somewhat write and understand it but I can't speak it! DOH!
