i thought they spoke english in Ireland (with a different accent)

you learn something new every day (and forget something else)

Irish is the first official language of the Republic, but nearly everyone speaks English there. Most people only speak an cúpla focal, or the few words necessary to get by (for instance, everyone knows how to order a pint in the Gaeltacht ).

A better question would be, how many languages can you pull in? So far I'm "conversant" in English, French, and caveman.

I'd like to hear that someone on this board can get laid speaking only Klingon. He would be *my* guru.

"Hrvatski" is correct.

My Spanish is awful, my French is okay, my German is great, my Latin is decent, my Ancient Greek is pathetic. Those are all I'm working on any more; I'm leaving the rest to rot.

I can only speak, read, and write English. I don't know about all of you, but I figure that I can't be bothered to learn any other language.

Plus, I live in the greatest country in the world, and the language here is English. Why do I need to know any other languages?

I have a pretty decent Spanish vocabulary. The coolest thing is even though I did take 2 classes in high school, I practically forgot everything I knew. Until 8 years later when I get a crush on this Mexican girl at my job. OF course I didn't end up going out with her or anything (although I tried) but I did manage to teach myself a pretty good working knowladge of spanish and I can communicate with most of the Latin American people in their native language now.

Oh, I don't think any of us wonder about that...

Two language stories from last night.

I hung briefly with "dookie" last night -- that motherfvcker knows how to DRESS, people; he should write some tips. (EDIT: Dook, if you're reading this, that's a HINT, bro.) We were talking about the language thing, and something came up that I think I should share.

One of my most effective pick-ups is to take a fake phone call (make sure your phone is on silent ring when you do this) in another language -- say, Russian -- when I'm sitting with my back to a girl.

If that doesn't get her attention, I'll take another "call" a few minutes later, but this one in, say, French. (Or even English would work, just so that she knows you speak another language.)

Usually at that point, I've got her undivided attention.

This only works in a situation where there aren't many people around; she has to be able to hear you, and you can't make it sound obvious. Starbuck's on a slow afternoon is good for this.

Tale two: there was a guy at a bar last night who was telling a table full of girls that he was Russian, speaking in badly fractured English and an awesome accent -- girls LOVE accents, BTW -- and he had them in the palm of his hand.

Seeing an in, I went up to him and started up a conversation in Russian, and it turned out he was a fake. He quickly copped to it but he did so under his breath to me, leaning close so it looked like he was trying to be heard. Fortunately, the club was loud enough that the girls didn't hear. I didn't blow it for him; he had a good thing going, and the girls were impressed that I spoke Russian. It was an easy in, and we both benefitted. In return for not busting him, he invited me to sit down, and I had a table full of girls to hang with -- and a wingman for the night.

J'ai trouve le francais tres facile une fois que j'apprenais des verbes.

great story bullmoose

i did the badly fractured english thing on a bus going home from college.

I was with a mate who started to play along and there were these two girls near us. My mate started asking me questions about the subject of whether 'i was enjoying it in England' and 'what are russian girls like'
(i was pretending to be russian btw)

I said russian girls are the best in the world or something like that and then... sure as rain these b1tches (affectionate ) started with 'Hey! What about english girls?' and all that.

I was running the 'I've never been with english lady' thing and they frippin loved it!
Twas spiffingly good. pip pip cheerio

 

[misterethoughts]

Russian, English, Ukrainian

 

[sparky0000]

lol...Someone using Russian to pick up English girls. You must be kidding me. People never cease to amaze me.

I use English (loud annoying American English) to pick up girls that speak Russian. It goes along well with the nice Western passport that I like to sport around my neck when I go out to the hinterland.

I speak french and english. Would love to learn Spanish as it is close to french and wouldn't be too hard to pickup... wish i had a few spanish friends to make it alot easier. haha.

 

[afrogunso]

potah ang gagaling ninyo! hahaha! ang kaya ko lang eh english, german at tagalog....

Can't read any other languages, but I can pick up on things when someone's speaking in polish or ukrainian. I pissed off one of my co-workers and he told me in polish that he was going to crush my "eggs". I fvcking fell on the floor laughing my ass off!

I guess it sounds better in polish, kinda like how we refer to our d1ck as a wiener.
