Languages

are you welsh

[sesame]

RDelivery,
Not really.
If you count the languages I have spoken in,
then, I am all these:

1. Greek
2. Hebrew
3. Latin
4. English
5. Arabic
6. Spanish

Who am I?

In the Netherlands the kids must learn Dutch, English, French and German in school, I hear. I speak American. But after going to Europe, you really do look at your home country different when you get back.

Elucidate please.

What, Sesame ? Reads like Classical Greek to me. Maybe some Latin too ?

As these are not exactly developing languages, they're only part of my murky academic past. I am however stumblingly fluent in French. German - nice easy language to learn but I have not gone very far - no real incentive. But I think it's a good point : Europeans should have access to a Translator on this Forum, and feel free to use their native tongue in expressing their opinions. I for one would enjoy unravelling their contributions - as long as they are not in Basque or Languedoc or similar obscure dialects.

Anyway keep stretching this thread - it's an interesting one -

True. Those are the languages I'm -mostly- fluent in, and I can understand some Spanish, Catalán, Italian and Frisian.

Being Canadian, I was required to learn French in junior school, I've since forgotton all of it. I learned a little German in highschool, but not enough that I consider myself fluent.
