Yikes

Scots (I guess)

I'm also learning Gaelic and know a little bit of French from school, but it's more reading than speaking.

You’re honestly just trolling now.

I know a little german

English is my native language
I also speak Portuguese

I used to know conversational German but I lost competency because I haven't used it in a very long time.

I can do some basic counting in German, along with a few other words.

I'm certainly not fluid though.:joker:

The Arabic came from my dad’s parents who lived in the Maronite community of Cyprus for most of their lives and brought it over to teach me (which took forever mind). Unfortunately, my dads parents are no longer with us so hopefully I can continue that legacy of teaching my future kids what I learnt :love:
...what a wonderful heritage, Sherzy...and I’m sure that you will continue the legacy of teaching with your own family...:love:..

I have a home in Spain so I need to speak some Spanish as many people particular in service industries do not speak English :nono:

I think a second language should be compulsory on schools, and that kids should be fluent when they leave

Is Gaelic not the same as Scots? I know I asked this before but I find it a bit confusing. Like when I say I speak Irish, I mean Gaelic (Irish Gaelic probably don't know if Scottish Gaelic is different or not)

That's not really a language though is it? It's just typing in an accent

yes i think he was being somewhat ironic



My English Uni pal (from Surrey) used to call our Scottish cleaner Ken Offay (in fact we all did)

as that was the only 2 words he could understand as she cleaned around him each day

Ken and in "you know" and Offay as in "awful"

"Ken that lad doon in number 2 well he wi offay drunk yistirday an he shat ah ooer ra bed" an am no cleanin that mess whit an offay stink ye ken"

I suppose it's almost a different language, love the Scottish accent though

German (because of me watching a lot of german tv shows lately, and i went online for some english to german, dutch to german words, sentences to understand it better)

English (duh, i had a 10 at school for that subject once :flutter: )

Greek (i had a teacher from Greece who gave me greek language lessons in lunch breaks, because greek language isn't a subject at school, and it was handy since at that time that was before i went to Greece for first time :thumbs: )
