KarateK Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Give me a few drinks and I come up with a whole new language! Karate Ni Sentinashi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardHangHong Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I'm fluent in 2 languages, English and Essex English! I used to be fluent in French and Creole (I'm half Mauritian/half English) but through lack of practice over the years I've lost a lot of it. I can generally understand people when they are speaking but I have very basic conversational skills. Funnily enough, I'm quite fluent once I've had a few drinks in me! Christmas last year my mum and I had an intense discussion with both of us speaking in French and we were both drunk as hell!I'm going to start taking lessons again next year when I have a bit more money.

KarateK Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I can count to ten in Japanese (obviously) French, Spanish and German - does that count? Karate Ni Sentinashi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardHangHong Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Oh yeah, my Japanese terminology in martial arts is pretty good too. As for having a conversation? I wouldn't last 10 seconds!
