Just out of interest, are there any other languages/nationals present in our community. Just purely to see how diverse we are. I'm from Europe with French/German/minority language as my mother languages. :welcome:

Morning

I was born in the UK, but my parents came over here from India.

I speak Punjabi as well as English.

Paddy and Mandy, I wish I spoke another language. All I speak is English, and some pathetic high school French! I can count to ten in German and Spanish. Big whoop! LOL. Not very accomplished is your YAH....

I only learnt Punjabi as it was the language I spoke at home. It's never been any great use to me "outside".
Unless interpreting for my gran counts!!!

I'm afraid I only speak English..Like you Kathy, I can count to about 20 in German, oh, and I know how to order ein grosse bier, but won't be needing that anymore...My two favourite languages though are French and Italian, you could be telling someone they have dog poo on their shoe in either of those two languages and it would still sound romantic..

I'm from the Highlands of Scotland but don't speak very much Gealic - it was so uncool at school to do so but wish i did now that it is quite fashionable again.

Satori, I'm with you - I used to be able to speak a mean drunkenese. :toasted: :toasted: Crazy thing though, I think I am forgetting how to speak it now and I lay the blame squarely on my MWO friends.....

Tea and other Scots,
I encourage you to learn/speak the gaelic, otherwise it will die out. I wanted to learn it but there is no way I can do it from where I am. Bought a tape when I was in Scotland 10 yrs ago, but little help.
With migration changes here, the celtic element has just about died.....the New Years Highland gathering now attracts only a couple of hundred people, whereas 30 years ago, thousands would be there. Pipe bands are not as popular as they were, solo piping comps attract very few people, and you can just about count on your fingers the number of highland dancers. However, we do have 2 excellent fiddlers.........Bob McGuiness (who lives about 40 miles from me) and Chris Duncan... who I think toured Scotland last year.
Gosh, this ended up a bit of a rave, however if you hear of any correspondence courses where I could apply to learn gaelic, drop me a PM.
Thanks,
Fran

Fun thread,
I speak French and Greek (I worked in West Africa and in Greece) I speak Spanish and am learning Italian just now. Thankfully it is quite similar to Spanish and French and uses the same alphabet.

I think that's neat, so aside from being 'highly spirited' we also speak quite a few languages on this site, ha, ha. Ok, and AAthlete and Satori speak in tongues at times ...
