Quel autre langue pouvez vous parler?

[Loulabelle]

My French is very rusty (as you can probably see!) but a rant I had on another thread made me wonder how many other languages are spoken by the people of Pixies around the world.

Please, in this thread, speak your own language or your second/third language to me....let's celebrate our cultural diversity.....I'd love to see how many different languages we can gather here.


D'accord? Bien. On va commencer?

[WildIrish]

J'ai étudié le français pendant quatre années.

[gekkogecko]

Entsculdigen Sie mir bitte, aber ich spreche keine Französisch.

[Neige]

Ma première langue est le français (plusse spécifiquemaon in dialecte acadjonne <-oh yeah try and figure that one out ;)) pero puedo hablar un poco de espanol. (But that last bit might be completely wrong because I haven't practised in forever!)

[Lilith]

I speak only one language although I can pick my way through understanding some Spanish. I can usually tell if the kids are cursing :D

Yay Acadian sexy woman! :) How do the Montrealers react to your accent? Do they say anything?

I proofread/edit French now but I'm much slower than my university days. There's not much French spoken in Toronto.

[Neige]

Steph, they all think I am an anglophone because I need to force myself to speak standard French, otherwise they really really don't understand a word I say... As soon as I say a word they switch to English. It pisses me off, so I tell them I am francophone and ask why they speak to me in English (I mean, come on, I speak French a lot better than most speak English). Usually they will turn back to French but some refuse - it's like, hello!!!! That's pretty much the only complaint I have about Montréal though :D

[Steph]

LOL I wondered! Being an East Coaster, I'm well aware of the looks the Quebecois give someone with a bit of an accent in their French. They'd switch to English with me, too.

Sorry for the 'bonjour, Jacques' but it's fitting here! :D

[Neige]

Yeah, luckily I am doing studies in anthropology so most people in my department are only curious to know where I come from and why the hell do I talk like that??? So it's not as bad as if I were studying, say, French or something. :D

[sodaklostsoul]

[Loulabelle]

I have no idea what you said, but I loved that you said it!

I wish I could remember more Welsh but unfortunately, I've forgotten it since my university days....and I certainly can't remember how to spell it!

[lizzardbits]

ewigod hon ddisgwyl dde , Loulabelle?

[Loulabelle]

Told you I was rusty! LOL....that's the only thing I can remember, and I've forgotten how to spell it!

[LixyChick]

Pa. Dutch is derived from German...but I don't speak either very well at all! Schwenkfelder is a slang high German...but again, I suck at that too!

[BIBI]

It's all Dutch to me....

[lizzardbits]

d'wi ddim yn deall Sorry about your heartburn Yucky- i hate heartburn...that's not the kind of heart that you want on Valentine's Day!

[bare4you]

I recently had one of my subordinates put down on his contact information form that he speaks ebonics as a second language (smart ass)

The more intoxicated I get, the more Japanese I speak....that must be why I only drink Japanese beer (ah the memories)

[scotzoidman]

Y'all best bring back my hosepipe fore I hafta whup somebody's ayuss...


Sorry, Southern is the closest I have to a 2nd language...

[Eros]

I'm with Scotz...Redneck is the only 2nd language I speak.
