Can anyone speak another language?

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

@electricbrain.. your profile says your canadian? how on earth did you go around learning cantonese?? they are like literally thousands of miles apart..
allow me to pride myself in possessing the most varied of languages (in my opinion-considering distances apart in origin)
i learnt: english(my most fluent)
korean (native-along with a bunch of other accents mixed)
chinese (mainly mandarin, quite a bit of hokkien, enough to know the other person's intentions towards me)
german (used to learn it until a couple of months ago, ich heisse kimk, ich komme aus sud. korea. ich bin viersehn jahre alt, ich liebe im malaysia. malaysia ist eine sud. osten nation)
lets see... um one more.. can't believe i don't know what i know..

oh yes
used to learn malay (nama saya kimk..)

and i'm still trying to figure out what 'fungul' means.. supposed to be some kinda swear word i think.. some indonesian friends of mine exchanged that alot.

Science is knowledge.
Knowledge is power.
Time is money.
power = work/time
therefore, knowledge= work/money
therefore, money = work/knowledge
therefore, money is inversely proportional to knowledge.

therefore,

The more knowledge you have, the less money you have.

EB is Chinese-Canadian.

And as I said, I'm a native Indonesian, and I have no idea what 'fungul' is. Must be some new slang them kids whipped up nowadays.

Well I speak a little of Japanese, and can read/write German, but really struggle with English

@FF, cool. native indo.. my dad used to work there.. but the Conc. site stopped . . but the word fungul is supposedly from french or italian origins.. just that the south-east asians tend to pick up swear words from all over the world pretty quickly.

I USED to know well French, English, German, and Russian, quite well - Spanish, Swedish, and Polish (my university was cool on languages). However, now that I don't use the majority of them, I've forgotten almost everything.

I don't have a drinking problem. I drink. I get drunk. I fall down. No problem.

german is a very hard language to understand

Post Mon May 12, 2003 5:53 pm

thanks for the posts Gyz i never knew that people could speak that many languages

Post Mon May 12, 2003 7:58 pm

I speak 2 semi-native langauges:

1. Canadian. The language I am most fluent in, with the largest vocab.
2. Chinese (Mandarin, not Cantonese). My birth language, although I am nowhere near as fluent as I am with Canadian, nor is my vocab that great. Fluent enough, though, to speak in almost any situation.

Post Mon May 12, 2003 8:44 pm

English is my native language.

I know a few phrases in Spanish and basic phrases in Gaelic. I can also count in Quenya. (Elven)

I guess that doesn't count

" Nama saya Kimk "

ha..ha..ha... that's cute. Malay language is easy to learn, and it is easier to read. You can actually learn to read it without understanding a single thing.

I just remembered I can read the Quran in arabic, but have no idea what they mean. Phatetic no..
