    LOL. FISH!

    hmm, I know a little bit of Japanese, which I want to know more, one word of Macedonian which translates as Chicken! And one or two words of French.

    I can count to ten in Japanese! And I know how to write my name in Japanese. I think it's my name anyways.....

    I used to be able to speak Bahasa Indonesian but then I just stopped using it.. same with German.. I know a little bit of Aboriginal slang, but yeah that's about it for me regarding languages.

    I know enough words from a couple of the aboriginal languages to know whats going on (if they talk slowly), but thats not fluent. Other than that, nothing.

    I took six years of german.

    I can understand (or t least get the point) for a lot of it, but as far as speaking goes, I'm regulated to a grammatically incorrect " hilfe, hilfe der andeckerman sind nach mir" (help, help, the lizard men are after me.

    gotta be prepared for the invasion of the lizard men!

    I lived in France for 18 months after my degree in French so am reasonably competent - though I am forgetting it all rapidly. And at other stages of my life I have learnt bits of Spanish and German (GCSE) and Italian (nightschool) and Latin (GCSE) though I wouldn't claim to speak any of these (certainly not the Latin!)

    De Mortuious nihil nisi bon oom.

    I think. Speak nothing but good of the dead. That's Latin! (and I'm sure it's spelt differently!)
