What languages are you literate in?

Post by Ken »

How many languages can you:
Speak?
Read?
Write?
What are they in order of usage?

Basically 2 for me, English & Spanish, although some Portuguese...

English and corral language.....

I'm VERY fluent in corral language and use it as well as english.
The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, and prejudices to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own for the children and the children yet unborn and the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone.

"I know noth-thing" -Sgt. Schultz.
I want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things; then I shall be one of those who make things beautiful. Amor fati: let that be my love henceforth! I do not want to wage war against what is ugly. I do not want to accuse; I do not even want to accuse those who accuse. Looking away shall be my only negation. And all in all and on the whole: some day I wish to be only a Yes-sayer.

Speak - German, English
Read - German, English
Write - German, and obviously English


I don't use my German as much as I'd like to neither reading nor writing...
I don't even speak German much anymore..that's only b/c I don't talk to my parents as much as I used to....
it's actually almost getting to a point where my English is getting better than my german...I don't like that but there's nothing I can do about it..

English & HTML

I can pronounce, read, write and partially understand Spanish based languages.

I can pronounce most all Germanic languages and Slovic languages, but have no clue anymore what I'm reading. Last studied German in 1969.
