How many here are multilingual?

I’m a man of many tongues.

I’m a man of many tongues.

I'm a man of many wishes
My naval smells of rotting fishes

I’m a man of many tongues.

What about 'forked' ones? On the other hand I have failed with honours any attempts to learn a European language (I've only attempted those with Latin alphabets!) - French, Spanish, German, Italian. I'm currently trying to assimilate some Dutch but they are near all bilingual over there so it seems a pointless exercise! Within the last week I have downloaded an app on Lithuanian flashcards!

I think you either have a talent for languages or you don’t. I am useless with my hands for DIY work but can learn bits of Swedish easily.

I'll put up a shelf for you if you make me some meatballs.

Got to be brainy to know what mensa means

From memory, it merely means Table.

Romani ite domum (thank you, Brian).

I can get by with French, nowhere near fluently, but enough to make myself understood. That, and the OU dictionary by my side, helps me through most situations.

Also a relative fluency in ordering drinks in German and Spanish.

They built the wall because they couldn’t handle us. Two actually. Still looking for the Legion that completely disappeared. I’m not a historian, but I don’t think it ended well for the poor cunts.

The white walkers got them.

I scrape by in English.
