Simple topic here,

besides English, what languages can you speak?

I'm pretty fluent in French, as a kid I went to Lac du Bois at Concordia Language Villages every summer, and spent a year abroad in France in college.

I can do accents, such as South African and a good Deep South one, if that's any good...

I did French but can't really remeber much. I wasn't fluent at it though, on one holiday there a French kid was trying to talk to me and I tried to say "I don't speak French" which I realised shortly after came out as "I don't like the French".

Have Spanish linguaphone but I had difficulty getting past disk 1 (or 20 :shock:) I also have a Klingon dictionary and a couple of tapes teaching how to speak it but I only remember a couple of words and an insult.

A few TM members are far more talented than they will admit, as you will find that they are absolutely fluent in Utter B*ll*cks.
