I wish I did.
Why should I when English is the world language.....
yes, English. It's America's 2nd language isn't it ?
YES English and SARCASM (International language)
Pig Latin & Gutter Spanish
English and Spanish fluently.
I don't have to, I'm a telepath.
English, Spanish and Italian, but I'm edumacated.
English and Russian.
My point to this survey question is, most of us had to take a language while we attended school.
I wondered just how many of us retained what we had been taught, OR WAS IT A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND EDUCATION?
English, fluently.
First language English; second language English, very fluently.
Not a waste of time or education, Joe. Even if you don't travel like my uncle does, where knowing even a little of the language puts you in good graces for business and services, studies have shown that courses like music, art and languages increase your brain power, memory, creativity, etc. I never made it to Carnegie Hall, but I'm glad I learned an instrument when in school. I am actually in the process of picking it back up and a friend has offered to have me play gigs with him.
It's what you do with what you learn.
Kind of, I took German in school, after all it is the sister language of English, so it was pretty easy. Now, I only remember rudimentary elements of it. Don't use it, you loose it.
I'm fluent in dunkenese
Took French in high school, couldn't pass the last quarter, even twice. Teacher gave up and gave me a "D"!
So, no, but I do know, "Voulez vouse couchez avec mois, se soir?"
So, all was not lost. Oh, and I know what a cravate is.
Took and learned French, but lost everything because I didn't use them
Four years of Spanish. Unfortunately, it was old world Spanish (Castilian?)and bears little resemblance to the Spanish that I hear spoken by half the population.
I speak English and Jibberish.
