I am a native American English speaker. I also took 4 years of high school Spanish and 2 semesters of college French. I am no longer even slightly fluent in either. I also know a smattering of Yupik Eskimo words and phrases. What do you know?
I can speak fluent redneckistanian as well as urbanian. Example: "Well, bout time take it on to the house" vs "I'm fittna bounce"
You're no longer fluent in English? I mean...sometimes I have a hard time understanding you, but I kept thinking that was just me.
Can ya speak Downeastah, or just the southern dialect of Beantownian? Used to speak Drunkenese. Can’t do that anymore. I’m also familiar with Cuntenese, in fact there was a lot of it spoken to me last night. It’s a dialect of Gaslightian, so you know it’s an Orwellian language.
If you wave your arms around and shout loudly Johnny Foreigner will eventually understand you. A word or two in Welsh, including this gem Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
Barely speak English anymore. used to be passable in German and a bit of French and could get the basics of Portuguese. Now, not. not a lick of Spanish. I just can’t “get it” much beyond Dos cervezas, por favor and no mas pantalones.
Learned some German at like 6-7 years old (Dad spoke it so Mom thought it'd be cool - don't ever remember him helping me a bit with it), Latin 7/8/9 grade plus two years summer school in it, French junior and senior years. Evelyne speaks it but we never ever actually practice. I was still truly surprised at how much I could understand in Germany and Luxembourg (French mainly there). Way more than expected - but not sure if it was the schooling, reading a ton, or speaking American with how much it's taken in of other languages.
I try to pickup as many words as I can in each of the countries I visit, except Asian countries. I can't even say HI in Thai and I've been there like a thousand times. Do a decent job of smashing Spanish, French and Italian. Trying to pick up more Italian. My ex wife married me because I claimed to know tagalog.
I know this girl at the track who has a pretty foul mouth and when she's pissed you know it. She says she's fluent in English and Cuntonese.
