I'd love to learn French as well

I wish I hadn't refused to speak Greenlandic when we moved to Denmark

It'd have been awesome if I could speak Greenlandic

ahh but the diffrence is some words means multiple things in some languages.

like "ball"
can mean
bouncy ball
or prom

while in hebrew the word for ball
is ball , bullet , and medicine tablet

xCrazyInsanity · 8th Feb 2010, 05:32 PM

I know that...
which is why i said "is what google translate gave me"
Cuz, let's face it, online translators SUCK

English and French fluently. I can get by in Spanish. I can understand a lot of Italian and German. I taught myself a bit of Nepali so I could be polite when I travelled there.

Google Translate is actually pretty impressive, compared to most of the other ones. The translator widget in Google Wave kinda blew my mind. (But no, it's still not perfect.)

Johneh · 9th Feb 2010, 07:01 AM

Google Translate isn't impressive at all in my opinion. The things never make any sense when you translate something from Danish. At all.

Steve · 9th Feb 2010, 10:47 AM

i use google translator at weork all the time, i like how you dont need to click translate nd how you have the auto detect language< which is why i use it .

endless poetry · 9th Feb 2010, 01:12 PM

I was born with English, French, Cantonese, Mandarin and Taiwanese...

while I'm learning Japanese in a serious course

and Irish Gaelic on-line (doesn't really count cuz I can't really make sentences :S) and hopefully I get into U of Toronto so I can actually take an Irish course...

and languages like Portuguese Finnish or Dutch in songs (yay Eurovision)

errm... currently I'm writing my notes in Inuktitut and Cyrillic so I only need to learn the language(s) itself when I get the chance and not how to read and write it ^^
