I grew up speaking English and Japanese, then took 6 years of German and two years of American Sign Language. The only thing I know now is a moderate grade of English and some 1998 HTML. Edit: The reason is that I didn't have anyone to practice with. I can recognize a tooooon of languages quickly (written and heard) but I probably couldn't get from the airport to my hotel in Tokyo if my life depended on it. They say it is easy to pick up again and maybe that is true but all I can manage to do is scribble out some Japanese characters that make a little sense.

When I got out of the anal recovery wing of the Geonosian hospital after my indentured servitude to Poggle the Lesser, I was abducted by an upside-down ice cream cone with fangs that took me to a magical, wonderful biscuit-world where everyone communicating in throat-scathing screeches. You'd be walking down the street, oiling your own toothpick and someone would go like "EEEEEEEEEEEEGHH EEEEEEEEEEGH!! And you'd be like "EEEEEEGH EEE EEGH EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGH!!" It's a beautiful language. Basically the goal is to be as loud and high-pitched as possible, and each letter is spoken individually. The most used letters are the high-pitched screeches that go on the longest. They use a lot of abbreviations, though, like in the exchange I posted above. I highly recommend everyone here practise it immediately by suddenly screeching for as long as they can after reading this. Thank you? Thank you.

I just really wish I had started taking Spanish instead of French. Spanish I could have actually used. French just lets me watch foreign movies and critique the translations of the subtitles.

Al Cowens posted:Same but it's not really a thing you can talk about with other Americans without being utterly shat upon and having the most disgusting motivations ascribed to you because of it (see the first person to mention Japanese in this thread talking about weeaboos). German: Nazi. French: Snob. Any Asian language: Sex tourist or weeaboo. I suspect that's precisely what you were trying to demonstrate with your retarded GBS honeypot thread. It also doesn't help that study abroad is often a means for Americans to virtue signal or demonstrate that they are a member of a privileged class of enlightened worldly people. Actually, I wanted to know what languages GBS posters like to speak.

It doesn't matter how many languages you speak, you're not going to make many friends by being desperate for attention/approval, condescending, and preachy.

There's a really nice German language megathread in the educational forum. Go there and you too can be called a nazi repeatedly by people who should know better.

Let us use this thread to practice our language skills. All skill levels are welcome and this is a safe space for beginners and experts alike. With my two weeks of duolingo, personalized flashcard deck, and posting with like-minded people on Viadeo, here is my attempt: À mon avis, Keg suce la merde hors de son propre cul. Je voudrais l'assassiner sauvagement.

I speak English and was taught French in the third grade and took two years of German in high school, but I never used either of them afterward so I barely remember anything. I am decent at sign language, though.
