my sister is fluent in ASL (american sign language), and I can't understand a damn thing she says

I can understand a few small bits of ASL but I am better with BSL.

Now if only BSL could have a one handed alphabet like ASL it would make some things easier.

If we're going to do computer languages I guess I'll add: Lingo and HTML.

hmmm, I hadn't thought about computer languages but I guess they could count as well. That would add html, some lingo and some java

German, I have been learning this language for 17 years :P, oh no wait I actually speak 'Badisch', "des isch � diitscha dialeggt" [it's a German dialect]

English, I have been learning this language in school for 7 years now and my teacher is getting mad at me cos she thinks I could already easily pass the a levels exams. Usually pupils have even problems passing them after 9 years of English education. Thanks to god she can't read my e-mails and posts or she would recede from her opinion

French, 5 years of french education and I'm living just 25km away from the french border but i am not very fluent in this language cos my teachers sucked and when you go to France and have a conversation with one of the inhabitants and hesitate for one second they start to speak German with you.

Finnish, I have tried to learn this language during the last 2 months but I was too busy with schoolwork. I will start a new attack in the great vacations

Nice thing with Suomeksi is that no teacher understands this weird language

BTW French English is funny cos you don't recognize it being English.

I have a dream and that dream is when I am 60 years old I am able to speak English, French, Finnish and Spanish fluently. Hope I get this job done in 43 years

ciao

Haha, you remind me of the principal from my school. He can 'speak' Latin and Ancient Greek perfectly but doesn't speak one word English. Sad thing cos there are quite some exchange students at my school and when they are introduced to my principal silence is reigning...

Well English of course, I picked that up somewhere along the way, but Slovak is my first language. Can speak Czech and can pretty much understand most Slavik languages (russian and all that jazz). Learned me some German at school but have forgotten most of it already. I can understand almost all of it, but its just harder for me to speak it, and can pretty much understand Norwegian too for some unknown reason (sometimes even word for word!)

Im weird
