Languages?

[Lofty]

Mines a strange one. Im great at English, well for the most part

I can read Spanish pretty good and understand it, but I can't speak/understand when spoken to very well. So yeah, 2 for me!

 

[Artichoke]

I just started taking a Spanish class a couple of months ago. So, I guess it's safe to say... Two :wink:

Furie. I know binary but I'm a cool young kid who wears sunglasses and codes in visual basic...

 

[furie]

I rewrote The Little Clippy Bastard in MS Office using Visual Basic. Also wrote a concept virus in it a long, log time ago.

Cobol is the only language I've ever become really accomplished in though to the point I could have done it "professionally" (I also learned Ada, C++, Fortran, 6502 Assembly, 68000 Assembly, BBC Basic, Spectrum Basic (and a little Spectrum machine code, I wrote my one and only game on the Spectrum) and STOS Basic).As soon as it came down to trying to control things on machine level and producing "large" code, I just couldn't handle it, except in Cobol, simply because my head just understands business processes and can convert it. It's weird... Coding just isn't my bag, but higher level and design I'm pretty good at. I just can't learn syntax :lol:

So binary and other computer codes are considered a language now?

Well, I guess my answer has changed then.

I speak English fluently, I did French for nine years and could probably get by no problem if I went to France, and as far as computer languages, Turing and Binary . Then like maybe 50 German words, and I can also sing "We Are One" from Lion King 2 in about 11 or 12 languages, not that it really counts as knowing a language, but it's still a fun fact .

I suppose two for me. English obviously and I got an A* in GCSE Spanish. Not sure how much I can remember from that now though.

 

[WelcomeToOblivion]

I used to be good at speaking German, but 'wo ist mein bleistifspitzer?' is pretty much the extent of that now. I can grasp a bit of spoken German though. Which comes in handy when German people are saying rude things about a friend at a music festival.

 

[Ben]

I'm meant to be quite good at Spanish, but, I'm REALLY not haha, I've forgotten nearly all of it lol...

So, one REALLY. I'm not going to pretend I speak two just to look cool...

Well, I guess you never know when you'll need to find your pencil sharpener, but that's a strange one to remember.
I took three years of French & all I remember from my first semester is the title of book "Les rues de Paris" & I was the only one in the class that couldn't spell Qu'est-ce que c'est.

I found out 'pimp' is Welsh for 4. Loool
