Post by: Mal Brossard on June 28, 2006, 12:15:35 PM I just want to learn enough Yiddish so I can inject it into everyday speech, like this: http://www.bergen.org/AAST/projects/Yiddish/English/comwor.html
I had a couple of high school teachers who were fluent in several languages. One (my 10th grade history teacher) could speak fluent English, French, Italian, Latin, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Mandarin Chinese, and Sanskrit, and could fumble around reasonably well in Arabic and Hebrew. Another teacher (my 9th grade French teacher), who was born in Egypt, could speak English, French, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Hebrew, and Arabic while knowing a little of a couple other languages (for the life of me, I don't remember which ones though). They both agreed Finnish is the world's hardest language to learn if you aren't a native speaker of it. Latin is a close second. I'm actually testing my knowledge of French a bit right now. I just bought copies of Sartre's Les Jeux Sont Faits and Saint-Exupery's Le Petit Prince just to see if I can still read French. Title: Re: How many languages do you speak?
