i still say it's impressive.

Who's talking about learning to write it? Yes, I learnt the pronounciations & memorized them (when I was a little younger but a lot more stupider) but it's pretty much the same as learning Kingdom Animalia. It can all be done in an hour-nothing impressive about that. But I guess knowing 5 languages is pretty impressive. I won't dispute that :D .

... it's pretty darn impressive, if you ask me.

I wanna do that with swear words. =P

I only use swear words where it is fitting to use swear words. This particular scenario is semi-fitting for an insertion of a swear word, but not wholly and thus does not commend my swear-word insertion.

Why are you'll after swear words? I could teach you words in other languages(barring swear words). At a fee, of course.

I see Sent didn't approve of my post :)
Nah, I'll pirate Rosetta Stone and work off of that, thank you very much.

or the free Google Translate, even better.

That way, even if you don't understand a language, you can know the difference between wishing someone well and swearing at them.

Or, more importantly, you know how to swear at other people in their native tongue, making the insult both easier to understand and much more punitive.

What's your native tongue?

I have an amalgam of native tongues.

Avoiding the question.
Pick one, or list em :)

Or, alternatively, say nothing.

How clever.
Ha.
Ah well.
So... happy for the weekend, am I.
Wish it were longer.

Homework to do. Bartiforums is my procrastination outlet.

This is merely a fun tool for procrastination, I can do it whenever :)

I was kidding-you could ask me :D .

Coming back to the topic- what are the languages thought in your school apart from English? Spanish, French & German?

Just Spanish and French, for me.

Ich lerne Deutsch von meiner Familie.

Just Spanish and French. We've got French teachers who also can teach German and Italian, but very few people take French and Spanish as it is, so we don't have those programs. Which sucks.

My school taught French, German, Spanish and Japanese.

French, Spanish, Latin. Yep, we have people who want to communicate with the Vatican guys.
