Write a sentence in each of the languages you know.

Well, I'm pretty good with English, so I'll start with that.

Oui, nous allons tous tres bien, vous ette assize sous mon chapeau.

Dua kopi susu, satu tidak gula.

Haben zie ein zigaretten?

Uhh...that's about as good as it gets. My spelling is probably really bad...

I am the queen of fudging everything<---English

Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabris, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam.<---latin

I am writing a sentence in American English which is the only language I know.

O bixo do coco entro a minha casa e levouse toda minha ilusion.

Lo mejor que podemos hacer para salvar a la tierra es morir.

Nonhi yovo a. Y lehu agloussa daho!

Vive la France et la revolution!

I hope this works.

That's all I can think of right now.

Well, most of them are dead languages, but here goes:

(Obviously I know English).

French: Je parle Francais aussi. (I also speak French.)

Modern Hebrew: Ve ani yecholah gam ledabber ivrit. (And I can speak Hebrew as well.)

Akkadian: Shumma awilum in mar awilim uhtappid inshu uhappadu. (If a man should blind the eye of a man, they shall blind his eye. Laws of Hammurabi, 196.)

Spell-check had a great time with this comment...

Hello and welcome to the land of mashed potatoes and gravy.

Bonjour, je m'appelle Claire et j'ai 19 ans, mais je ne suis pas un poisson. (We never learned anything interesting in French!)

Um, I can't type in a cyrillic font, so this is vaguely what the Russian sounds like:

Strast-vee, moy brat zavoot "Boggit" eelee "Spud" eelee "Chuck". Mia padrooga zavoot "mandy" Eta harashow!

Ja, ich habe einige zigaretten!

(I'm learning German right now, and I'm very pleased with myself whenever I can make a sentence! I don't have to be able to speak it, thankfully--only to read dry academic works in it.)

What's up?
Como Estas?
Wie gehts?
Holy Molly Guacamoli?

Danke schoen!

*Waits patiently for someone who understands Malay to come through with the coffees*

Parlez Vous? (I think that's French, but I'm not sure what it says).

I'd say something in Sign Language, but that's impossible through a computer

I only speak American English but here's something from a book of poetry. The lil mark before each letter is supposed to be on but don't have the capability to do this correctly.

So can anyone translate this

and

I do!

Do you think that a French speaking person might get their ass off my hat?

That is French. You said: "Can you speak?" if you added "Allemagne" to the end, you would have asked the same question in French that you did in German!

I wouldn't count on it; the French are rude that way!
I'll have that second coffee when it arrives, though.

Hola! Como Estas?

German: Ich wuensche, dass ich wieder nach Deutschland fahren koennte, um meine Gastfamile zu besuchen, weil ich sie vermisse. Translation: I wish that I could travel back to Germany to visit my host family because I miss them.
Spanish: Estoy estudiando el Español en la universidad, y lo hablo tanto que a veces olvido como decir unas palabras en Inglés! Translation: I'm studying Spanish at the university and I speak it so much that sometimes I forget how to say some words in English!
English: English doesn't seem like a very colorful language to me, but I guess that's because I've spoken it since I started speaking.
French: Je suis le grand fromage. Translation: I am the big cheese.
Japanese: Yakamushi! Translation: Shut up!

A sentence.

Hi there.
Je parle francais un petit peu.
Ani rotza allergit le botnim ve le egozim.

How'd you do that? Maybe I could do a sign language sentence.

English - I'm Kaleb
French - Je M'appel Kaleb
German - Fikken grossmuten aschlock
Spanish - Jo tengo hambre
NZ Maori - Haire mai ki te kai
Sydney area Koori Aboriginal - Parramatta

DU BIST EIN CRAPZE KOMF!! (translation: You are a crap head!!) in German.

The quick brown fox jumped over the sleeping dog.

Today is Monday. (English)
Le mouton est blanc. (French; The sheep is white.)
Bese mi cula, pindejo! (Spanish; Kiss my ass, butt-hole!)
Shei­­­ße! (German; Crap!)
Ciao! (Italian; Hi!)
Ya tebya lyublyu (Russian; I love you)
Xing xing wu-dao piku (Mandarin; Kiss my ass)
Biddi asir b'dan min fadlakh. (Arabic; Bring me a glass of orange juice, please.)

You want (to be) allergic to plants and nuts?

The one with sugar or the one without?

But there's not much to choose from, but then again you knowing sign maybe you could figure something out!?

Well, the only thing that would work would be for the number 10.

I learned sign language a few years ago when I worked at a senior citizens recreational type center. No body else could talk to the 3-4 people who were deaf, except me. At the time I only knew the ABCs which was enough to spell words. I took a class so I could have conversations with one man in particular. The administrator of the place didn't even know sign language. I just thought it was sad that the man had to write everything down, so I took it upon myself to learn so he could have someone to talk to.
I think ASL should be taught in public schools all over. I even had to use it when I worked in fast food.

How wonderful you did that!!....I agree it would be nice to have ASL taught in schools....I wonder if any have this as an option at all??

I took two years of ASL at my high school. It was newly available then, which was about 5 years ago.

With, please!

That is nice I wish it had been available when I was in school...but hmmmm maybe it was and I just didn't pay attention ...I would like to learn...I have a program on cd for the puter but have never tried it...don't know why since I would like to learn. "I'm crazyeeeee...crazy (and procrastinator)because...I a a aammmmmmm..."

Question for you and Glassa.....was it easy to learn? And could you tell me what it was like and some idea if it is better to take a class then to learn on one's own? I am sure it prob depends on the person for the last question?

Damn! That was supposed to be for me. Maybe it isn't too late to change my order...

I had a really good time in the class. Unfortunately, I have forgotten many signs since then, but I still remember quite a few. I would recommend taking a class over learning on your own, if at all possible. It's so much fun to learn with a group of people. I got a little nervous in class, from having to sign in front of my classmates, but I felt that way in just about every class, so I think it's just the way I am. We also focused strongly on deaf culture, which was very interesting to me.
I'd say it was pretty easy to learn, although I never did quite grasp sentence structure.

I am shy in classes in the beginning...usually I start to feel more comfortable.

Well, if it's really good, thick (Middle Eastern style) coffee, I can handle it without the sugar.

I *am* allergic to peanuts and nuts. It's the only phrase I remember from my business trip to Israel 7 years ago. How would I say that? I thought I had it down pat.

Rotza means "want"; if you just leave it out, then your sentence says what you want it to say. "Ani allergit" would be "I am allergic," since there's no separate verb for the present tense of "to be."
That's pretty good memory for 7 years!

I didn't find it very hard. Many of the signs just make sense, like the sign for "baby" is when you hold a baby. "Boy" is tapping the rim of a baseball cap, while "girl" is running your thumb down the edge of your jaw where the bonnot would be.

I think in some areas they teach a little ASL in elementary school, but I think it ought to be offered as a foreign language class in high school.

I would join glitterbits in suggesting you take a class. It helps more and they do touch on the deaf culture and give you ideas on how to further your education. But if you go on your own and learn the ABCs first that would help.
My best friend and I used the ABCs to talk during class in junior high. It drove our English teacher nuts!

Interestingly, my ASL teacher was hearing while her husband was deaf. I think it enhanced the class.

Whenever I travel, I have to learn at least how to say *that* in the native language. I like to live ;).

A friend had taught me the ABCs but because I didn't use it often I forgot...tho I can still spell my name

Thanks to you both for your advice!!

That seems wise.

In Java, they serve it in big glasses. They hold about a pint of coffee. Sugar is always added unless you ask for no sugar (tidak gula). If you want milk (kopi susu), you get sweetened condensed milk instead of sugar or regular condensed milk (kopi susu, tidak gula).

Sounds like Thai or Vietnamese coffee. I like it with sweetened condensed milk.

I enjoy it for the novelty, but I wouldn't use condensed milk all the time. I prefer cream.

I don't use it in my coffee at home, either. Somehow it seems too...decadent. Although a friend on mine uses it when she makes middle eastern coffee. I usually stick to regular cream and sugar, too.

Every language I know,or every language I can write a sentence in? Is not the same!

I go for the second:

Questa è la mia lingua madre
I guess I know English very well
Mais j'ai oublié tout mon français
Also sprach Zarathustra ()
Noli me tangere
Go raimh maith agat
Vamos a comer
...

I only "know" language 1,2 and 3 though.

I didn't put languages where I only knew words and not full sentences.

Hola! Como esta?

Bonjour! Salut! Comment ca va?

Hi! Hello! How are you?

That is html language.

I

like it a lot

I've got hayfever! (English-English)

Le futur, je voudrais travailler dans un musee. (French)

Meenya savoot Kim. Ya Anglychanka. (Russian is put into phonetics since I'm not a dab hand at the alphabet!)

I did know a bit of greek, but have forgotten it now and can speak sign language too. I loved learning languages at school!

ichi nen kan de nihon ne sundeita, desu kedo. honmani, daitai osaka ni samishii nan da kedo sa.

fui na bahia dois veces para carnival e para praticar capoeira. gosto de la, mas a vida la nao e facil si voce nao tem dinhero.

have you been to Brazil?

Not yet...but i will some day. Why do you ask?

I thought that you wrote something in Portuguese. I saw Spanish for sure, wasn't there a bit in Portuguese?

This is my sentence and it's the only language I know !...(I know a few words in other languages.(Cajun)..but don't know how to spell them.)

oh yeah...the first one was in portuguese...there was spanish too

Falas portugues?

fui pra bahia no brazil 2 veces. mais meu portugues ta ruim. e voce?

Eu falo somente um poco...curso portugues na universidade...mais agora que falo um poco tenho que viagar ao Brasil e praticar.

I'm going to write in English now because it's more comfortable. Brazil is a great place - Brazilians like to joke around all the time for every situation. And I like Portuguese because it has a relaxing pronunciation. The first time I went to Brazil I thought I'd never want to visit anywhere else - just keep coming back to Brazil for the rest of my life. But, the second time I understood the language better and got to really talk to people and see the bad side - the poverty and corruption. Still, I want to keep going back and I'm going to continue to improve my language. I'm no good with the past tense.

I want to rest and listen to music
Quiero descansar y escuchar la radio

Toíchádh ár lá..

That's awesome....having grown up in Latin America i can truly imagine the poverty and corruption you speak of...its a plague of all countries in the region. The sad part is finding all that in the middle of such beauty. I'll also continue learning portuguese...i will one day live and work in Brazil. Its amazing that you keep going back....any place you'd recommend???

I've only been to Salvador, Bahia - and to a few places within Bahia (so far). But it was wonderful. I'm always asking myself if I wouldn't prefer to live there than here (Vancouver, Canada). There were so many social problems - but the culture is so wonderful. Brazilians are always joking. My friend told me about a friend of the family falling out of a second or third story window - and when he crawls back up everyone's laughing at him (no one cares to check if he's injured). Stuff like that. They'd tease me until I had tears in my eyes - but they accepted me white skin, imperfect language skills, no rhythm and all (the people in Salvador are mostly black or mulatto). I have a special tie to Salvador partly because my martial art group is connected to a teacher there (I study Capoeira). Can I ask you where you grew up? I have to get around to seeing some other places in Brazil.

I grew up in Guatemala, Central America. It's a beautiful place...not very touristy but full of adventure. I have a friend who is in Bolivia now, who studies Capoeira in Vancouver (her hometown)...i wonder if you know her...her name is Rocio (i realize Vancouver is a big city but i thought i'd ask anyway). Its funny that you mention your home town...i live in Hamilton & go to school in Toronto. I just got a summer job in Vancouver and know no one there...except the friend i told you about who won't be back until late August. I need help finding an apartment there...any advice? I've never been there before and i'm a little nervous about it

Which area of Vancouver is your summer job? I would look at the website lists of available rental places of a nearby university or college. Maybe I can recommend a place to search. Are you looking to share with a roommate or live on your own? I have a friend from Guatemala - and another friend visited there - so I've heard a little bit (I'd like to go). I haven't heard of Rocio - but I'll keep a look out for her. Maybe we'll meet at some event where different Capoeira schools get together. Also - don't be nervous about finding a place. There's lots available (as long as you don't have a pet - if you do I know 1 place). That is strange - I wrote to you because you wrote a sentence in Portuguese - and now I might be able to offer you some advice or something about Vancouver! My e-mail's barriginha@yahoo.com.
