As for a family member that speaks Japanese and Spanish, I wish I had one of those...
It is really cool to have such a diverse family. My Brother in Law is a font of really cool information AND he rides a Harley AND he cooks great foodLife is short, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And live out loud with no regrets..

ETA : just saw Greg had German listed so possibly FOUR MT will have to answer you on this. But he has quite the ear I suspect to have all of those languages. I too envy that ability and admire itLife is short, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And live out loud with no regrets..

Well if he comes from Holland it is a necessity. I live in a smaller country where 4 is the minimum. A stone's throw from him . So I speak the following:
1.Romanian (my mom)
2.Hungarian(my dad)
3.English
4. French
5. German
6. Luxembourgish
People can understand me in italian and spanish but I am not as fluent as in the ones I posted.
My girlfriend on the other hand is annoying . She speaks:
1.Danish
2.Norvegian
3.English
4.German
5. Spanish
6. Luxembourgish
7.Italian
...and now she takes classes for Dutch!!!

Good for you !! That is a pretty stellar accomplishment AND just really awesome
Not really . You have moments when you mix them and you play that back in your head and you are like: "Holy crap did I say that"? Often I translate from French to English and then I erase and flip the English button in my brain . I went to Frankfurt and I started talking to the my uncle's banker in French without realising . When he made a funny face, I said, hold on a minute , did I speak German or something else?

I've been to a lot of conventions over the last couple of years and have therefore met quite a few fellow GateWorlders. Have become good friends with some of them. Luckily I've never encountered a mod hating user, so the reactions have always been positive - or rather neutral. I find that most people don't really care whether I'm a mod here on GW. Which is how it should be because I attend cons as a fan, not as a GW mod.Last edited by Feli; 28 December 2007, 10:04 AM.
