If you could speak another language, what would it be?
« on: February 10, 2010, 09:55:18 AM »
Obviously we cannot learn to speak other languages in this country, due to the fluoride in our water.  However, if this were not the case, and we could indeed learn to speak another language, which would you choose?

I would choose Japanese.  Many good reasons to speak Japanese.  If my wife dies, I want to try and have sex with a Japanese chick, and I believe it would be easier to do if I could lie to them in their native tongue.  Also, I am pretty athletic and wouldn't mind trying ninja school.  Living in Japan would also be fun, because they have beer in their pop machines.

Is it because of menus, or other reasons?

One of the languages that the south american jungle tribes speak. I would move in with them, walk around naked, and never worry about anything ever again except for dangerous jungle creatures.

Not necessary.  You can just wear a sweet shirt and point out to them what it says on the back.  Panty-dropper.

I'd like to be able to speak in the foreign language of in-depth football analysis, preferably in ALL CAPS.

So the only thing keeping you from doing this is the language barrier?

I know some German.  Useless.  I'm at the beginning of a ten to fifteen year project to learn French, Italian, and (more) Spanish.

You should see if your local library has mango access.  If they do, its a free online language learning tool (that you can use at home) that's supposed to be pretty damn good.

You can also buy ot for yourself, but why buy when you can get for free?

Americans?  Are you saying there are people out there who are not on board with this?
