Se habla ingles?

[hackthis_archive]

I had a dream last night that I had to make this poll. It's just for curiousity's sake, but you know me, I may try to pick your brains later if I want one of my characters to start cursing at people in Russian. Even though my keyboard isn't equipped for Russian.

ETA: I define 'speak' as some degree of fluency/proficency where you can a) carry on a conversation b) curse prolifically and summon a policeman in said language and/or c) survive if you are kidnapped, tied up, dropped off in that country with nothing but your name, and can communicate well enough with other people (without sign language) so you can get back home.

Too much Burn Notice what?

ETA 2: Yes, kids, I know that Scandinavian and Eastern European are regions and not languages, but in some instances you have to generalize because unless it's for a paper, I'm not listing 600 languages.

I hit greek for the attic greek *g*

Mhmmm, even if I have issues with the fucking tenses (damn you aorist. And damn you middle voice)

I can read the bible in ancient greek, but I can't remember which dialect that actually is - I just know it's not attic.

Oh you damn jesuit college I transferred from!

I, yes. I hate when that occurs.

(ha, on the other hand, we got to practise reading greek and latin by reading mythology. You know, where the wife/brother/whatever is mad at the father/husband/brother-in-law/king, what have you... so they serve the kids for dinner.)

I kind of miss those classes...
