3. One if I don't include pig Latin. |
|
Of course I learned Latin in Catholic school, but only enough so I could contribute to the Mass, which was in Latin at that time.
I heard a 'joke' when I was about 12 years old:
What do you call someone who knows three languages? Tri-lingual
What do you call someone who knows two languages? Bi-lingual
What do you call someone who knows one language? American

4. Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese |
|
I say Brazilian Portuguese, because when I have met Portuguese people from Portugal, I can't understand a word they are saying. Then again, when I went to London for a couple a months, I couldn't understand most of what the British were saying.
Used to speak Afrikaans, a little SeTswana, and French, but if you don't use it, you loose it.
