Blog Spin-off . . . ..
This blog was inspired by Danielangelvega . . . (nice blog)I thought it would be interesting to determine how low down on the list of additional languages, English is for some of our bloggers especially, but also for our silent background cheering squad.
It might even help us(HL) to be more tolerant of less than perfect spelling and sentence structure
So . . . just for interest sake, list your Home language (HL), followed by any additional language(AL) in the order of fluency/most commonly used.
Here's mine:
HL - English (Fluent)
AL1 - Afrikaans (Fluent)
AL2 - French (Very basic)
Here's to you

Me :

english- ( good, better in speaking)
russian- ( I can understand but cannot speak)
hebrew- ( some)
german-( some)
Also an impressive list of literary skills
But you didn't say what yours is?????
HL - English (native)
AL - none - some French back in school but not much ... exposure to Polish and some Russian at work but don't understand any of it.
Following Frank's lead:
- Car talk - Good
- Construction and Home Improvement - Good
- Geek - Very Good (with no desire to be fluent)
- Programming languages include Basic, Pascal, Fortran and limited exposure to C, APL, LISP. Also HTML - but is 'script' really a language?
I'm thinking that you're a linguist we have to watch out for
Speaking to you might to harzardous to my helth
That was meant to be "health"
Thank goodness . . . my computer understands those languages, because i'm just as useless at those as some of the others mentioned here
