I've traveled pretty extensively and found that I can learn enough of the language to get by pretty quickly.Does everyone understand the abilities are to speak any AND EVERY language you want, or to be able to play any and every instrument? Not that you can pick one extra language or one instrument. You can speak or play them all!
Maybe I wasn't clear. Or maybe I was, and you're knuckleheads. Probably some combination of the two.
I'll change the title from any to every for clarity.
Fuchs ca, je leur dis a tous LES DEUX que je parle Francais!!Even better. Tell the English speaking ladies you only speak Spanish and the Spanish speaking ladies you only speak English.
Sure: "The question."I dont understand, can you repeat the question?

Fully concur. And like I said before, all the better in a country where you can't speak the language. What do we really need to talk about?Pro Tip #3986: Speaking every language would not guarantee that one would get laid. Playing every instrument and having the ability to walk up to a hotel lobby or bar piano and play it a la Richard Gere in Pretty Woman would increase ones ability to get laid exponentially.
Interesting, where was that?Languages for me. I lived in the former Soviet Union working for a Dutch company. Although I had interpreters for business meetings, I was on my own for weekends. Shopping, parking cars and ordering in restaurants was an adventure.
That was not an option but now that you mention it I did forget to include Ham Sandwich.Lick my eyebrows. Im close as it is.
Which Republic?Languages for me. I lived in the former Soviet Union working for a Dutch company. Although I had interpreters for business meetings, I was on my own for weekends. Shopping, parking cars and ordering in restaurants was an adventure. I had a tutor to teach Russian, though I didn't have time to study as much as I should have. And I studied Spanish in high school and college. I remember very little.
Every kid I'm around, I tell them to take their foreign language elective seriously. Fluency in other languages, especially Spanish, Mandarin and probably Arabic, really helps fast-track careers.
How do you figure?
Reading yours and other responses, you have already answered this for yourself to a certain extent.
Ignoring the old adage that "music is the language of love", you don't have to have a conversation to 'communicate." Anyone can be impressed by good music, speaking the language, not so much.
